Applied Materials (AMAT) is the market leader in plant engineering for the semiconductor and display industries, based in Silicon Valley.

Within Applied Materials DFT business unit, the 'Yield Technology Group' (YTG) develops and produces high-precision electron optical devices (electron microscopes) and advanced test systems utilizing e-beam technology for the display and adjacent semiconductor industry.

YTG is working in an internationally networked setup, with system platform design and e-beam technology development being aligned between multiple development sites located in Germany, Taiwan, and India, and with its manufacturing located in Taiwan and Germany (but with a global sourcing approach), to best serve our customers located in Asia, the USA and Europe.

For our Taiwan engineering team, we are looking for a professional in electrical engineering, to expand our development department in Tainan. In close cooperation with our international development teams, you will design the system hardware control components (PLC control, e.g., Beckhoff TwinCAT & TwinSafe) and system power distribution units required to run and operate the system, to ensure its safety, compliance to standards, its reliability and overall performance.

Tasks

- Develop and implement electrical designs for existing and future YTG systems using a data-based E-CAD System (e.g., Zuken E3S), following AMAT design standards and complying to international certification standards (SEMI S2, UL, NFPA).
- Implement state-of-the-art E-design solutions by using current industry standards wherever possible (e.g., Beckhoff PLC, TwinCAT and TwinSafe)
- Specify and manage E-design projects from draft to implementation, work with external suppliers to achieve the project goals as planned. Be involved in testing and validation of newly developed control systems and control architectures.
- Work in close cooperation with a team of physicists, designers, and system engineers worldwide.
- Connect with our internal customers in USA, Europe, Asia; willingness to travel occasionally.

Training

- University degree (university, university of applied sciences) in electrical engineering or a comparable field of study

Requirement

- Design and development of power distribution and digital control electronics
- Good understanding of automation and electro-mechanical process control mechanisms (e.g. motor/drive controls, pneumatics etc.)
- Implementation of IEC, SEMI and UL standards
