Senior / Staff Electrical Engineer

Join our dynamic R&D team as a Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer. In this role, you will be responsible for the specification, design, build, and validation of electrical systems for wafer processing equipment. You will collaborate closely with software, mechanical, and process engineers to define system requirements and ensure cross-functional integration. You will also lead design reviews, risk assessments, and the DFMEA process, and collaborate with internal and external manufacturing partners. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrical engineering and experience in semiconductor capital equipment design.

• Act as a system or module owner responsible for specification, design, build and validation of electrical systems for wafer processing equipment.
• Partner closely with Software, Mechanical, and Process Engineers to define system requirements and ensure cross-functional integration of semiconductor capital equipment.
• Lead design reviews, risk assessments and DFMEA processes within a stage-gate process, and collaborate with internal and external manufacturing partners to build, refine and release designs.

• The ideal candidate will have broad experience applying solid electrical engineering principles to equipment design and enjoy the opportunity to engage in full system design with a strong ownership role in the engineering process from definition through delivery
• Experience working effectively with PLM and ERP systems to create and manage BOMs, ECOs
• Experience with electrical tools (Autocad Electrical, Altium, SPICE)
• Experience with design of power distribution, I/O control systems, interlocking and motion control
• Proficient driving complex, cross-functional hardware and embedded system issues from root cause to resolution
• Proficient with lab tools (oscilloscope, DVM, logic analyzers, hand tools)
• Experience with build, test and debug of prototype power panels, PCBAs, cables, I/O systems, computers
• BSEE with 3+ years or MSEE with 2+ year experience
• Strong working knowledge and ability to apply industry standards such as NFPA79 and UL 508A
• Experience organizing and tracking internal and external resources to accomplish overall goals
• If you meet most of the qualifications and are excited about this opportunity, we encourage you to apply
• Experience developing semiconductor capital equipment to SEMI S2, S22 standards
• Experience integrating EtherCAT and safety PLC systems
• Experience with industrial computer, OS integration and configuration
