Design Lead - Harness, Electrical Cabling and Packaging, Creo Schematics

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Systems Integration Engineer to support the design, integration, commissioning, and first-article build of a custom Ion Beam Deposition (IBD) system. This individual will serve as the technical focal point for electrical systems, controls architecture, motion control, power distribution, equipment integration, and system troubleshooting. The ideal candidate possesses hands-on experience with complex industrial equipment incorporating high-voltage power supplies, RF systems, PLC-based controls, vacuum systems, motion control, and industrial automation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead integration of subsystems into a fully functional deposition platform.
• Develop and maintain system-level electrical and controls architecture.
• Define interfaces between electrical, mechanical, process, software, and safety systems.
• Support equipment commissioning, startup, troubleshooting, and factory acceptance testing.
• Design and review industrial electrical systems operating from 208 VAC three-phase delta, including control power distribution, transformers, disconnects, breakers, fusing, power distribution, and grounding schemes.
• Troubleshoot power quality and electrical integration issues.
• Develop and troubleshoot PLC-based control systems.
• Design and implement analog and digital I/O architectures.
• Integrate sensors, pressure transducers, flow controllers, temperature controllers, vacuum instrumentation, and support HMI and supervisory control development.
• Integrate servo and stepper motion systems, commission motor drives and motion controllers, troubleshoot positioning, synchronization, and interlock issues, and interface motion subsystems with overall equipment controls.
• Integrate and troubleshoot high-voltage DC power supplies, RF generators and matching networks, ion sources, vacuum pumps and valves, mass flow controllers, and process monitoring instrumentation.
• Develop equipment safety architecture, implement machine interlocks and safety PLC functions, support lockout/tagout requirements, and ensure compliance with applicable industrial and electrical safety standards.

Required Qualifications

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls Engineering, Physics, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience developing complex industrial equipment.
• Strong understanding of 208 VAC three-phase delta distribution, analog and digital control systems, PLC programming and troubleshooting, industrial communication protocols, and motion control systems.
• Hands-on experience commissioning industrial machinery.
• Ability to read and generate electrical schematics.

Other Requirements

• Initial 2-3 months – Veeco - Plainview for training (temporary) – until October (approx. 3 months).
• Then will be based in Beverly @ Axcelis starting in Oct for 6-7 months, could be extended.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, life, accidental death & dismemberment, and disability insurance.
• Employee assistance program.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• 10 days of paid time off per year (some positions are eligible for need-based leave with no designated number of leave days per year).
