There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
The real-time control software engineer will be responsible for developing software, firmware, and FPGA logic for Axcelis ion implanter control systems. These systems are large, complex capital equipment used by semiconductor manufacturers, operating fully automated 24/7 to manufacture semiconductor integrated circuits. The ion implanter systems implant ions into silicon wafers by directing an ion beam onto the wafers, achieving wafer processing rates that exceed 500 wafers per hour. Reliability and maximum uptime are critical, with an absolute minimum of failures required. The wafers are implanted in a high vacuum environment within a process chamber, and wafer handling control is managed using Delta Tau PMAC controllers and commercial servo amplifiers. In this role, the engineer will design, implement, and test control software to introduce new control features while maintaining existing ones. A thorough understanding of current implant control features and new control hardware is essential for developing the necessary software and firmware. The engineer will also be responsible for writing subsystem verification and test routines, collaborating closely with mechanical, hardware, validation/reliability, and manufacturing engineering disciplines to ensure seamless integration and functionality of the control systems.
