Senior/Electrical Engineer

Position Summary

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, integration, testing and validation of electrical systems and subsystems for semiconductor machinery. The position will provide technical leadership, guide electrical engineers and work closely with System Engineers, external vendors and cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that meet design, safety and reliability requirements.

Responsibilities

Electrical Design and Development

• Work with System Engineers to define electrical system and subsystem design specifications.
• Design electrical interlock and power-distribution systems for semiconductor machinery.
• Develop electrical solutions involving motion control, automation and control-loop systems.
• Support the implementation and integration of printed circuit boards, frame grabbers, CCDs, capacitance gauges, analogue-to-digital converters and I/O boards.

System Integration, Testing and Validation

• Integrate, test and validate electrical systems and subsystems.
• Lead electrical design and validation activities throughout the equipment development lifecycle.
• Troubleshoot electrical issues involving noise, grounding and signal integrity.
• Ensure that electrical systems meet design specifications, performance requirements and reliability standards.

Technical Leadership and Support

• Lead and mentor a team of Electrical Engineers in executing design and validation activities.
• Provide technical guidance and support during equipment assembly, system integration and validation.
• Provide escalation support during equipment assembly, validation and customer-site deployment.
• Apply structured diagnostic and problem-solving methods to resolve complex electrical issues.

Diagnostic Tools and Fixtures

• Design diagnostic tools and fixtures for manufacturing and field-service applications.
• Support the development of suitable test and troubleshooting methods for electrical systems.
• Provide technical support to Manufacturing and Field Service teams when required.

Vendor Management

• Manage external vendors and contractors responsible for delivering electrical subsystems.
• Ensure vendor-delivered subsystems meet design specifications and reliability requirements.
• Work with external partners to resolve technical, quality and system-integration issues.

Safety and Compliance

• Ensure that electrical designs comply with applicable electrical-safety regulatory requirements.
• Apply appropriate safety considerations when designing and integrating AC and DC power-distribution systems.
• Maintain the relevant electrical design, test and validation documentation.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent discipline.
• Minimum 1-5 years of relevant experience in electrical-interlock and power-distribution system design.
• Experience in the wafer-fabrication, semiconductor-equipment or medical-equipment industry is preferred.
• Experience with motion-control, automation or control-loop systems.
• Experience implementing printed circuit boards, frame grabbers, CCDs, capacitance gauges, analogue-to-digital converters and I/O boards.
• Strong diagnostic skills, including the ability to resolve electrical noise, grounding and signal-integrity issues.
• Strong knowledge of AC and DC power-distribution systems.
• Familiarity with Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols.
• Experience with electrical-safety regulatory compliance.
• Leadership or mentoring capability in supporting electrical design and validation activities.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Team player with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, vendors and external partners
