Electrical Engineer

About the Position

We are looking for Junior and Senior Electrical Engineers to join our Operations Engineering team. You will take ownership of the electrical system architecture and power distribution of advanced semiconductor equipment. From high-level system design to detailed implementation, you will shape reliable, compliant, and future-ready systems that enable cutting-edge performance.

You will define system structures, interfaces, and technical requirements - transforming complexity into scalable solutions. Whether selecting and integrating sensors, actuators, and motion components or supporting vacuum, thermal, and process subsystems, you will ensure seamless electrical and software integration across the entire machine.

Beyond technical excellence, you will lead modules, coordinate contributors, mentor engineers, and ensure configuration consistency across releases. Working closely with manufacturing, service, supply chain, and global development teams, you will turn architecture into operational reality.

Your work powers precision, performance, and progress.
