Sparks, United States Ichor Systems Full time

Essential Duties and Responsibilities - Other duties may be assigned

* Apply engineering principles of fluid and solid mechanics, thermodynamics, mass transfer, kinetics, and control systems to formulate accurate and efficient experiments, interpret their results, and propose or implement effective solutions
* Lead development of gas flow & pressure metrology, including transiently accurate flow measurement and validation, and be able to guide others in experimental setup to achieve evolving goals
* Demonstrate proficiency in rapidly applying first principles to simplify complex problems, creating mathematical first principles models to capture underlying phenomena in a computationally efficient manner, and exercising those models to make sound engineering decisions for early-phase R&D prior to more time-consuming multidimensional modeling.
* Create complex and multidimensional models using industry-standard simulation packages as a follow-on to refine final stages of design; strong experimental data matching and interpretation abilities are required
* Lead development & productization efforts of key flow control mechanical components such as solenoid and piezoelectric valves, successfully navigating existing intellectual property and developing manufacturable and cost-effective designs
* Develop and refine existing and/or new gas delivery components; conduct feasibility studies and testing on new and modified designs
* Develop models independently from concept to completion using sustainable practices; develop and troubleshoot complex simulations and the physical systems they represent and guide peers on usage and interpretation of results
* Ensure that device design, component selection, manufacturability and test methods meet product needs, specifications, and industry standards. Document designs with drawings, specifications, and material lists
* Ensure work is performed in accordance with approved methods of the company and industry best practices
* Manage complex projects independently, with guidance as needed and minimal supervision
* Oversee the work of others within the group and maintain schedule of deliverables
* Coordinate with counterparts in other departments as needed, keeping engineering manager informed
* Perform other duties as assigned by manager such as specifications, material requisitions, checking of calculations and engineering drawings

Desired Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

* Advanced knowledge of mechanical and chemical engineering principles
* Advanced knowledge of design process, ability to apply comprehensive knowledge of engineering concepts, theories, practices, and procedures
* Technical expertise in the development and commercialization of systems used in semiconductor flow delivery
