$73,000 - $159,000 USD yearly
Develop equipment used to deposit thin metal films across deposition product subsystems.
Originally posted 10 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This Electrical Engineering position reports to the Deposition Product Group to develop equipment used to deposit thin metal films. Electrical Engineers design equipment involving heater control, pressure control, 3-phase and DC power delivery, cable harness development, analog and digital control, EtherCAT, and embedded controls.
What you'll do
- Design and develop equipment from initial concept through customer acceptance, covering 50% system integration, 20% power and distribution, 20% controls, and 10% sustaining engineering.
- Create hardware and systems for R&D activities, analyze designs via circuit analysis and bench testing, and perform Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEAs).
- Organize, participate in, and lead design reviews while conducting feasibility studies with documented test plans.
- Collaborate with software teams to meet functional requirements and work with suppliers on detailed design, prototype fabrication, and test verification.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 2+ years of experience, or an advanced degree, or equivalent work experience.
- Hands-on experience in electronic circuit design (analog and digital), signal and controls theory, board design, troubleshooting, and validation.
- Solid understanding of AC/DC power distribution systems, electrical architecture, and system integration.
- Working knowledge in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and low voltage circuit design for power and control applications.
- Experience with CAD tools for circuit design and simulation such as PCAD, ORCAD, ZUKEN, AutoCAD, Spice, ADS, or HFSS.
Nice to have
- Experience with semiconductor capital equipment, high voltage power supply design, and industrial electronics.
- Hands-on experience with Zuken E3, sensors, actuators, and field buses including Ethernet, RS232, and EtherCAT.
- Knowledge of electrical standards such as UL, CE, IEC, SEMI, and NEC.
- System troubleshooting proficiency using network sniffers, protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, and tool logs, along with problem-solving methodologies like 5-why and 8D.

How we counted: 3963 open Semiconductor Equipment Engineering (Manufacturing Equipment) roles from 87 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Process, Fab & Equipment family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
