What you will do

• Own system requirements and architecture for laser annealing products and major platform improvements.
• Lead integration of mechanical, electrical, optical, software, thermal, pneumatic, gas-flow, control, and process subsystems.
• Define verification and qualification strategies for performance, reliability, safety, and high-volume semiconductor manufacturing readiness.
• Design and execute experimental test plans, analyze system and process signals, and turn results into design decisions and corrective actions.
• Resolve complex system issues through root-cause analysis and coordinated action across engineering teams.
• Evaluate technology trade-offs and drive platform improvements in performance, productivity, quality, and cost of ownership.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, optical engineering, systems engineering, physics, or a related technical field with at least 8 years of relevant experience; or a master’s degree with at least 6 years; or a doctorate with at least 3 years; equivalent experience is also accepted.
• Experience defining requirements and leading system integration, verification, and performance qualification for complex equipment.
