Electrical and Controls Lead

PhantaField; Santa Clara (CA); In loco; USD 125.000 - 190.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

PhantaField is seeking an Electrical & Controls Engineer to own the safety PLC, recipes, and host software for its 300 mm growth tool. You will ensure ISO 13849 validation, adapt electrical designs to US standards, and develop the recipe interlock system and data interfaces.

You will work on SECS/GEM integration, data pipelines, and tooling protection, reporting to the CEO in a fast-paced, IP-driven environment.

Competenze

• 6+ years of electrical and controls engineering on semiconductor equipment.
• Knowledge of safety PLCs and industrial safety standards (ISO 13849, IEC 60204-1).
• Experience with host software in C#, C++ or Python.
• Familiarity with SECS/GEM standards and semiconductor equipment tooling.

Mansioni

• Own safety PLC, recipes and host software on the growth tool.
• Validate safety-PLC design with ISO 13849 and SISTEMA reviews.
• Adapt electrical design to US facility power, NFPA 79 and UL compliance.
• Build recipe management, interlock matrix and alarm handling.
• Specify and integrate a SECS/GEM/GEM300 driver and data interfaces.

Descrizione del lavoro

Own the safety PLC, recipes and host software on a 300 mm growth tool

About us

NanoGalaxy is PhantaField's growth tool. It uses pulsed-plasma MOCVD (PP-MOCVD) and is designed to grow 2D semiconductors such as MoS2 on 300 mm wafers below about 450 °C, so that new layers can be grown on top of chips that are already finished. We designed and ran an 8-inch research reactor with a university partner, and we have designed the 300 mm system. Measured results so far include MoS2 transistors and a capacitor-less 2T0C memory cell that holds data past 1,000 seconds. Prof. Chenming Hu, co-inventor of the FinFET, was our first investor and advises us.

The role

You will own everything electrical and in software on the tool: the safety logic, recipe and interlock software, host software and the data that comes off the tool. The safety-PLC design exists and has to be validated before any toxic gas flows. The recipe and interlock software is IP we keep, so we want it written by someone on our team. You report to the CEO.

What you'll do

SAFETY Take the safety-PLC design through ISO 13849 validation, with a SISTEMA review and proof tests, before the first toxic-gas run.

ELECTRICAL Adapt the electrical design to US facility power, NFPA 79 and UL, and own the schematics and electrical BOM.

RECIPES Build recipe management, the interlock matrix and alarm handling.

FAB LINK Specify and integrate a bought SECS/GEM and GEM300 driver.

DATA Close the heater-zone loops on the IR camera, bring in endpoint signals, and build the SPC data pipeline.

What we're looking for

• 6+ years of electrical and controls engineering on semiconductor equipment
• TwinCAT, EtherCAT and TwinSAFE, or an equivalent safety PLC
• Applied ISO 13849 and IEC 60204-1 on a machine that shipped
• Host software in C#, C++ or Python
• SEMI S2 and S8 electrical requirements
• Comfortable debugging at the tool, from wiring to code

Nice to have

• SECS/GEM
• EPLAN
• Vacuum, plasma or heated-chamber tools such as MOCVD, PECVD or PVD
• Machine learning for fault detection on equipment data

Why PhantaField

The safety and recipe code you write is what lets the tool run toxic gases at all, and it stays company IP. You own the stack from the panel to the SPC chart, with no layer handed off to another team.

PhantaField is an equal opportunity employer. This role involves technology subject to U.S. export controls. Employment may depend on obtaining any required U.S. government authorization.
