The Plasma Lab Engineer supports engineering activities by specifying, installing and maintaining the lab infrastructure to support a small semiconductor plasma processing facility. This includes toxic gas handling. Will also perform testing of plasma processing systems.
Responsibilities:
- Works from diagrams, written and verbal descriptions, layouts or schematics to build and maintain vacuum equipment to handle semiconductor and toxic gas processing. Perform testing and trouble-shooting.
- Performs operational test and fault isolation on systems and equipment. Assists in determining methods or actions to remedy malfunctions.
- Assists in the design, construction, test, and calibration of equipment.
- Ensure proper function of vacuum pumps, gas handling and storage, gas scrubbing, pressure measurement and gas delivery systems.
- Ability to acquire and specify vacuum processing equipment, working with vendors to achieve cost-effective solutions for pumps, scrubbers, piping, MFC's, valving, pressure measurement and safety systems.
- Familiar with local regulations on toxic gas handling.
- Hands-on ability to build, test and maintain equipment.
- Perform plasma processing experiments in support of engineering needs.
- Perform scripting and/or programming of vacuum processing control systems.
- Performs support functions for development including documentation and procurement.
- Work with other engineering teams in Asia and the US.
Experience & Skillsets:
- Bachelor in Engineering
- Must have strong electro-mechanical problem-solving attributes.
- Able to operate and maintain a variety of electrical and vacuum process instrumentation such as MFC's, controllers, pressure gauges, valving, toxic gas monitoring, pumping systems, oscilloscopes, leak checking.
