The Systems Engineer 4 joins the Systems Engineering team within the Global Product Engineering group to develop semiconductor fabrication equipment for the Etch, Deposition, and Clean markets. This role involves designing complex frameworks and products for wafer fabrication equipment by defining system specifications, requirements, and parameters to integrate hardware, software, and firmware. Key responsibilities include creating specifications for transport module subsystems, managing design tradeoffs, designing experiments to characterize subsystems, and performing hands-on lab work. The engineer must analyze data using Statistical Analysis of Variation and SPC methods while managing system level risk. Required skills include Python coding for file parsing, data analysis, and plotting, alongside an openness to using AI. The role focuses on resolving technical risks across multiple disciplines in semiconductor manufacturing.
