We are looking for an Electrical Systems Engineering Manager-Metrology to lead the design and development of complex electrical systems for high-precision metrology and inspection equipment. This role requires deep expertise in analog and digital circuit design, system integration, and cross-functional collaboration to drive innovation and ensure product excellence.


RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Lead the design, development, and validation of electrical subsystems for semiconductor metrology tools.
  • Architect and implement analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits with a focus on precision, reliability, and manufacturability.
  • Oversee PCB design, layout, and bring-up, ensuring compliance with signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and safety standards.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, optics, and systems engineering to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership in design reviews and project planning.
  • Drive root cause analysis and resolution of complex electrical issues in both development and production environments.
  • Ensure designs meet regulatory and industry standards (e.g., SEMI, CE, UL).
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes and documentation.


BACKGROUND PROFILE:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in electrical design, preferably in semiconductor capital equipment or precision instrumentation.
  • Proven track record in analog and digital circuit design, including power systems, signal conditioning, and high-speed interfaces.
  • Proficiency with design and simulation tools (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD, SPICE, MATLAB).
  • Strong understanding of system-level design, grounding, shielding, and thermal considerations.
  • Experience with embedded systems, FPGAs, or microcontrollers is highly desirable.
  • Stepping and servo motor control knowledge is a plus.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and project management skills.
  • Willingness to travel to support designs in manufacturing and at customer sites.
  • Writing skills for preparing manuals, parts lists, proposals, and design documentation.


Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with low-noise analog circuit design.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor process flows and metrology techniques.
  • Familiarity with automation, robotics, and real-time control systems.
  • Familiarity with vacuum systems, cleanroom environments, and motion control systems
