In a nutshell

Introduction to the job

The System Engineer/ System Architect E-beam is expected to define the system model, budgets, and prototype solutions in support of the success of the defined technical roadmaps & products of HMI in the competitive E-Beam metrology & inspection markets.

Create a system model capturing the various error sources impacting the metrology and application performance originating from the e-beam sub-systems (SEM, platform, applications) and the device under-measurement (e.g., patterning error sources). This analysis should include HW and SW error sources. Deliver a budget breakdown and a system simulator from wafer pattern to calculated KPI.

Breakdown product performance KPIs into verifiable function-level KPIs and specifications for inspection and metrology applications. Based on system model and budgets, together with the Functional Architects, define the functional ownership (where a problem should be solved) and the interfaces across functions.

Define a set of representative use-cases that can be used to guide system design. Maintain a repository of test use-cases for system development and benchmarking.

Compare the actual system performance (based on system population data and measured data from actual use-cases) with physical theoretical limits and product requirements to determine performance gaps and room for improvement. Determine the uncertainty in the determined specification values.

Prototype solutions for inspection and metrology applications to close the identified gaps. Look into commonalities across methods for signal extraction from measured images (signal processing, physical models, machine learning, etc.) for inspection and metrology applications. Propose technical solutions (applications, SW, and HW) for the Function and Product roadmaps,development tools and deployment platforms (e.g., cloud-based solutions for system budgeting and solution prototyping, publishing version controlled tooling). Drive standardization of data-interfaces.

Supervise systematic code refactoring with clear roadmaps (like, where to start, use what kind of processes) and quantitative metrics.

Work within a cross-function pathfinder community to watch/gather evolving customer requirements and create a platform to prototype ebeam related applications and products

Signal architecture misalignment and organizes/prepare (4 o’clock) meetings to set direction. Coach the architect team.

Deliverables: System Models, Prototype Designs, Feasibility Reports, product performance specifications and design specifications, input in technology roadmaps.

Prepares technical input to key program decisions for review by senior executives. Manage system engineering deliverables to the product generation process such as identification of key technical risks, system performance projections and status of the development.

Academic level (Master or PhD) in Information technology, Software, Physics, Mathematics or any Technical area

Minimum 3 years of experience in related fields is a plus for candidates, including IC manufacturing, semiconductor process technology, e-beam inspection/metrology, or equivalent experience.

Hands-on experience on semiconductor process or equipment is required
Fast learner with strong self-motivation to grow technically; be able to perform job at high standard with minimum supervision, and demonstrated ability to thrive in a high pressure and fast paced environment.

Working at the cutting edge of tech, you’ll always have new challenges and new problems to solve – and working together is the only way to do that. You won’t work in a silo. Instead, you’ll be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you’ll collaborate with supportive colleagues. There is always space for creative and unique points of view. You’ll have the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and solve problems.
To thrive in this job, you’ll need the following skills:

Communication skills: Able to communicate with counterparts efficiently on project work.
Team work: Good team player to drive product development with stakeholders.
