The Senior RF Systems Engineer joins the engineering team to lead the architecture, development, integration, and qualification of RF power delivery solutions for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing equipment. This role involves translating process requirements into robust RF subsystem designs to optimize plasma performance, stability, and reliability. Key responsibilities include designing RF generators, match networks, and sensors while collaborating with cross-functional teams to define technology roadmaps. The engineer will utilize tools such as ADS, HFSS, CST Studio Suite, SPICE, MATLAB, and Python to perform circuit analysis, EM modeling, and thermal assessments. The work focuses on solving complex plasma-RF interactions, including ignition characteristics, harmonic behavior, and defectivity reduction for advanced applications like PECVD, CVD, and Etch processes in semiconductor manufacturing.
