Senior RF Engineering Manager
About the Role:
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior RF Engineering Manager to lead a team of talented engineers in a dynamic, collaborative environment. In this critical leadership role, you will drive the development of advanced RF power delivery, matching, distribution, filtering, and metrology solutions for cutting-edge plasma processing tools.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing RF engineering team.
- Direct the design, development, testing, and implementation of RF systems and sub-systems (100kHz to 100MHz; Watt to Kilowatt power ranges).
- Oversee the full lifecycle of RF system integration - from component selection and system assembly to validation and troubleshooting.
- Evaluate, qualify, and develop external suppliers, ensuring alignment with our technology roadmaps and quality standards.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product development, manufacturing, and supplier teams to deliver best-in-class plasma deposition solutions.
- Guide root cause analysis, risk mitigation, and performance optimization of RF systems.
- Drive continuous improvement through the use of modeling tools (e.g., SPICE, HFSS, Comsol) and measurement equipment (Power Meters, Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, etc.).
Who You Are:
- Proven leader with direct experience managing technical engineering teams.
- Deep technical expertise in RF power delivery systems design, testing, and documentation.
- Proficient in complex RF measurements and diagnostics, including impedance matching, spectrum analysis, and metrology.
- Familiar with high voltage (>1kV) design rules and best practices across DC - 1000MHz frequency ranges.
- Hands-on experience with simulation and modeling tools such as SPICE, LabView, MathCAD, MatLab, HFSS, Comsol, or Microwave Studio.
- Knowledge of plasma processing technology, plasma sources, and plasma load behavior strongly preferred.
- Exceptional communication, leadership, and presentation skills.
- Analytical thinker with strong troubleshooting abilities and a commitment to technical excellence.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, with 15+ years of relevant experience.
- Master's degree or Ph.D. strongly preferred and may substitute for some experience.
Why Join Us:
You'll have the opportunity to lead impactful RF engineering initiatives at the forefront of semiconductor innovation, collaborate with industry-leading experts, and contribute to the next generation of plasma processing technologies.
