Senior Software & Systems Engineer
About The Position
Step into a rare engineering role where advanced software development meets cutting‑edge semiconductor diagnostics. Youll join a highly specialized team building multi‑million‑dollar instrumentation used by the worlds leading semiconductor manufacturers. These systems integrate laser scanning microscopy , photon emission analysis , precision motion control , and CAD-based device navigation to pinpoint defects at the transistor level—dramatically accelerating silicon debug and improving yield. If youre excited by complex instrumentation, real-time system design, and deep semiconductor physics, this is a career-defining opportunity. As a Senior Software & Systems Engineer , you will architect and build sophisticated control software that powers high‑precision diagnostic tools. Your work spans optics, electronics, device physics, data visualization, and system-level integration.
Requirements
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering , Physics , Semiconductor Device Engineering , or a related discipline.
- 5+ years developing control software for scientific, diagnostic, or semiconductor instrumentation .
- Strong programming skills in C++ , C# , and WPF on Windows environments.
- Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and failure mechanisms.
- Experience with CAD navigation tools (e.g., Synopsys Avalon or similar).
- Software
Nice To Haves
- Hands-on exposure to failure analysis techniques such as TIVA , LIVA , LADA , OBIRCH , or photon emission .
- Experience with laser microscopy or optics-driven instrumentation.
- Familiarity with hardware interfaces such as USB, PCIe, FPGA, RS‑232/485 .
- Background with semiconductor equipment companies and complex multi-domain systems.
- Experience in real‑time data processing and visualization of large scientific datasets.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain software for controlling precision optical, mechanical, and electronic subsystems used in semiconductor failure analysis.
- Transform complex physical diagnostics into intuitive, highly usable software tools in close collaboration with hardware engineers and FA specialists.
- Design fast, responsive control systems that interface with CAD navigation environments for real-time device mapping and transistor-level targeting.
- Build high-performance user interfaces (C#/WPF) to visualize waveforms, emission signatures, images, and device layouts.
- Lead integration across lasers, motion-control stages, optical assemblies, timing electronics, and measurement tools including oscilloscopes and source meters.
- Troubleshoot complex interactions between hardware and software, optimizing performance across the full system.
- Document architectures, workflows, and test plans to ensure long-term reliability and maintainability.
