About the position

The position involves generating electrical design concepts and conducting feasibility studies for new CES/CIP/R&D project requests. The candidate will participate in design reviews, contribute to discussions, and develop various electrical systems including power distribution, voltage transformation, and electrical protection. The role requires hands-on design of control systems and integration with mechanical and software engineering, while managing communications with customers and vendors to meet project objectives.

Responsibilities

• Generate electrical design concepts and feasibility studies for making proposals for new CES/CIP/R&D project requests
• Conduct and participate in formal/informal design reviews to contribute and generate discussion/alternate ideas on various aspects of the design
• Design and develop system power distribution, voltage transformation/conversion, electrical protection and coordination, EMI and Harmonics management, Electrical Power calculations, electrical load flow analysis, power factor correction
• Design and engineering for medium complexity mixed signal circuit boards, proficient in the latest revision of Cadence product suite of design tools, with a hands-on demonstration of skills for OrCAD 17.4 required
• Electrical engineering supporting the design of mixed signal circuits, understanding electrical characters of mixed signal circuits, dc power distribution, ground planes and EMI shielding techniques
• Hands on design of control systems utilizing distributed bus architectures such as EtherCAT, TCP/IP, DeviceNet, POWERLINK, with knowledge for EtherCAT topology and protocols master/slave required
• Hands on design of 'safe' control systems utilizing safety PLC and discrete components
• Detailed electrical system design based on National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA79 and SEMI standards including electrical components selection, system layout and wiring
• Design of motor drives and control circuits, sensors/actuators control interface, instrumentation, safety interlocks and cables
• Electrical design integration with mechanical, control and software engineering
• Manage communications and expectations with internal and external customers and vendors to ensure accomplishing project objectives
• Work intensely with SAP, AutoCAD, Sharepoint and other software applications to properly manage and document projects
• Work hands-on when needed in the engineering lab and manufacturing to support the installation and test of CES/CIP designs that get delivered on customer systems
• Prepare, execute and analyze experiments to characterize and understand the behavior of control systems in complex semiconductor equipment
• Generate excellent documentation and presentations on experiments for internal review, with potential for publishing technical literature
• Work with other functional groups internal or external to translate proposals into working concepts and prove commercial feasibility, involving some degree of project management and travel to various business units
• Build/assemble sophisticated experimental apparatuses containing data acquisition and/or automated processing in a timely manner
• Work with and have a theoretical understanding of control systems and their interaction with complex semiconductor equipment subsystems
• Testing and troubleshooting equipment, systems, devices processes and/or test set-ups to locate and repair defective area(s), including analog, digital and mixed signal control circuits
• Other duties as assigned

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science with 10+ years' experience or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with 7+ years' experience
