About The Position

Applied Materials is hiring a Systems Engineer to design, integrate, and optimize complex systems used in the semiconductor industry. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop solutions for intricate processes and write system specifications. The engineer will analyze requirements, define system architectures, test and integrate subsystems, identify and mitigate risks, and ensure systems meet quality standards and customer expectations.

The position supports system engineering projects involving electrical, mechanical, physics, algorithms, and software design. It also includes prototype development and qualification, subsystem testing, system integration, reliability testing, troubleshooting, and support for field, technical support, and manufacturing personnel.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree.
• 4–7 years of experience.
• Comprehension of schematics, safety protocols, and systems-engineering principles.

Nice To Haves

• In-depth semiconductor-processing and system-level knowledge and experience.
• Knowledge of and experience with optical-based metrological-measurement techniques, sensors, and their mechatronics.
• Experience operating Applied Materials systems.
• Experience with Teamcenter PLM software, mechatronic-based devices, and Python scripting.

Responsibilities

• Complete the definition and design of complex components, modules, and subsystems.
• Contribute to system engineering specifications within the area of expertise and across other disciplines.
• Ensure designs meet market requirement specifications (MRS).
• Coordinate with project marketing and management to understand subsystem requirements.
• Lead architecture brainstorming meetings and guide the systems process toward selection of a final subsystem architecture.
• Conduct detailed engineering analysis of subsystems using knowledge of design concepts and functional requirements.
• Assist in creating architectural design concepts and evaluate architectures to recommend system solutions.
• Build and qualify prototypes of new designs, or procure subsystems from outsourced suppliers and test them against specifications.
• Identify and troubleshoot difficult engineering problems, including serviceability and manufacturability issues.
• Support system integration during assembly and final testing of new product designs.
• Perform and coordinate tests against internal and industry-accepted reliability specifications, and make suitable design or operational changes.
• Support system engineering projects involving electrical, mechanical, physics, algorithms, and software design, and understand their system implications.
• Provide remote and onsite support to field support, TSE, and MFG personnel as required.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Potential eligibility for participation in a bonus program and stock award program, as applicable.
• Programs and support intended to encourage personal and professional growth and employee health and wellbeing.
