Teams at KYOCERA SLD Laser

Leads MOCVD reactor and epitaxy equipment hardware for GaN laser production. Owns uptime, preventive maintenance, qualification, troubleshooting, metrology, spares, consumables, capital projects, vendors, budgets, and quality documentation. Manages equipment engineers and technicians, develops training and coverage programs, partners with process, facilities, operations, and quality teams, and drives hardware reliability and corrective actions.

Develop and optimize GaN epitaxial deposition processes using MOCVD. Plan experiments, analyze metrology data, improve process control and yield, and collaborate with chip fabrication teams on epitaxy and chip-design co-optimization. The role also supports quality systems, new product introduction, and high-volume manufacturing process development.

Drive new product introduction for GaN laser products by translating designs into manufacturable processes, optimizing process flows and controls, improving yield and uniformity, analyzing device performance with microscopy and statistical tools, documenting developments, ensuring quality and safety compliance, and reducing production costs. Collaborate with R&D, reliability, and failure-analysis teams to resolve technical challenges and deliver continuous process improvements.
