Job Description
Position: Systems Engineer REQ Location: Santa Clara, CA Duties: Design and implement real-time control algorithms for mechanical systems for semiconductor capital equipment including motion, temperature, pressure and/or RF control systems with limited supervision. Complete definition of control system requirements and ensure designs meet market requirement specifications (MRS). Coordinate with project marketing, management and cross-functional teams to understand system software requirements. Conduct complex studies to determine the feasibility, costs or performance benefits of new designs. Create dynamic models of advanced precision mechanical systems for design and simulation of model-based control strategies. Optimize models for deployment for real-time control on embedded hardware with limited supervision. Develop highly reliable, maintainable and testable code and documentation for a variety of software projects. Research, select and apply actuators, sensors, communication technologies and control devices for motion, temperature, pressure and/or RF control in semiconductor capital equipment. Conduct experiments to evaluate control performance and robustness. Perform and coordinate tests per internal as well as industry-accepted reliability specifications. Debug embedded hardware and software problems. Make suitable design or operational changes as required. Publish engineering reports documenting design details and qualification test results. Support system integration during the assembly and final testing of new product designs. Requirements: Masters degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, plus three (3) years of experience in the job offered or related occupations. In the alternative, the employer will also accept a PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. This position also requires education or experience with each of the following: 1. Research and design of advanced control systems 2. Classical and modern control including linear and non-linear feedback control implementation on real-world systems 3.
