Electrical Design Engineer – Semiconductor Equipment

Job Title

Electrical Design Engineer – Semiconductor Equipment

Role Summary

Design and implement FPGA-based embedded control systems and associated power/electronic subsystems for semiconductor capital equipment. Work on-site in a cross-functional team (systems, software, electrical, mechanical) and take ownership of HW/SW/FPGA partitioning, architecture, and system integration into customer facilities.

Experience Level

Mid-level (mid-career).

Responsibilities

Primary engineering responsibilities for electronic and control-system design in semiconductor equipment.

• Design, develop, modify, and evaluate electronic parts, components, and integrated circuitry for equipment.
• Develop FPGA architectures and implement logic for embedded control, including HW/SW/FPGA partitioning.
• Define and implement interfaces for sensors, actuators, and industrial peripherals.
• Analyze equipment performance, run experimental tests, and evaluate results to verify designs.
• Select components and verify vendor capability to support product development.
• Collaborate with systems, software, electrical, and mechanical teams; support system integration at customer sites.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and domain experience.

• Experience in FPGA design and implementation for embedded control systems (AMD Vivado, SystemVerilog).
• Embedded debugging skills and experience interfacing to sensors, actuators, and industrial peripherals.
• Semiconductor capital equipment power distribution design experience.
• Experience with PCB design process.
• Familiarity with system design models such as the Systems "VEE" and system-level partitioning.
• Understanding of system integration into customer facilities and willingness to travel internationally.
• Strong problem solving, ownership, leadership, and collaboration skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Previous work on semiconductor processing equipment or large-scale capital systems.

Education Requirements
