UST is searching for a System-Level Engineering with strong fundamentals in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and gas flow systems.

The Opportunity

Lead system-level design, analysis, and troubleshooting of etching and chemical/gas delivery systems across multiple business units
Identify root causes of complex field issues such as flow instability, contamination, and pressure transients
Drive system-level corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives
Develop and validate system-level models including analytical, CFD, and digital twin approaches to predict flow, thermal, and contamination behavior
Define system architecture requirements and drive alignment across component suppliers and internal teams
Define, coordinate, and execute system-level and component-level test plans on COE lab test stands
Analyze test data and generate detailed engineering reports to support qualification, reliability, and supplier resolution
Drive correlation between lab testing, simulation models, and field performance
Design and modify mechanical layouts, gas panel schematics, and subsystem architectures for new and existing platforms
Develop specifications for critical flow control components including MFCs, FRCs, MFVs, valves, and regulators
Support design for reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability across chemical delivery subsystems
Drive development and deployment of AI-based tools for troubleshooting, knowledge management, and component selection
Partner with software and data teams to structure engineering knowledge for AI applications including knowledge agents and workflow automation
Identify opportunities to leverage AI and digital twin technology to reduce field escalations and accelerate root-cause analysis
Act as COE technical interface to Business Units, Systems COE, and suppliers
Lead system-level engineering discussions and drive resolution of cross-functional issues
Build consensus across stakeholders and align on roadmap priorities
Define and manage mechanical and functional specifications for key suppliers
Support supplier qualification, reliability activities, and change control processes including ECR, SPS, and SNF
Evaluate new technologies and drive roadmap alignment for next-generation flow control solutions
Coach colleagues with less experience and may lead small projects with manageable risks and resource requirements

This position description identifies the responsibilities and tasks typically associated with the performance of the position. Other relevant essential functions may be required.

What You Need

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
5–7 years of experience in mechanical and system engineering development
Proven experience with system-level problem solving beyond component-level design
Hands-on experience with lab testing, data analysis, and engineering report generation
Proficiency in CAD tools and engineering documentation including GD&T, drawings, and specifications
Experience in semiconductor equipment, chemical delivery systems, or gas handling systems
Knowledge of flow control devices including MFCs, FRCs, valves, regulators, and pressure/flow interactions
Experience with system modeling tools such as CFD, MATLAB, Python, or equivalent
Familiarity with AI/ML applications in engineering including data analysis, automation, and knowledge systems
Experience working across cross-functional teams and multiple business units
Exposure to digital twin, system simulation, or model-based engineering approaches
Complex problem-solving skills with ability to take new perspectives on existing solutions
Strong analytical capabilities and sound judgment based on multiple information sources
Ability to explain difficult or sensitive information clearly and work to build consensus
Leadership capabilities and resourcefulness in supporting colleagues with less experience
Experience with design for reliability (DfR), manufacturability (DfM), and serviceability (DfS)
