Job Description Machine Control Software Systems Engineer Position Background: This machine control software engineer will write software to control wafer handling functions for our ion implanter systems. Ion implanter systems are large complex capital equipment systems used by semiconductor manufacturers. These fully automated systems run 24/7 and are used in the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits. These systems implant ions into silicon wafers by directing an ion beam onto the wafers. Wafer processing rates exceed 500 wafers per hour and must be exceedingly reliable with maximum uptime and an absolute minimum of failures. All wafer handling and processing is done in the end station portion of the system. The end station consists of multiple cassettes for bringing wafer to and from the system, a process chamber in a high vacuum environment, multiple robots in the normal atmosphere environment, multiple robots in the vacuum environment, vacuum load locks,...
