Role RESPONSIBILITIES

Systems engineering (70%):

• Own system architecture for next-generation optical inspection and metrology platforms, translating market requirements into justified high-level and detailed system requirements using established systems engineering methods.

• Develop conceptual designs, system budgets, models, and simulators to support architecture decisions.

• Identify and troubleshoot complex multi-disciplinary engineering problems spanning mechanical, electrical, software, and optical domains.

• Develop test plans and procedures. Design, construct, and calibrate test benches for key components, modules, and subsystems.

• Lead system integration during assembly and final testing of new product designs.

• Develop integration methods, procedures, and tooling in partnership with the hardware team.

• Process and analyze data from simulations, benches, prototypes, and production tools. Present findings clearly to peers and management.

• Conduct system design reviews in accordance with the Program and Product Lifecycle (PLC) development process.

• Make sound design and development decisions under incomplete information, using analytical and AI-assisted tools where they add value.

Technical leadership and project management (30%):

• Lead a cross-functional team of mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineers, designers, integrators, and technicians to deliver critical modules and platform capability on schedule and within cost targets. You will lead this team as its technical authority in a matrixed organization; team members report to their functional managers.

• Set technical direction, drive the team to consensus on architecture and design trade-offs, and hold the team accountable to development milestones.

• Partner with program management and marketing to hit development milestones and meet Marketing Requirements Specification (MRS) commitments.

• Qualify and manage vendors and suppliers delivering critical components and modules.

• Collaborate with manufacturing, reliability, and service teams. Generate procedures, best-known methods (BKMs), and training to transfer engineering knowledge.

• Communicate status and technical risk clearly, using diagrams, scorecards, and concise written documentation.

Minimum QUALIFICATIONS

• MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.

• 5-10 years of industry experience in design and development engineering roles.

• Demonstrated ownership of system architecture and requirements for complex electro-mechanical or opto-mechanical products through at least one full development cycle to production release.

• Proficiency in Python or MATLAB for data analysis, modeling, and simulations.

Preferred QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in semiconductor capital equipment design and development.

• Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams without direct reporting authority.

• Experience developing and defending system-level error, tolerance, or performance budgets.

• Hands-on experience with test bench design, system integration, and bring-up of prototype hardware.

• Experience with platform - associated challenges including but not limited to: module packaging and interdependences, vibration risks, particle contamination, cooling solutions, temperature and environmental control.
