VAT Vakuumventile AG
Our Team In Haag, Switzerland Is Looking For You
Development Engineer – Automation and Control (100%)
YOUR CHALLENGES
The manufacturing of a high-end microchip requires over 1000 production steps. Vacuum valves and gas flow control devices are considered to be critical components as they are in proximity to the semiconductor wafer and impact the process performance. Semiconductor fabs like Intel, Samsung or TSMC have increasing expectations for 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.
The technological advancements in the semiconductor industry and scaling to nano-meter structures requires high precision and efficient control of the gas pressure in the process chamber. To develop and test the required control technology, we are looking for an experienced engineer with passion for automation and control systems.

Design and build automated test benches for process control using VAT’s gas flow control technology
Development of advanced control algorithms for fast and efficient gas pressure control
Develop, perform and document experiments (DoE) including results in organized and structured way
Cooperate among cross-functional teams of experts within VAT R&D organization and external technology partners
Occasional on-site support of newly developed applications/products at customer site.
YOUR COMPETENCIES
Engineering Degree (MSc or PhD) in mechanical or electrical engineering, control engineering, mechatronics or similar
Strong skills and knowledge in control system theory and automation
3+ years of industry experience in design and implementation of (semi or fully) automated testing setups
Experience with PLC programming, e.g. Beckhoff, Siemens or similar automation software
Programming skills in Matlab Simulink or Python
Work experience in vacuum technology / semiconductors beneficial
Hands on, systematic approach, creative thinker with problem solving skills and team spirit
