Job description

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the design, development, and testing of radio-frequency components for the semiconductor capital equipment industry. These components can include high-power generators, matching networks, filters, or other tuning elements.

• Coordinate with other team members to resolve issues with radio-frequency equipment in the laboratory and in the field.

• Work with vendors to develop design requirements and ensure delivery of parts that meet specifications.

• Create test plans and reports that support the evaluation of radio-frequency components. To accomplish these tasks the candidate will need to understand the principles and operation of network analyzers, oscilloscopes, power meters, directional couplers, and other radio-frequency test equipment.The candidate must also understand circuit theory to develop analytical models of radio-frequency components. These models are used to determine the capabilities and limitations of radio-frequency equipment.

• Assemble or modify radio-frequency components to modify their performance or enable access for instrumentation.

Requirements

• Relevant engineering education qualification especially in Electrical or Materials Engineering.

• Have a thorough knowledge of plasma generated by radio-frequencies, both capacitively coupled and inductively coupled.

• Understanding of plasma sheath formation and dynamics, basic plasma parameters (Debye length, plasma frequency, collision frequency, mean free path length, etc.), and the electromagnetic properties of plasmas.

• Familiarity with the principles and operation of plasma diagnostic equipment such as Langmuir probes, optical emission spectrometers, and ion energy analyzers is desirable.
