Job Description: Senior Cable Design Engineer

We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Cable Design Engineer to serve as the technical authority for cable and harness design across advanced semiconductor equipment platforms.

What's in it for you?

You will own critical cable and interconnect decisions from architecture through production and field support, lead cross-functional technical activities, and drive standardization, cost, quality, and supplier improvements.

Our Group: R&D

The team develops and supports cable and harness solutions for complex multidisciplinary semiconductor equipment, working closely with module design, routing, manufacturing, sourcing, and global suppliers.

What you'll be doing:

• Serve as the primary technical authority and owner for all cable and harness design decisions, including cable architecture, interconnect strategy, cable technology selection, and connector selection.

• Design, develop, and maintain cable and harness assemblies, electrical interconnects, and related documentation for advanced semiconductor equipment platforms.

• Define cable architectures, connector interfaces, shielding, grounding, and EMC solutions for complex electromechanical systems.

• Create, review, and approve cable BOMs, engineering drawings, specifications, and release documentation.

• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve complex cable, interconnect, manufacturing, and field-related issues with limited supervision.

• Lead design-for-cost, standardization, and commonality initiatives to improve quality, reduce cost, and enhance supply chain robustness.

• Define, coordinate, and support engineering validation activities, qualification testing, and failure analysis of cable and harness solutions.

• Technically lead cable-related engineering projects and support the development, qualification, and management of key suppliers.

• Collaborate with module designers, routing engineers, manufacturing engineers, sourcing teams, and suppliers to deliver robust and scalable solutions.

• Support pilot builds, production ramp activities, ECO implementation, and field issue resolution.

• Serve as a technical resource and mentor to junior engineers and designers and lead cross-functional project teams as required.

• Clearly communicate complex technical information and build consensus across engineering, operations, and supplier organizations.

What you should have?

Minimum Qualifications

• Electrical Engineering diploma, or equivalent technical education.

• 10+ years of experience in cable and harness design, electrical interconnects, or electromechanical systems.

• Experience designing static, dynamic, cleanroom, and vacuum-compatible cable assemblies.

• Experience with cable BOM creation, connector selection, engineering documentation, and product release processes.

• Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering environments and leading technical activities across functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in semiconductor capital equipment design and development.

• Strong knowledge of cable technologies, connector systems, EMC, grounding, shielding, and motion-control applications.

• Experience with E3Series (E3S) or similar electrical design and documentation tools.

• Demonstrated experience driving standardization, commonality, cost-reduction, and design-for-manufacturing initiatives.

• Experience working directly with global suppliers, including technical evaluations, qualification activities, and cost optimization programs.

• Strong knowledge of industry best practices, product lifecycle processes, and design control methodologies.

• Demonstrated leadership skills with the ability to lead technical projects and influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
