Equipment Engineering Data Specialist

Over deze functie

**What you will do**

IMEC performs world-leading research in nano-electronics, operating a diverse equipment set of most advanced semiconductor wafer processing models. To improve and further roll out our CIM application landscape, we have started the Smart Fab initiative in 2024. Smart Fab is not only about simplification of manual work, it also will deliver more insight into capacity utilization, as well as product quality. You will become part of this journey in a growing team, providing opportunities for your career development.

* As a member of our Fab Engineering team, you will closely work with experts of the MES and related software – commonly referred to as CIM.
* You have an active role throughout the entire equipment lifecycle, from automation specification during procurement, to requirement gathering after commissioning, to operational improvement after production release. You make sure that operations and engineering requirements regarding CIM integration are sufficiently specified and can be implemented accordingly. To enable this implementation, you need to understand equipment behavior and communication capabilities – which frequently requires exploration and diligent testing.
* While technical knowledge and interest is crucial to be successful in this job, you will collaborate with hardware and software engineers who either deliver details to you or must pick up conclusions made by you. Data Specialist is a pivotal role, putting equipment communication capabilities into practice.
* Commonly known as Industry 4.0 features, in semiconductor manufacturing such equipment communication feeds applications like MES, SPC, FDC (Fault Detection and Classification), APC (Advanced Process Control), and AMHS (Automated Material Handling).
* With this open position we are specifically looking for candidates who will work with Metrology equipment, i.e. measuring process results and product properties.
