SENIOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEER WITH FPGA EXPERIENCE
Overview:
Axcelis is making the technology of the future possible - The continuous drive for smaller, faster, more power efficient electronics requires constant innovation in semiconductor devices and manufacturing methods. Our ion implant technology is a key ingredient in that innovation. We are working to solve some of the industry’s most challenging problems, by bringing together some of the best minds in the industry. This highly visible role will be responsible for driving electrical engineering projects and development of FPGA code.
Responsibilities:
- Serve as the lead electrical engineer and guide less experienced electrical engineers through the product development cycle
- Develop and drive system, subsystem and interface requirements
- Perform feasibility studies and proofs of concept; translate product level requirements into electrical designs
- Conduct analyses, such as circuit, timing, thermal/cooling, AC/DC power design, electrical loads, FPGA modeling, conceptual and detailed design using design tools (i.e. Altium, OrCAD, PSpice, Xilinx/Altera FPGA/CPLD development tools, etc...)
- Conduct design review presentations, create detailed drawings, procure prototype parts, build test systems, conduct prototype testing, and ECO release designs to production
- Development, test and integration of complex electrical components and subsystems (including PCBs, cables, system interconnect)
- Responsible for the development, test and integration of complex FPGA code suitable for ion implantation systems with minimal supervision
- Responsible for documenting requirements; proposing conceptual and detailed FPGA design architecture; FPGA design implementation
- Lead the subsystem integration process collaborating with Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Test Engineering and the R&D organization
- Interact with manufacturing and product support teams to support product transition into production
- Work closely with suppliers to ensure all design requirements are specified and achieved
- Write technical documentation that meets the quality standards for manufacturing and product support
- Execute principles of Concurrent Product Development
- Generate intellectual property
Qualifications:
- Ideal candidate will have 8+ years of industry experience designing high-voltage, low-noise, mixed signal PCBs used in high-end precision equipment
- Strongly prefer experience serving as technical lead on electrical design projects and someone with the ability to lead other electrical engineers
- AC/DC power distribution design
- Controls knowledge (control circuit design including motion controls, thermal modeling/ controls, PID)
- FPGA modeling
- Familiar with software applications and programming, such as MATLAB, Python, C/C++, LabView
- Knowledge of applicable industry standards including SEMI safety compliance
- Ability to work in a cross functional organization
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Must be self-driven and a strong team player
- Travel to customers and suppliers likely 1-2 times per year
