Short Description
This position involves, Electrical design support for manufacturing and field. In this position you will work with a team and across engineering disciplines (i.e. process, mechanical, software, systems) to solve issues in-house and in the field. Travel will be required for initial training and to support the customer.
Description
- Designing, developing, and/or modifying electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for use within K&S’ line of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, as well as for use in future design revisions and upcoming product lines;
- Designing electronic systems for processing analog signals within existing hardware components, including integrated circuits, analog-digital (A/D) converters, and digital to analog converters (DACs);
- Designing, testing, and refining microcontrollers and other chip-based components for implementation into manufacturing hardware.
- Designing, developing, and implementing digital electronics systems or components for use within K&S’ proprietary semiconductor manufacturing equipment, such as digital signal processing systems, microcontrollers, serial peripheral interfaces, and similar systems.
- Analyzing equipment to establish operating data, conducting experimental tests and evaluating results with the goal of selecting components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability.
- Carrying out ongoing testing and refinement work related to electrical systems and subsystems, with the objective of evaluating these components’ effectiveness and efficiency (both individually and in the context of the broader systems and products into which they are integrated), as well as to ensure that they are performing as expected and within intended specifications; and preparing and presenting technical reports on designated ongoing electrical development projects.
Responsibilities
- Designing, integration, and debugging of industrial robotics and controls that use motors, solenoids, switches, and sensors combined with microcontrollers, microprocessors, and FPGA’s;
- Designing analog electronics for processing analog signals including OP Amps, A/Ds, and DACs, gain & filter stages, sensors and encoders feedback;
- Designing Digital logic using FPGA (Altera Cyclone), DSP and knowledge on PCIe, Ethernet, EtherCAT;
- Designing interconnections between electronics modules;
- Structuring of parts within an assembly BOM and at the system level; and writing code for debug of embedded control.
Qualifications for Internal Candidates
- Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and minimum 5 years of work experience in related field. OR
- Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and minimum 3 years of work experience in related field.
