Our team in Haag, Switzerland is looking for you:
Development Engineer – Automation and Control (100%)
YOUR CHALLENGES
The manufacturing of a high-end microchip requires over 1000 production steps. Vacuum valves and gas flow control
devices are considered to be critical components as they are in proximity to the semiconductor wafer and impact the
process performance. Semiconductor fabs like Intel, Samsung or TSMC have increasing expectations for productivity and
production yield. These fabs are increasingly using data generated along the manufacturing process to improve
production performance. Smart, connected vacuum components are required for smart semiconductor manufacturing fabs
enabling predictive maintenance, increasing performance and productivity.
The technological advancements in the semiconductor industry and scaling to nano-meter structures requires high
precision and efficient control of the gas pressure in the process chamber. To develop and test the required control
technology, we are looking for an experienced engineer with passion for automation and control systems.
In addition your responsibilities are:
- Design and build automated test benches for process control using VAT’s gas flow control technology
- Development of advanced control algorithms for fast and efficient gas pressure control
- Develop, perform and document experiments (DoE) including results in organized and structured way
- Cooperate among cross-functional teams of experts within VAT R&D organization and external technology partners
- Occasional on-site support of newly developed applications/products at customer site.
YOUR COMPETENCIES
- Engineering Degree (MSc or PhD) in mechanical or electrical engineering, control engineering, mechatronics or similar
- Strong skills and knowledge in control system theory and automation
- 3+ years of industry experience in design and implementation of (semi or fully) automated testing setups
- Experience with PLC programming, e.g. Beckhoff, Siemens or similar automation software
- Programming skills in Matlab Simulink or Python
- Work experience in vacuum technology / semiconductors beneficial
- Hands on, systematic approach, creative thinker with problem solving skills and team spirit
Interested? Then we look forward receiving your online application.
You can expect a dynamic and successful company where innovation, courage, fairness, openness and transparency are
encouraged and your ideas are welcome. We offer flexible options for hybrid working. Your development according to your
strengths and aspirations in your career is of great importance to us.
