We are looking for an Electro Optical System Architect
Role Description
Our System Engineering team is a multidisciplinary group of physicists and engineers leading the development of next-generation metrology technologies from early research through full product delivery. The team designs advanced systems that integrate hardware and mechanical design, optics, electronics, motion and control, algorithms, and software for demanding semiconductor manufacturing applications.
In this role, you will help shape high-performance metrology products built for the semiconductor industry, where accuracy, precision, speed, and robustness are critical to high-volume manufacturing environments.
You will bring a combination of scientific rigor, innovative thinking, and deep system-level understanding, with the ability to investigate complex multidisciplinary challenges and translate physics- and algorithm-based insights into practical solutions.
Beyond technical expertise, you will take a broad view of the system and its business context, balancing customer needs, product requirements, serviceability, and manufacturability.
Responsibilities
What will you be doing:
Theoretical and experimental study of new system methods and algorithms to support state-of-the-art solutions
Define, drive, and own end-to-end implementation and validation of system solutions across disciplines
Lead system architecture definition and performance budgeting
Drive cross-functional technical decisions across optics, algorithms, mechanics, and SW
Serve as technical focal point for system-level trade-offs and escalations
Mentor junior engineers and researchers in system thinking and methodology
Hands on tool experiments and testing in clean-room environment
Service and production guidance and support on challenging topics
Lead cross-functional teams (HW, SW, algorithms) to deliver coherent system-level solutions
Data and statistical analysis
Advanced logic and sequence design
Algorithm development
Performance and critical behavior testing and design
Developing practical solutions and methods for critical challenges
Conduct lab and on-site system diagnostics, troubleshooting, and problem-solving. Tasks include root-cause analysis, mitigation plans, implementing robust system calibration methods, and product transfer to manufacturing.
Intensive interface with diverse disciplines: physics, optics, algorithms, mechanics, electronics, and software.
Transform customers high-level requirements into concrete technical specifications and design.
Flights to customers around the world (up to 2 times per year).
