The role is a major contributor in research and development efforts designing, building, and integrating components and controls for thin-film deposition equipment based on novel CVD processes, and will require direct interaction with our components, systems, and automation software engineering group. In addition, the engineer will support application specific projects demonstrating the equipment capabilities, and exploring new engineering principles for thin-film applications.

ULTRA t Equipment Company, Inc. develops, manufactures, and markets process equipment to the microelectronics industry. For further information, please visit www.ultrat.com.

ULTRA t Equipment Company is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join our research and development team focused on the design, build, integration, and testing of advanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) equipment. This is a hands-on engineering role and not a management position.
The successful candidate will play a key role in developing next-generation thin-film deposition systems for the microelectronics industry. Working closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers, you will help design innovative equipment, integrate advanced controls and components, support customer-specific applications, and contribute to the development of novel thin-film technologies.

Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, build, and test advanced CVD thin-film deposition equipment and systems.
Develop and integrate electrical controls, PLC systems, and automation solutions.
Design and support PCB development from schematic through manufacturing.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams on equipment development and system integration.
Support application-specific projects, equipment demonstrations, and R&D initiatives.
Analyze, troubleshoot, and optimize deposition processes, vacuum systems, and equipment performance.
Document technical findings through reports, presentations, and publications.

Required Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering/science field (advanced degree preferred).
Minimum 5 years of professional experience working with CVD thin-film deposition equipment.
Hands-on experience with plasma-enhanced, laser-enhanced, or other energy-enhanced CVD processes.
Experience designing, building, and operating thin-film deposition equipment and vacuum systems.
PLC design and integration experience.
Experience with full-cycle PCB design, including schematics, layout, fabrication, and testing.
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
Ability to provide examples of technical reports, publications, presentations, or similar documentation demonstrating relevant expertise.

Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with any of the following is highly desirable:
Laser systems, optics, and laser applications
SolidWorks Electrical and CAD design
Microelectronics or semiconductor equipment development
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Cleanroom environments
Photochemistry and chemical characterization
Design of Experiments (DOE) and data analysis
Project management
Industry standards such as SEMI, CE, and UL
Technical presentations, publications, or customer-facing engineering support

Benefits & Compensation:
ULTRA t Equipment Company offers a competitive compensation and benefits package. Specific details regarding salary, benefits, and additional employment offerings will be discussed with qualified candidates during the interview process.

Additional Opportunity:
If this position is not the ideal fit for your background, ULTRA t Equipment Company is also seeking a Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer and a Senior R&D Chemical Engineer. Candidates with relevant experience in thin-film deposition systems, semiconductor equipment, materials science, or related fields may be considered for either role based on qualifications, experience, and interests.
