Senior Supplier Quality Engineer, Raxium

As a Senior Supplier Quality Engineer for Raxium, based in Fremont, you will own the supplier quality of critical semiconductor and micro-display fabrication materials, components, and services critical to Raxium's manufacturing processes. You will serve as the primary supplier quality engineer for partners and vendors supplying materials such as sputtering targets, wafers, wafer substrates, and chemicals, and manufacturing services such as foundry, epitaxy, and thinning, dicing and pick and place. You will collaborate closely with Raxium engineering, supply chain, and external suppliers to drive comprehensive supplier quality management, rigorous Quality Control (QC) strategies, on-site audits, and Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCARs/8D) to deliver display technology quality.

Google's Raxium display group has established a revolutionary semiconductor materials display technology that enables new functionality in display products, bringing to users a closer and more natural linkage between the digital and physical realms in applications such as augmented reality (AR) and light-field display. With start-up roots and a state-of-the-art compound semiconductor fab in Silicon Valley, Raxium is seeking to build upon its engineering team with an aim to disrupt next-generation display markets.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
