System Design Engineer, KLA Tencor
Responsibilities
Design, write and execute detailed test and characterization plans to test performance and reliability of complex patterned wafer inspection products. Define system and subsystem performance specifications. Create and monitor top-level system integration plans and validate system performance to specification. Hold requirements reviews, attend design reviews and develop associated engineering documentation. Provide engineering support for escalated manufacturing and field issues. Develop and improve diagnostic and calibration procedures. Interact and work with other engineering groups, marketing, field support and manufacturing groups in the course of the above duties.
Perform analysis to qualify systems for sensitivity and, more specifically, against sensitivity baseline shifts. Troubleshoot hardware, software, and calibrations as they impact sensitivity and performance. Attend software change control board meetings and hardware design review meetings to arbitrate issues that may impact system sensitivity. Duties also include writing detailed system analyses to quantify any allowable system changes that may influence the sensitivity baseline.
The successful candidate will have a multi-disciplinary background that allows understanding of optical systems, electro-mechanical systems and electrical sensor systems (CCD�s and TDI�s). This would include basic understanding of optical aberrations, frequency domain analysis techniques, vibration troubleshooting and electronic sensor signal to noise analysis. In addition to this knowledge base, this individual will be able to propose experiments based upon analysis (or model) and then be comfortable to collect the data in a hands-on fashion and conduct analysis in MATLAB (or other advanced analysis environment) to determine a conclusion.
Some travel within the US and international is required.
Qualifications
BS required (MS or Ph.D. preferred) in Physics, Electronics, Optics, or related technical field.
Hands-on experience designing, building, operating, and/or troubleshooting complex instruments, such as experimental research instruments, medical systems, or semiconductor capital equipment. Knowledge of optics, electronics, software, and/or mechanical systems. Strong analytic and data analysis skills. Programming experience a definite plus. Excellent oral and written communication skills, including asking good questions and providing clear technical explanations. Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams and to take a leadership role when needed. Quick grasp of challenging, complex technical information. Natural curiosity, inventiveness, and a love of making things work better. Availability for travel both domestically and internationally.
Strong background in experimental design, data acquisition and analysis required.
Skills in standard data analysis techniques and tools (Excel, Matlab, etc.) required.
Strong English and good communications skills required.
Familiarity with optical design and/or optical engineering desired.
General knowledge of IC fabrication and semiconductor industry experience desired.
Other Qualifications:
Leadership and/or Technical Team Management experience desired. Management career path available to the right individual.
