Introduction to Job
We are looking for a Systems Design Functional Architect acting in the role of Tin Management Function Architect, with flow emphasis. The objective is to identify technologies and design concepts that can be developed to address undesired tin debris using flow schemes, and partner with Project Management to ensure delivery of robust product flow and mechanical solutions. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual with a broad technical background, excellent communication skills, and ability to influence others. As a functional architect with flow background, you will work with a team of highly professional engineers and scientists with diverse academic backgrounds and many years of experience. Your job is to provide technical leadership to the team to deliver practical mechanical and flow solutions to enable this complex function.
Laser-Produced Plasma EUV is generated by firing high energy laser pulses at tin droplet targets at kilohertz repetition rates. The resulting plasma pulses create both desired EUV light, and undesired Tin debris in the form of ballistic particulates and atomic vapor. If unabated, the Tin debris will coat all surfaces in the vessel, including optical components, impacting the transmission of EUV and Laser light.
Role and responsibilities
- Develops the function (HW, SW, Flow) roadmap, requirements, specifications, architecture, and technology development needs for Tin Management in the EUV Source using flow mitigations, which are required to improve optics lifetime, and overall system availability.
- Own and be the technical leader for the vessel flows and required hardware related to tin mitigation. Confer with CFD analysts and use flow knowledge and intuition to convince high level stakeholders of the right technical program direction.
- Identifies concepts that can address flow, thermal, and mechanical performance gaps; assesses technology maturity and defines the development and engineering work breakdown for execution by cross-functional teams of seasoned scientists and engineers.
- Works with competence experts to develop and validate a model for Tin loading in the EUV Source vessel, which can be used to predict performance and issues, and drive the development roadmap.
- Leads architecture and prototyping definition; works with cross-functional teams of mechanical engineers, materials scientists, electrical and software engineers to develop solutions to roadmap.
- Develops and maintains the specification document tree; writes and/or reviews key specification and design documentation, coordinates key reviews with Systems Engineering and Project Stakeholders to ensure functional specifications are aligned to system requirements.
- Identifies and engages third parties for development of technology solutions; Creates Statements of Work (SOWs) to define phased deliverables for budgeting and project management.
- Defines Test Protocols; analyzes test data; makes recommendations based on test results for design changes and operational changes to deliver improved performance of sub-modules.
- Assesses technology and project risks and defines risk mitigation strategies and approaches with the project leadership team.
- Mentors, coaches and oversees the activity of more junior Architects in the Function and Competence organizations.
Education and experience
- MS or Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics or related technical discipline
- 8+ years of experience in a technical leadership role
- Experience with experimental fluid mechanics or heat transfer.
- Interpretation and application of CFD results to guide hardware and process optimization.
- Familiarity with heat transfer analysis and methodologies.
- Familiarity with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling, including mesh generation, CFD processing, and post-processing analysis.
- Experience with materials in extreme environments and interactions with liquid metals (desired but not necessary).
- Experience with thermal and gas flow elements of process chamber design.
- Previous role(s) in Technology, Process and/or Engineering Design of Semiconductor processing equipment a strong plus.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to translate, statistically analyze data, and effectively report problems through written and/or graphical formats.
- Excellent customer service skills, with an advanced understanding of customer relationship building.
- Ability to carry a product design from conception into production.
- Project Engineering experience including leading small technical teams is desirable.
- Ability to cross functional boundaries to build relationships with all areas in the company, to understand and reconcile higher level company and customer needs.
