About The Position

The HW Qual and DST Engineer serves as a technical expert in at least two R&D disciplines, such as optics, electronics, motion, or SEM. The role supports R&D module owners with module integration, calibration, and qualification, both on and off tool, and qualifies module performance against specifications. The engineer also supports R&D development activities in C&F. The position leads qualification of complex non-system components isolated from application, conducts risk assessments, and defines and executes qualification plans and calibration procedures. As a tool owner, the engineer is an expert in tool build and complex integration. The role defines and qualifies production documentation, including full build books and full subsystem ATP tests, and provides advanced debugging and third-level escalation for modules within the engineer’s areas of expertise. This role may lead functional teams or projects with moderate resource requirements, risk, or complexity. It uses sophisticated analytical judgment to lead others in solving complex problems, recommends best practices in response to business challenges, and communicates difficult concepts while working to gain agreement on differing points of view. The position is based in Albany, New York, requires 10% travel, and is eligible for relocation.
