Education and Experience

Minimum education and experience expectations vary by job grade. A bachelor’s degree in a relevant technical field is required; a master’s degree or PhD is preferred depending on role scope, technical depth, and business need.

• JG08: BS degree in a technical field and 5+ years of thorough experience; MS or PhD preferred. Education above a BS can compensate for years of experience depending on the candidate.
• JG09: BS degree in a technical field and 9+ years of substantial experience; MS or PhD preferred. Education above a BS can compensate for years of experience depending on the candidate.
• Solid theoretical and practical experience with vacuum and gas-flow phenomena and applications, preferably in the semiconductor industry will be given priority for hire.
• Internal candidates familiar with Twinscan and vacuum systems ADT, vacuum systems hands-on architecture knowledge, or ASML vacuum system flow modeling will be given priority for hire.
