Responsibilities

Drive the development of technologies for semiconductor equipment systems including Laser Annealing and other products.
Develop concepts and drive design and testing of new components/sub-systems across product lines, potentially including gas sensing, precision motion, vacuum, precision thermal, and/or laser metrology systems to enable critical equipment capabilities.
Determine the system/component specifications, input/output requirements, and working parameters for hardware/software compatibility.
Contribute to the design of hardware and software features, prototype integration, and testing of assemblies, subsystems, and systems.
Develop and execute experimental test plans to facilitate a thorough analysis to validate system performance.
Use problem-solving methods and systems analysis to break down and solve complex problems, while working with cross-functional teams.
Perform advanced data and statistical analysis to study system and process output signals and subsequently identify and/or resolve issues.
Develop and evaluate concepts and designs for next-generation systems.
Structured risk assessments including FMEA/FMECA
