What this role is
This role leads a mechanical engineering team developing precision hardware for next-generation EUV light sources in semiconductor reticle inspection equipment, operating in extreme vacuum and thermal environments. It suits an experienced engineering manager who has built capital equipment at high complexity and wants to own subsystem architecture across vacuum, optics, and thermal-mechanical integration.
