TL;DR · Vacuum System Engineer

The Vacuum System Engineer joins the Defectivity Module Delivery Unit within the Development and Engineering sector. This role focuses on creating contamination-free vacuum environments for advanced Extreme Ultraviolet lithography machines. You will model and design gas flows from atmosphere to deep vacuum, select appropriate materials, and design cleanliness processes to support vacuum-grade performance in scanner and test-rig environments. Key responsibilities include specifying vacuum components, defining pump-down and vent procedures, and executing qualification tests or designs of experiments for degassing chambers. You will utilize skills in vacuum systems, gas-flow architecture, molecular cleanliness, and particle transport. The role requires performing pressure-drop and flow budgeting calculations while troubleshooting surface particulate issues. You will collaborate with architects and research partners to ensure high wafer yield and machine availability in semiconductor manufacturing.

What you'll do

  • Model and design gas flow from atmosphere to deep vacuum for scanner and test-rig environments.
  • Select appropriate materials and design cleanliness processes to support vacuum-grade performance.
  • Translate system designs into gas-flow and vacuum architectures that meet specific performance requirements.
  • Specify vacuum system components, standards, and procedures within Technical Product Documentation.
  • Define, model, and execute qualification tests to verify subsystem performance and design requirements.
  • Analyze and specify flushing and venting procedures to resolve particle contamination issues.
  • Perform calculations to predict pressure-drop, flow budgeting, humidification, and gas purity.
  • Execute design of experiments for degassing chambers and components at product and process levels.

What we're looking for

  • A bachelor’s degree in a relevant technical field is required.
  • A master’s degree or PhD is preferred.
  • 5+ years of thorough experience is required for candidates with a BS degree.
  • Ability to specify vacuum systems, gas flows, pump-down and vent procedures, and architecture requirements for scanner and test-rig environments.
  • Knowledge of molecular and particle cleanliness, materials compatibility, desorption issues, and contamination troubleshooting.
  • Ability to plan and execute tests and DOEs, perform pressure-drop and flow budgeting, and analyze measurement results.
  • Ability to document standards, procedures, requirements, and test evidence in Technical Product Documentation.
  • Must be legally authorized to access controlled technology as defined by the Export Administration Regulations.
