Electrical Equipment, Appliance, and Component Manufacturing

Maintenance, and programming of advanced manufacturing equipment in a high-tech vacuum and thin-film deposition manufacturing environment. This role requires a broad skill set to manage complex machinery through the entire lifecycle of our process equipment from design through replacement..

  • Ensure all equipment adheres to safety standards (OSHA, NEC) and implement robust electrical safety protocols for high-voltage applications to protect personnel and equipment.
  • Maintain a clean and safe work environment
  • Perform troubleshooting and repair of existing equipment, spanning low-voltage DC circuits, HMI, sensor interfaces, and computer systems to AC line voltage and high-voltage, three-phase power supplies.
  • Conduct preventative maintenance to minimize downtime and optimize equipment performance.
  • Develop and maintain software for equipment control and automation. Responsibilities include designing, developing, and debugging software applications for control/automation of test and measurement equipment using LabVIEW.
  • Utilize programming skills for PLC programming and human-machine interface (HMI) development, ensuring intuitive and efficient operation of automated processes.
  • Develop software/firmware for microcontrollers and computer interfaces to manage process parameters, data logging, and safety interlocks.
  • Utilize AI to enhance systems and controls, reduce down time and analyze PM data trends
  • Design and build new electrical systems for bespoke manufacturing equipment, ensuring seamless integration with existing processes.
  • Develop detailed schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly instructions for new and modified equipment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer science, Automation Engineering, or a related cross functional degree with related experience in the field.
  • Proven experience in a manufacturing or industrial setting, specifically with vacuum systems or semiconductor equipment preferred.
  • Strong proficiency in trouble shooting, reading and interpreting electrical schematics, and technical documentation.
  • Experience with a range of electrical components, from low-power logic circuits and sensor technology to high-power three phase power supplies.
  • LabVIEW Proficiency (Highly Desired):
  • Strong programming skills in LabVIEW is a significant advantage in our existing hardware driven environment.
  • A strong understanding of LabVIEW development strategies and hardware integration and control systems is preferred.
  • Familiarity with various communication protocols (e.g., EtherNet/IP, Modbus, RS-232/485) for device integration and networking.
  • Should know Python and C++
  • Ability to work in a demanding manufacturing environment, including cleanroom settings.
  • Capable of lifting up to 50 lbs, standing for extended periods, and working in tight spaces to access equipment components.
  • Experience in programming and interfacing various manufacturing systems is desirable (i.e. Oracle with LabVIEW or Python).
  • Experience with data acquisition using National Instruments-based hardware systems (DAQmx, cRIO, cDAQ, or PXI) is preferred.
  • Knowledge of vacuum technology systems, including pumps, gauges, and mass flow controllers, and thin-film deposition principles (PVD/CVD) to optimize equipment functionality is a plus.
