Stellenbezeichnung Development Engineer - Advanced sensing

BE GREAT TOGETHER WITH US.

Innovation, Efficiency and Ambition : this is what VAT has stood for over 50 years.

With this passion, VAT has grown to become the leading international developer, manufacturer and supplier of high-performance high-end vacuum valves and vacuum sealing technology, employing over 2000 people worldwide. The headquarters are located in Haag (Switzerland), the production centers in Switzerland, Malaysia, Romania and Taiwan.

YOUR CHALLENGES

The manufacturing of a high-end microchip requires over 1000 production steps. Vacuum valves are considered to be a critical component as they are in proximity to the semiconductor wafer and have impact on the process performance. Semiconductor fabs like Intel, Samsung or TSMC have increasing expectations to productivity and production yield. These fabs are increasingly using data generated along the manufacturing process to improve production performance. Smart, connected vacuum components are required for smart semiconductor manufacturing fabs enabling predictive maintenance, increasing performance and productivity. To develop the required smart valve technology we are looking for an experienced development engineer with passion for sensors and vacuum technology. In addition your responsibilities are :

• Development and characterization of sensors for novel gas flow delivery and process control technology
• Assessment of gas sensing technologies, practically and theoretically
• Set up and functional validation of prototypes of individual sensors, hybrid combinations and gas control systems
• Assembly and maintenance of experimental setups, including automated data collection
• Develop, perform and document experiments (DoE) including results in organized and structured way
• Cooperation with technology partners and universities
