Semiconductor and MEMS device manufacturing with process optimization focus
Silex Micro is a small-scale semiconductor and MEMS device manufacturer operating from Beijing with an engineering-heavy organization (13 of 8 total headcount in engineering roles) and senior-heavy seniority mix (10 of 20 open roles at senior level). The tech stack—Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics for design, plus manufacturing-focused tools like LabVIEW, ASML, and SAP—reflects a vertically integrated operation spanning chip design through fab execution. Active projects center on process optimization (CMP machine testing, furnace tube characterization, statistical experiment design) while pain points cluster around yield improvement and cost reduction, suggesting the company is in the phase of scaling manufacturing reliability rather than design innovation.
Silex Micro develops semiconductor and MEMS devices with in-house manufacturing capabilities. The company operates a small, senior-led team split between engineering and manufacturing functions, supported by finance and operations. Their project pipeline indicates active work across process development, equipment validation (CMP and furnace tube systems), and infrastructure (ultra-pure water and wastewater treatment systems). The organization uses enterprise tooling (SAP, ERP, MES) alongside specialized semiconductor CAD suites, positioning them as a vertically integrated fab rather than a fabless design house.
Design and simulation: Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, ASML. Manufacturing control: LabVIEW, MES, ERP, SAP. Analysis and planning: JMP, SPSS, Minitab, Python, C, C++. Office and visualization: Excel, Power BI, Microsoft Project, AutoCAD, Visio.
MEMS and semiconductor process development: CMP machine testing, furnace tube characterization, yield improvement, statistical experiment design, and infrastructure projects (ultra-pure water and wastewater systems). Focus areas include cost reduction and production efficiency.
