Job's mission
Software Engineers design and develop control software for advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The integrated position covers PEALD/PECVD/EPI product software, Process Module Controller (PMC), Cluster Tool Controller (CTC), and Transfer Module Controller (TMC) domains. Depending on technical strengths, experience, interests, and business needs, engineers may work on equipment control, wafer scheduling and flow, wafer-handling platforms, device communication, operator interfaces, software verification, and site issue resolution
What you will be working on
- Design, implement, test, and maintain semiconductor equipment control software using C# and C++.
- Develop software for PEALD/PECVD/EPI products, process modules, cluster tool scheduling, and wafer-handling platforms.
- Develop scheduler logic, wafer-flow management functions, unit-level operations, and interfaces integrated with higher-level control systems.
- Develop WPF- or WinForms-based user interfaces for equipment monitoring and control.
- Develop and integrate equipment drivers and communication interfaces using DeviceNet, EtherCAT, TCP/IP, Serial, RS-232, and RS-485.
- Validate software using simulators, demo equipment, and production-representative systems; support software updates, upgrades, and functional verification.
- Analyze software defects, scheduling conflicts, runtime issues, and customer/manufacturing-site problems through troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
- Create and maintain software requirements, design information, test evidence, and technical documentation.
- Collaborate with hardware, process engineering, QA, customer support, and global engineering teams.
What we are looking for
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer/Electrical/Electronic/Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
- 5+ years of relevant work experience
- Strong object-oriented programming skills in C# and/or C++ and experience delivering production software.
- Experience with Windows-based software development such as .NET, MFC, WPF, or WinForms.
- Experience with multithreading, multi-process architectures, IPC, or mathematics-based algorithm development.
- Demonstrated troubleshooting, bug tracking, root-cause analysis, ownership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Written and verbal English communication skills and no restrictions on overseas business travel.
What sets you apart
- Experience developing semiconductor or display equipment software in fab or production-equipment environments.
- Experience with equipment control, wafer scheduling, wafer-flow management, EFEM/WHC, wafer-handling robots, motors, pressure, temperature, or motion-control systems.
- Experience developing interfaces using EtherCAT, DeviceNet, TCP/IP, RS-232, or RS-485.
- Familiarity with TwinCAT, PLC Structured Text, real-time controllers, or automatic control theory.
- Knowledge of SEMI standards such as GEM300, E40, or E94.
- Experience with Visual Studio, Git/GitLab, Jira, and Confluence.
