The ideal candidate brings both technical depth and leadership experience-guiding engineering teams, shaping processes, and driving electrical excellence across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and oversee the design, development, integration, and validation of electrical subsystems supporting nextgeneration semiconductor metrology and inspection systems.

• Architect robust electrical solutions spanning analog, digital, power electronics, motor/actuator control, signal conditioning, and mixedsignal circuitry, with an emphasis on reliability, noise reduction, longterm stability, and manufacturability.

• Guide PCB design and development processes, including schematic oversight, layout optimization, and board bringup, ensuring adherence to signalintegrity, powerdistribution, EMI/EMC, thermal, and global safety standards.

• Integrate multidisciplinary components, including sensors, motors, power supplies, highprecision analog elements, digital controllers, and communication interfaces into cohesive, highperformance systems.

• Partner closely with mechanical, software, systems, and manufacturing teams to deliver wellintegrated and productionready solutions.

• Manage and mentor engineering talent, providing technical leadership, developing best practices, running design reviews, and ensuring alignment with program and organizational goals.

• Drive structured problemsolving, including root cause analyses of complex electrical, power, noise, and integration issues across prototype, pilot, and production phases.

• Establish and enhance engineering processes, contributing to continuous improvement in design methodologies, documentation standards, test practices, and crossteam collaboration.

• Ensure compliance with relevant industry and regulatory requirements (e.g., SEMI, CE, UL) throughout design and manufacturing cycles.

Qualifications

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related field.

• 10+ years of broad electrical engineering experience, ideally in capital equipment or highprecision systems.

• Strong expertise in analog, digital, and power electronics, including grounding, noise mitigation, and signal integrity.

• Experience integrating motors, sensors, power systems, and mixedsignal components into complex platforms.

• Skilled with PCB design and simulation tools (Altium, OrCAD, SPICE, MATLAB, etc.).

• Working knowledge of embedded systems, microcontrollers, or FPGAs.

• Hands-on experience with servo/stepper motors and motion control preferred.

• Proven technical leadership, team mentoring, and crossfunctional collaboration.

• Excellent communication and documentation abilities.

• Ability to travel for manufacturing support, system bringup, or customer interactions.
