MKS is looking to solve complex problems in plasma and reactive gas generation for semiconductor cleaning and etching processes by designing firmware for Power electronics.
Requirements
- Must have a record of firmware development from the conceptual stage to the product launch with DSP using C/C++ and/or MATLAB/Simulink.
- Must have demonstrated experience in DSP programming for the design of either of the resonant inverters, boost or buck converters, or single/three phase power factor correction topologies.
- Familiar with common power electronics topologies and their associated digital control (etc. PFC, buck, boost or resonant inverters).
- Familiar with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) model-based testing for validating board level developments to system level state machines.
- Familiar with version control systems.
- Familiar with graphical user interface (GUI) development for hardware testing.
- Ability to use lab tools such as oscilloscopes, power meters, etc.
Responsibilities
- Lead the development of DSP based digital control for power electronics projects that involve a multi-discipline engineering team.
- Lead the development of inter-system communication between the system level elements.
- Perform engineering analysis and implement advanced control algorithms for power converters, RF and microwave systems.
- Develop, document, and execute DVT plans. Report on results and recommend appropriate engineering tradeoffs to optimize functional firmware performance and relative product cost.
- Create, control and archive the firmware development documentation.
- Collaborate with power electronics engineers to integrate firmware to hardware components.
- Participate in cross-functional project teams to execute upon new product developments involving power electronics for plasma generation applications.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering with 5+ years’ experience.
- Advanced degree and 3+ years of direct applicable experience
- Must have solid analytical skills with the ability to simplify and present complicated systems.
- Familiar with semiconductor capital equipment preferred.
- Eligible to work in the United States. However, we will not be sponsoring work visas for this position, at this time.
