Job description

Responsibilities

• Developing physics-based models for Thermal/CFD/Chemistry applications for components in semiconductor capital equipment industry. Experience in commercial software like ANSYS Fluent, Star CCM+, or COMSOL, etc., is highly desirable.
• Strong ability in closed-form solutions and analytical methods development and understanding fundamentals in fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
• Utilizing DOE, optimization, and statistical methods and data-driven modeling to correlate simulation data to experimental data.
• Provide design improvements of in-service tools based upon quantitative field-measured failure data and less quantitative quality metrics as measured by Lam Research.
• Provide written reports and oral presentation of results to design teams and management.
• Work directly with mechanical, electrical, process and software engineers to define design requirements, goals and objectives of design, CIP, testing and simulation plans.
• Strong written and oral communication. Self-starter to start own initiatives and projects for continuous improvement in capabilities and design.
• Work in a highly dynamic and rapidly changing environment within a team of interdisciplinary experts driving to solutions to the most challenging business needs.

Who We’re Looking For

• Minimum Master’s degree in Mechanical/Chemical Engineering with 10+ years of experience; or a PhD with 5+ years experience; or equivalent experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Heat transfer, or related fields in a related industry, e.g., semiconductor, gas turbine, aerospace, automotive, etc.
• Ability to work with a team to drive product development and design decisions. Propose design concepts and own decisions.
• Strong ability and understanding of AI/ML concepts and hybrid physics-based AI/ML modeling software. Building and maintaining codes of AI/ML models with either simulation or test data. Experience with machine learning algorithms and tools (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit Learn etc.) and deep learning.
• Coding ability to supplement commercial software for specific applications as needs arise.
• Knowledge of chemistry, semiconductor metrology methods, and hardware designs in a vacuum environment is also a plus.
• General understanding of uncertainty quantification, Bayesian optimization and probabilistic machine learning is required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to effectively communicate and build relationships to interact, inform, influence, and communicate with key stakeholders at all levels across the company.
• Strong critical thinking skills demonstrated through problem-solving, attention to detail and innovation.
• Strong analytical skills demonstrated through First Principles Thinking, statistical analysis and physics-based insights.
