Title & Location/Division Specific Information

Engineer III, Systems Design / US – Oregon - Hillsboro Fab Tools Group

How will you make an impact?

The Validation and Integration (VI) team are important members of the Research and Development community. As a collaborative team, we creatively apply the principles of systems engineer to exciting project opportunities. The development role changes with the phase of product development: Requirements analysis is followed by feasibility studies, error budgeting, modeling, prototyping, system characterization, coordinating product quality, reliability engineering, and demonstration of performance specifications, culminating with project release to manufacturing.

What will you do?

You will work on scanning electron and focused ion beam microscope systems. Our products are targeted for semiconductor customers demanding innovative wafer-to-atomic information workflows to improve their manufacturing and design decision-making process.

The role is dynamic and motivated by the specific needs of the project. Projects include module integration of charged particle optics, high voltage power supplies, ultra-high vacuum, gas deposition chemistry, image detectors, robotic wafer handling, electro-mechanical and pneumatics modules, controlled with automation software. Successful engineers learn how to analyze innovative technology, form concise problem statements, analyze relevant data, develop insight based on scientific models, and form a plan of next steps. Apply design of experiments (DoE) and statistical process control (SPC) engineering tools to understand sources of variation and develop process controls. As a staff engineer, you will have a technology leadership role mentoring peers within your functional team.
