Job Title

Systems Engineer

Role Summary

Design, modify, and troubleshoot electrical and electronic subsystems for semiconductor equipment. Work across disciplines to develop system architectures, build or procure prototypes, and validate subsystem performance through testing and integration.

Experience Level

Mid-level - minimum of 6 years' experience as a system design engineer (per minimum qualifications).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include system-level design, analysis, integration, and support for complex equipment:

• Define and design complex components, modules, and subsystems to meet market requirement specifications.
• Coordinate with project marketing and management to capture subsystem requirements.
• Lead architecture discussions and drive selection of final subsystem architectures.
• Perform detailed engineering analysis across electrical and adjacent disciplines.
• Develop concepts for architectural approaches and recommend optimal system solutions.
• Build and qualify prototypes or procure subsystems from suppliers and test to specifications.
• Identify and troubleshoot difficult engineering issues including serviceability and manufacturability.
• Support system integration, assembly, and final testing of new product designs.
• Execute and coordinate reliability testing and implement design or operational changes as required.
• Provide remote and onsite support to field teams as required.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for this role.

• Minimum 6 years' experience as a system design engineer (must-have).
• Demonstrated depth and/or breadth of expertise in system engineering (must-have).
• Experience designing or modifying electrical/electronic assemblies, layouts, schematics, and detailed drawings/specifications for control systems (must-have).
• Control architecture design experience with system-level knowledge, integration, and testing (must-have).
• Knowledge of semiconductor equipment and tools (must-have).
• Ability to lead cross-disciplinary engineering work and coordinate with suppliers and manufacturing (must-have).
• Willingness to travel up to ~10% for field support and integration (must-have).
• Nice-to-have: experience building prototypes and qualifying outsourced subsystems; experience with reliability testing standards.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree required. The posting does not specify a field of study or list an explicit "equivalent experience" allowance.
