Description

Who We Are Enhancing Performance, Productivity and Profitability Physical Electronics USA Inc. (PHI) is a subsidiary of ULVAC-PHI, the world's leading supplier of UHV surface analysis instrumentation. PHI’s innovative XPS, AES, and SIMS technologies provide our customers with unique tools to solve challenging materials problems and accelerate the development of new processes and products. As the only supplier that provides a full range of high performance XPS, AES, and SIMS surface analysis instruments, PHI is in a unique position to provide complete surface analysis solutions to potential clients in a broad range of high technology fields including nanotechnology, microelectronics, storage media, catalysis, biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and basic materials such as metals, polymers, composites and coatings. (For more info go to PHI.com [http://www.phi.com]) //www.phi.com Position Objective: PHI is seeking a senior level digital electronics design engineer who can lead a small design group (5-7 members), coordinate activities with PHI’s contract electronics manufacturing partners, and be a technology leader in the design of custom, mixed signal, control and data acquisition electronics. The role will include hands-on design and prototyping (procure, build, test) of new electronics, personnel supervision, resource planning, and project management responsibilities. The electronics design group also partners with software and systems engineering in integration testing and provides consulting support to the system manufacturing and service organizations. Primary Responsibilities: • Provide technical and supervisory leadership to a small group of mixed signal electronic design engineers and technicians. • Provide leadership in creating and managing strategic partnerships with contract electronics manufacturers. • Translate system level requirements into unit level engineering specifications. Provide development cost and time estimates. • Design, prototype (procure, build, test), document, and support mixed signal electronic controls. • Manage the work assignments of team members; provide project planning input and resource estimates; work with our parent company in Japan (Ulvac PHI) and the PHI R&D management team to create the annual engineering plan. • Maintain technical currency and ensure PHI’s state-of-the-art design capability through self-study, and continuing education. • Partner with other engineering groups in managing system level design, integration testing and documentation. • Provide guidance and support for continuing engineering for the current electronics suite for improvement and reliability. Critical Skills & Knowledge: • Mixed signal electronics design, test & integration * Control and data acquisition/processing * Low noise, medium-high speed analog circuits * Medium-high voltage (200 v to 30 kV) analog circuits • Knowledge of state-of-the-art PCB and chassis level electronics manufacturing technology and processes. • Knowledge of best practice design for manufacturability • Embedded control system design with micro controller use and firmware development (Raspberry Pi, Python, Etc.) • Effective design project leadership: estimating, planning, risk mitigation, execution management • Competency in modern electronic design CAD tools: circuit layout, circuit simulation, firmware development, C-language & Test programing • Management acumen --- demonstrated ability to provide leadership and supervisory oversight of a small, highly technical design engineering team. • Complex hardware/software system level design, test, and debug Position Requirements: • Advanced degree preferred • More than 12 years of experience in design of chassis level, mixed signal control electronics for highly integrated hardware/software products; 15 years of experience preferred. * Experience in the design of capital equipment for applications in scientific research or advanced manufacturing preferred. • Occasional travel to business partner and customer locations, including internationally (
