Principal Microwave Plasma Scientist - Semiconductors

Principal Microwave Plasma Scientist – Semiconductors

My client is seeking an individual with strong problem solving skills who will apply physics and engineering principles in the design of new equipment used for diamond growth. A successful candidate likely has prior experience with semiconductor equipment design or experience with plasma systems.

• Design new microwave components and systems used for plasma enhanced CVD reactors and other tools used in the production of CVD diamond
• Model the plasma and microwave behavior of reactor components in order to improve reactor designs and understanding
• Develop diagnostics for reactor and plasma monitoring and control, implementing diagnostics in manufacturing
• Architect and perform experiments to understand hardware impacts to plasma and diamond growth, specifically as it relates to microwave sources and components

• At least 5 or more years of industry experience
• PhD in engineering or applied physics and expertise in high‑power, microwave frequency systems
• Hands‑on experience with RF/microwave equipment used in the test of microwave components and sources (VNAs, signal generators, diodes, etc.)
• Experience with high vacuum systems and plasma based devices
• Proficiency in a full‑wave electromagnetic design tool (HFSS, CST MWS, or COMSOL) and proficiency with other circuit design/layout tools.
