Innovation, Efficiency and Ambition - this is what VAT has stood for over 50 years.
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, and production centers in Switzerland, Malaysia, Romania and Taiwan.
We are looking for a talented engineer to join our team in Haag, Switzerland:
The manufacturing of a high-end microchip requires over 1000 production steps. Vacuum valves are critical components, situated near the semiconductor wafer and impacting process performance.
Semiconductor fabs like Intel, Samsung or TSMC have increasing expectations for productivity and production yield. They use data generated along the manufacturing process to improve production performance.
Smart, connected vacuum components are required for smart semiconductor manufacturing fabs, enabling predictive maintenance, increased performance and productivity.
The technological advancements in the semiconductor industry and scaling to nano-meter structures require high precision and efficient control of gas pressure in the process chamber.
To develop the required control technology, we need an experienced engineer with passion for control theory and system modelling.
Your Challenges:
* Develop novel and highly differentiated process control algorithms based on nonlinear control & machine learning methods for fast processes using VAT's existing gas delivery and process control technology
* Technical project leadership: Define and align specifications with key stakeholders, create concepts, develop and test in rapid prototyping systems and verify functionality using final products
* Develop, perform and document experiments (DoE) including results in an organized and structured way
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams of experts within VAT R&D and external technology partners
* Occasional on-site support of newly developed applications/products at customer sites
Your Competencies:
* Engineering Degree (MSc or PhD) in mechanical or electrical engineering, control engineering, mechatronics or similar
* 3+ years' experience in developing advanced control algorithms for industrial applications and their modelling using Matlab Simulink is necessary
* Practical experience with deploying control systems on actual hardware is also required
* Practical experience with C/C++ coding is desired
* Familiarity with fluid dynamics and vacuum systems is advantageous
* Hands-on, systematic approach, creative thinker with problem-solving skills and team spirit
