Job Title: Product Development Engineer
Location: Milpitas, CA
Duration: Fulltime
Job Description:
Business Unit:
The Surfscan-ADE division of KLA-Tencor is an industry leading supplier of wafer inspection and metrology systems. Wafer suppliers and device manufacturers worldwide rely on our measurement and inspection systems to certify and ensure the highest quality bare silicon substrates. Semiconductor device yields begin with the bare wafer, and our leading technology provides early insight into surface defect, shape, flatness and nano topography of these advanced 300mm substrates. Our optical inspection and metrology tools will support the next several generations of wafer and IC manufacturing.
Responsibilities:
Work in an engineering team of scientists, system, mechanical and software engineers to develop the next generation wafer-geometry metrology products. Job duties include but not limit to 1) work with senior System Design Engineer to develop metrology system and subsystem specifications.
2) participate in design, develop, modify and evaluate the data acquisition and motion control electronic and pneumatic systems.
3) evaluate the current architecture and improve the critical design parameters to improve the system performance and reliability.
4) document design, testing and diagnosis procedures to transfer the design to manufacturing.
5) Support the production and field service.
Preferred Qualifications:
MS degree with 3-5 experience or PhD in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
1.The successful candidate must have hands-on experiences related to optical, opto-mechanical systems, data acquisition, motion control hardware and firmware.
2.Must be familiar with interferometer principles, phase-shifting technology, and image processing algorithms.
3.Hands-on experience in large aperture optical interferometer and in surface metrology tools for characterizing nanotopography of semiconductor wafers is highly desirable.
4.Familiar with SW tools such as Matlab, JMP. Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills are required.
5.Experience in tunable lasers and fiber-optics illumination systems is a plus.
6.Good writing and verbal communication skills and ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment are essential.
