Lead integration, testing, verification, and deployment of laser-based wafer manufacturing systems. Define system interfaces, integrate electro-mechanical, optical, and software subsystems, develop test strategies, troubleshoot root causes, analyze performance data, create automation tools, mentor engineers, and support manufacturing handoffs through documentation and technical reporting.
Halo Industries, Inc., a pioneer in manufacturing innovation with light-based technologies, seeks a highly skilled System Integration Engineer to join our dynamic team. Our proprietary advancements replace traditional processes with novel light-based equivalents, offering higher quality, lower cost, and enhanced functionality. As we rapidly expand our operations, we're looking for a team to oversee our prototype systems' integration and verification activities.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Staff System Integration Engineer to join our dynamic team. This role is crucial for the successful integration, testing, and deployment of our cutting-edge laser-based wafer manufacturing systems. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of complex electro-mechanical systems, software integration, and data analysis, with a proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical challenges in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead cross-functional collaboration during early design phases to define system interfaces and resolve electro-mechanical, optical, and software mismatches before the physical build begins.
- Actively execute the physical integration of complex laser-based manufacturing prototypes, working directly with the hardware to seamlessly bring together diverse subsystems.
- Architect the overarching system test strategy and execute complex test plans, ensuring complete coverage from subsystem characterization to full-scale validation.
- Get hands-on with the tools to perform deep-dive, system-level root cause analysis and resolve complex multi-disciplinary issues.
- Write scripts, build automation tools, and analyze complex performance data to actively configure, tune, and optimize system parameters for peak stability.
- Serve as the technical anchor for integration workflows, making critical upstream decisions while mentoring junior engineers on the floor to elevate their practical troubleshooting skills.
- Partner with manufacturing teams for smooth system handoffs, actively authoring robust documentation (assembly/test procedures, manuals) and presenting performance reports to engineering leadership.
Requirements
Basic Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a highly related technical field.
- 8+ years of hands-on experience in system integration, ideally within a semiconductor, laser, or precision manufacturing environment.
- Proven, highly hands-on experience assembling, integrating, and testing complex electro-mechanical systems, including optics, lasers, motion control, and automation hardware.
- Strong proficiency with data acquisition and analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, LabVIEW, Python, etc).
Preferred Qualifications
- Proficiency in software programming/scripting languages such as Python or C#.
- Deep practical experience with one or more of the following: high-precision laser systems, optical alignment techniques, complex system calibration, precision motion systems, electrical distribution systems
- Working knowledge of semiconductor wafer manufacturing processes, equipment, and constraints.
- Experience deploying and scaling automation tools and testing frameworks in a lab or manufacturing setting.
- Exceptional cross-functional communication and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to align diverse engineering teams around technical solutions.
Benefits
- Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
- Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
- Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
- Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
- Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
- Free Food & Snacks
