Job Description/Preferred Qualifications
Overview of Role
This position is for an Electrical Engineer to support the design and development of semiconductor capital equipment. The position spans development of new products as well as support of existing ones. The role requires strong hands-on electrical design, system integration, and troubleshooting skills in a cross-functional development environment.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Design & Development
- Perform analog and digital electrical design for prototype and production boards, including schematic capture, board bring-up, and validation.
- Own and drive board-level design activities, including power, signal integrity, and mixed-signal interfaces, in collaboration with system and architecture teams.
- Contribute to FPGA-based designs, including requirements definition, integration, and debug at the system level.
- Perform hands-on assembly, integration, and modification of electronic boards and sub-assemblies, including cables, connectors, and harnesses, for prototype and pre-production systems.
- Support mechanical and electrical integration of electronic assemblies at the system level.
- Perform rework, repairs, and hardware modifications as required to support development and validation activities.
- Perform hands-on electrical work in the clean room on prototype tools, including installation, powerup, performance validation, and debug.
- Support early hardware validation activities, own electrical redesign efforts when required, and implement improvements to enhance robustness and performance.
- Work closely with system engineers during prototype phases to ensure electrical requirements are met.
- Lead and support troubleshooting of complex board, FPGA, and system-level electrical issues on prototype and pre-production tools.
- Provide escalation support, including root cause analysis and definition of corrective actions.
- Interface directly with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve critical technical issues impacting program milestones.
- Work closely with Program Managers to define, track, and implement electrical requirements across programs.
- Collaborate with Mechanical, Software, Systems, and Mechatronics teams to ensure successful end-to-end system integration.
- Participate in technical design reviews and clearly communicate electrical trade-offs, risks, and recommendations.
