What you'll do:

• Primary focus of this position is to architect, develop complex software/firmware modules for machine control in semiconductor inspection systems.
• Project involves demanding real-time embedded applications including interrupt-driven task-based multi-threaded software for electro-mechanical control system running on a real-time operating system (RTOS) such as real-time Linux and /or VxWorks for a high-reliability application.
• Develop SW/FW using C/C++ on Linux/RTOS to communicate with custom and 3rd party motion controllers using interfaces like Ethernet, Serial-RS232 and/or USB.  
• Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including electrical, mechanical, optics and other software teams to acquire in-depth domain knowledge and solve system problems.
• Understand system level requirements and translate them into software design and implementation.
• Define and execute test plans to measure the performance of key subsystems. Document, analyze and present the testing results.
• Participate in all stages of software development, including design, implementation, deployment, testing and troubleshooting.
• Work with SCM (Software Configuration Management) team to setup build env and deployment framework.
• Possess high curiosity, be a fast learner, and have the strive to turn prototype ideas into quality production code used in mission critical applications.
• Join team to develop groundbreaking and creative solutions to exciting problems rarely found elsewhere.
