RF Engineer – RF Power & Plasma Systems

Onsite role at Fremont CA, regular shift - 8 AM-5 PM

The impact you’ll make
As a RF Engineer, you play a crucial role in designing, building, and troubleshooting cutting-edge radio frequency (RF) solutions for power delivery and plasma generation in our Etch and Deposition products. You specialize in utilizing RF as a power source and creating innovative generator designs. Your work paves the way for new power sources to be used wafer fabrication equipment.

What you’ll do
The RF EE designs, develops, modifies, and evaluates electronic parts, components or integrated circuitry for electronic equipment, or other hardware systems and/or electrical engineering applications. Determines design approaches and parameters. Analyzes equipment to establish operating data, conducts experimental tests and evaluates results. Selects components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability. May also review vendor capability to support product development.

Duties:
You will be responsible for performing professional electrical engineering research, design, development, modification, and evaluation in support of electrical and electro-mechanical systems/subsystems.
You will work with a multidisciplinary engineering design team: electrical, mechanical, software, process, technical support, and suppliers, on the design, modification, of custom and OEM embedded systems components.
You will need to prepare and analyze test plans and procedures to assure that technical and operational requirements are met and properly demonstrated.
You will be responsible for the collection and analysis of pertinent material and data in preparation of your presentation at design, project, and program reviews

Skills:
Primarily responsible for design/selection, testing and documentation of RF delivery systems (100kHz to 100MHz; Watt to Kilowatt ranges).
Must have experience with complex RF measurement equipment (Power Meters, Network-, Impedance- and Spectrum Analyzers, etc.).
Familiarity with high voltage (>1kV) design rules/practices DC – 100MHz is also desired.
SPICE, LabView, MathCAD or MatLab, and analysis tools (i.e. – HFSS, Comsol, Microwave Studio) experience preferred.
Experience in or fundamental knowledge of plasma processing, plasma sources and plasma loads is a plus.
Ability to drive functional requirements and execute in a dynamic-teams environment
Minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree or 3 years and a Master’s degree.
