Automation / Controls Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job posting. Key sections: - Introduction to the job: description about EUV Source team, Plasma 600W Department. Could be "About the role" or "Introduction". Use

About the role

with paragraph(s). - Role and responsibilities: list of duties. Use

Responsibilities

with

• ... each bullet. - Algorithms and Controls Specific: seems like additional responsibilities focusing on algorithms. Could be part of Responsibilities or separate section like "Algorithms and Controls". Might be considered part of responsibilities. But we can include as separate heading if content specific. However guidelines: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine under Responsibilities. - Education and experience: qualifications. Use

  Qualifications

  or

  Education and experience

  . Use list. - Skills: list. - Other Information: includes location, workplace arrangement, physical demands, travel, shift work, salary range, benefits, etc. We need to extract Pay, Benefits, Schedule, Location maybe. Pay: "The current base annual salary range for this role is currently: $115,200-158,400". Also mention pay scales determined etc. So we can include Pay section with that range. Benefits: "The Company offers employees and their families, medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance. Employees are able to participate in the Company’s 401k plan. Employees will also receive eight (8) hours of vacation leave every month and (13) paid holidays throughout the calendar year." Also maybe mention flexible workplace arrangement up to two days a week remote. That's more about schedule/remote work. Schedule: "Occasional afternoon, evening, or weekend shift work may be required based on testing and support schedules." Also "May require travel international dependent on business needs (up to 20%)." Also "Occasional afternoon, evening, or weekend shift work may be required". Also "Occasionally required to move around the campus." Also "Routinely required to sit; walk; talk; hear; use hands...". That's physical demands, not schedule. Could include Schedule section for shift work and travel. Location: "This position is located on-site in, San Diego, CA . It requires onsite presence to attend in-person work-related events, trainings and meetings and to further ensure teamwork, collaboration and innovation.A flexible workplace arrangement may be available to employees working in roles conducive to remote work (up to two days a week)." So location and remote flexibility. We need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule (maybe includes location?). Could also have a separate "Location and Work Arrangement" but guidelines: only include when real specific content. Could embed location in About the role or separate. Better: About the role (intro). Responsibilities (combined role responsibilities and algorithms specifics). Qualifications (education & experience). Skills. Benefits. Pay. Schedule (shift work, travel, maybe location). Ensure we don't create empty sections. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Now produce HTML fragment:

  • Facilitate clear communication of technical issues and development activities across Integration, Customer Support, and other relevant teams, serving as a central point of contact and information resource for engineers.
  • Monitor and report system and plasma submodule performance, identify performance gaps, and define solutions or improvements to enhance system stability, availability, and efficiency.
  • Plan, coordinate, and execute subsystem- and system-level integration activities for automation and control functions, qualification, design verification and regression testing in laboratory test bench and cleanroom fabrication environments.
  • Analyze test results using time-series data, equipment logs, diagnostic signals, statistical methods, and engineering analysis tools to determine whether control functions meet performance, stability, availability, and diagnostic requirements.
  • Prepare clear test summaries and qualification reports documenting test configuration, execution results, identified gaps, technical conclusions, risks, and recommended next actions.
  • Organize, coordinate, optimize, lead, coach, develop and appraise employees within the person's expertise / team.
  • Applies broad knowledge in sensors, actuators, control algorithms, automation, software, and data analysis tools to drive control system improvements to enable continuously increased EUV power and system availability.
  • Documents work results with system requirements, design specifications, procedures, and training materials.
  • Travel to customer sites to provide onsite support, including hands-on upgrade and troubleshooting in cleanroom fabrication facilities.
  • May require travel international dependent on business needs (up to 20%).
  • Occasional afternoon, evening, or weekend shift work may be required based on testing and support schedules.
  • Performs other duties as assigned.
  • Algorithms and Controls Specific: Contributes to development, simulation, implementation, and tuning of complex algorithms involving controller design, optimization, system identification, signal processing and stochastic signal analysis for the EUV Source & other equipment used in the semiconductor industry.
  • Works on broadly defined system- and subsystem- level specifications to determine appropriate top-down automation, control system, algorithm architecture and performance criteria.
  • Develop and maintain traceable requirements, interface definitions, and design specifications for automation logic and control algorithms implementation.
  • Translate system requirements, field observations, and known failure modes into structured test objectives, test cases, acceptance and verification plan for control-system releases and corrective actions.
  • Designs and builds tools that allow debugging, analysis and performance evaluation of algorithms. Determines the root cause for algorithm failure, ensuring correct interfaces, timing behavior, diagnostics in products in the manufacturing factory and field installed units in high-level escalations.
  • Mentors junior level algorithm engineers in controls fundamentals, algorithm development, structured troubleshooting, test design through technical guidance and assistance.
  • Investigates the feasibility of applying scientific and mathematical control design principles and concepts to potential inventions and products.
  • Plans and executes laboratory research pertaining to control algorithm design and validation in lab test bench and/or cleanroom.
  But note we already included shift work and travel in responsibilities; maybe better to move those to Schedule section. However guidelines: we can include them in responsibilities but also schedule. To avoid duplication, maybe keep them in responsibilities but also schedule? Better to separate: responsibilities focus on core duties; schedule includes shift work, travel, location. Let's adjust. Responsibilities list without shift/travel. Then Schedule section includes shift work, travel, location/remote. Let's extract responsibilities list (excluding shift/travel and location). We'll keep shift/travel in Schedule.
