Our team of product development engineers focuses on new product development, but we don’t just design it and run away. We typically take the development from cradle to grave (systems architecture, systems engineering, design, documentation, build, test, & release). We work on a variety of projects within Applied Materials and with a variety of groups (ion implant, CVD, automation, common systems, etc.).
We are looking for someone with a broad experience base who is willing to tackle difficult problems, learn new technologies and methods, and leverage existing technologies and methods
We are looking for someone with expertise in electrical engineering, software, and motion controls. We do a variety of product development efforts so a broad range of skills and a willingness to learn new skills is important to be successful in this job.
An ideal candidate would possess the following skills. A desirable candidate would possess many (but not all) of these skills and be willing to learn more over time.
General Electrical Skills
General power (AC & DC) and signal distribution design
Cabling design, schematic creation, sensor selection / integration
Basic knowledge of EMI / EMC mitigation designs
Semi and safety requirements for electrical designs
Controls Skills
Motor and encoder sizing and selection
Motor/drive tuning
Design of real time controls algorithms
Create mathematical models of mechanical (or general) systems for the control model
