Job Brief

The company is seeking an Advanced Algorithm Developer/Engineer for its software engineering department to lead the development of algorithms for real time control of the processes for fabrication of advanced semiconductors, photonics, and optics devices based on the company’s processing of a multiplicity of materials delivered in liquid, gas, and a combination of both, while the substrate is in continuous movement. The job requires critical thinking to solve computational problems by researching, designing, and testing sequences for the ongoing enhancements to the technology in order to meet the ever-evolving feature miniaturization of the applications in the markets served by the company’s technology, consequently ensuing the high quality of the multidimensional devices fabricated in the nanometer scale. As an algorithm developer, your responsibilities include working to implement your algorithms and then to analyze and modify them as needed. You must first identify the goals and then work to achieve specific results. In this career, you will collaborate with members of the R&D, engineering, process and applications teams to create theories and corresponding algorithms, then perform research and tests until you have designed an efficient algorithm. The key areas of expertise include, but not limited to: algorithms for real time control of fluids in gas and liquid form, nanometer scale stage movements, data sampling, code writing in C++. The successful candidate ideally has expert knowledge in more than one of these areas and has sufficient knowledge and expertise to understand all involved system technologies and effectively work with his cross functional peers.

The position reports to the Head of Software Development in the Product Development department. In this role, you will be responsible for developing, tracking and maintaining the development of algorithms, while creating project plans and executing projects on-time and on budget. This pivot role in the software group will also actively participate in other activities inclusive of R&D, process, and applications.

The Advanced Algorithm Developer/Engineer is expected to be a driver of innovation drawing on input from across the departments that provide technology elements for the industrialization of the company products. As such this also includes the drive toward enhancing the company IP portfolio as defined by the company’s IP executive committee.
