Job Mission:
We are presenting you with a unique and exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and innovative Technology Development team, focused on conceiving and demonstrating the technologies required for next generations of high-power extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources. The EUV source technology development team is responsible for identifying system-level operating points for stable EUV production generated from laser produced plasmas and helps to chart the path to increase EUV power to meet the future needs of the Lithography industry. Based on a laser produced plasma (LPP), our light source relies on a wide range of unique and challenging technologies including laser light amplification, high-power optic systems, plasma generation, as well as process variable sensing, actuation, metrologies and control.
You are invited to bring your passion, knowledge and expertise in areas of applied physics, plasmas, metrology, optics, systems, dynamics, control theory, lasers, and experiment design to push the boundaries of these technologies forward and into the future.
The EUV Source Technology Research team is fully based in San Diego, where the team identifies novel solutions that enable and define the next generation EUV source architecture. Development activities span the full range from concept definition, design, prototyping, and even full-scale performance testing on a complete EUV source system.
The latter allows system-level performance demonstrations and results that can be transferred to the product. Furthermore, the research group interfaces directly with System Engineering and Development and Engineering (D&E) teams to lay out the path forward for future generations of the EUV source. We are looking for people with a background or competency in plasma physics, EUV metrology and spectroscopy, laser-matter interaction, systems, dynamics, control theory, and embedded technology, who are eager to leave their mark on the next generation of EUV product and the future of technology.
Responsibilities:
- Designs EUV performance/ plasma controls experiments at the system/sub-system level.
- Performs the tests, analyzes test results and extracts actionable knowledge from the data.
- Familiar with previous results and able to contextualize new experimental outcomes.
- Breaks down complex problems, identifies knowledge gaps and develops technical strategies and test plans.
- Work independently and in teams to deliver on a stated objective, whether it be the pursuit of new knowledge, the demonstration of a new capability, or the characterization of existing performance
- Leads and/or participates in preliminary and critical design reviews.
- Delivers technical and progress reports and presentations to upper management and internal / external customers.
Education and experience:
- Requires a MS or PhD in either Electrical or Mechanical Engineering with focus on Robotics or Dynamical Systems or Controls or Systems or Physics or other related science disciplines.
- Minimum of 4 years in technical engineering roles.
- Hands-on experience with complex system design and build, characterization, and troubleshooting
- Ability to understand software written in C++ or other object-oriented programming language is highly desired.
- Must be proficient with performing data analysis using Python, Matlab, or other similar tools.
- Skills for creating application software or writing automated test scripts (e.g.: using Python or Matlab) are highly desired.
- Strong understanding and experience on signal processing theory and techniques is highly desired.
- Experience with image processing is a plus.
- Understanding of control theory with educational experience is desired.
- Understanding of scientific research methods and strong curiosity
- Ability to clearly and logically communicate ideas and knowledge to various audiences.
- Familiar with technical aspects of engineering modules with multiple challenging mechanical, material, physical and optical constraints and interfaces.
- Possess a good understanding of lasers, sensors, actuators, mechanics, physics and/or metrology/optic.
