Senior Electrical Engineer

The Senior Staff R&D Electrical Engineer will operate in a dynamic, R&D environment developing semiconductor capital equipment in close collaboration with software, mechanical and process engineers. This role will act as a system owner in the specification, design, build and validation of electrical systems for wafer processing equipment. The ideal candidate will have broad experience applying solid electrical engineering principles to equipment design and enjoy the opportunity to participate in the engineering process from definition through production.

• Partner closely with Software, Mechanical, and Process Engineers to define system requirements and ensure cross‑functional integration of semiconductor capital equipment.
• Design electrical power distribution, device I/O control, interlock schemes and interface circuits.
• Integrate, direct and lead other team members in accomplishing system design, build and test.
• Lead design reviews, risk assessments and DFMEA processes within a stage‑gate process.
• Create and manage project schedules with strong ownership of deliverables.
• Collaborate with internal and external manufacturing partners to build, refine and release designs.
• Build, test, debug prototype machines and subsystems.
• Drive methodical multi-disciplinary root cause analysis when necessary.
• Elevate the team by sharing your expertise and guiding other team members.

• BSEE with 15+ years of experience or MSEE with 10+ years of experience in equipment design.
• Strong electrical engineering fundamentals with demonstrated expertise in machine design.
• Experience with design of electrical power distribution, I/O control systems, interlock design, and motion control subsystems for capital equipment.
• Experience with electrical system and PCBA design tools (Autocad Electrical, Altium, SPI‑CE).
• Experience organizing and tracking internal and external resources to accomplish overall goals.
• Strong working knowledge and ability to apply industry standards such as NFPA
  79 and UL 508A.
• Proficient with lab tools (oscilloscope, DVM, logic analyzers, and hand tools).
• Experience with build, test, debug of prototype power panels, PCBAs, cables, I/O systems, and computers.
• Experience with structured methods for root cause analysis and problem solving.
• Experience working effectively with PLM and ERP systems to manage BOMs and ECOs.
• Experience developing semiconductor capital equipment to SEMI S2, S22 standards.
• Analog circuit and FPGA design and modeling experience.
• Experience integrating EtherCAT and safety PLC systems.
• Experience with industrial computer, OS integration and configuration.
• Experience integrating motion control or high‑power laser systems.
• Proficient with mechanical CAD (Solid Works or similar).
• Experience with test automation and data analysis techniques.
• Excellent leadership, problem‑solving, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.
• Strong technical acumen, communication and presentation skills: capable of engaging in detailed technical discussions while simplifying complex topics for a broader audience.
