Modeling Engineer 3

• Developing physics-based models for Thermal/CFD/Chemistry applications for components in semiconductor capital equipment industry. Experience in commercial software like ANSYS Fluent, Star CCM , or COMSOL, etc., is highly desirable.
• Data driven modeling - Juncture of physics-based modeling with data-driven, AI/ML methods:
• Developing methods for translating tool operational data into improved engineering designs
• Utilizing DOE, Optimization, and statistical methods to correlate Simulation data to experimental data.
• Stochastic optimizationtools to bridge between simulation and experiments.
• Predict, measure, and analyze the experimental data of mechanical designs, process specification and software programs for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
• Uncertainty Quantification & propagation, sensitivity analysis, statistical inference for model calibration, decision making under uncertainty.

• Multi-scale modeling from nano, meso to macro levels
• Provide design improvements of in-service tools based upon quantitative field measured failure data and less quantitative quality metrics as measured by Lam Research.
• Use advance statistical, probabilistic, and forecasting methods to best quantify design and performance of overall system.
• Provide written reports and oral presentation of results to design teams and management.
• Work directly with mechanical, electrical, process and software engineers to define design requirements, goals and objectives of design, CIP, testing and simulation plans.
• Leading and conducting design reviews in cross functional and matrixed environments.
• Strong written and oral communication. Self-starter to start own initiatives and projects for continuous improvement in capabilities and design.

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering or closely related field with strong emphasis in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Heat transfer, or related fields.
• Strong ability and understanding of AI/ML concepts and hybrid physics-based AI/ML modeling software.
• Coding ability to supplement commercial software for specific applications as needs arise.
• Ability to work within a team to own and design concepts and drive design decisions.

• Preferred knowledge of chemistry, semiconductor deposition sciences, PECVD, ALD, CVD, and employing sensors and hardware designs in a vacuum environment is also a plus.
• Established skills in building ML/DL/AI models using simulation data.
• Experience with machine learning algorithms and tools (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit Learn etc.) and deep learning.
• General understanding of uncertainty quantification, Bayesian optimization and probabilistic machine learning.

We believe it is important for every person to feel valued, included, and empowered to achieve their full potential. By bringing unique individuals and viewpoints together, we achieve extraordinary results.
