POSITION SUMMARY:

Advanced Energy RF Delivery Systems (RFDS) is looking for an experienced and proven Lead Engineer - Metrology for its New Product Development (NPD) team to lead the Metrology Systems used in Plasma Power applications.

The Lead Engineer - Metrology will have responsibility of architecting validating and scaling highfidelity RF and pulsed DC metrology for factory deployment. You will drive the endtoend lifecycle of metrology solutions: sensor design & selection calibration strategies uncertainty modeling procedures MSA SPC integration and factoryscale rollout. This role is technical and handson with significant crossfunctional influence (R&D RF design process engineering manufacturing and factory automation. The successful candidate will have technical skills to understand the product and customer requirements as well as detailed knowledge of the appropriate metrology standards and methods of traceability to apply in each situation. Ability to communicate uncertainty calculations and traceability methods to internal and external stakeholders including accrediting bodies is expected. The Lead Engineer - Metrology will be responsible for ensuring test methods and procedures support high levels of integrity while maintaining product manufacturability. Prior experience in industrial RF power and/or high-power power supply design is preferred.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Build rigorous uncertainty budgets (per GUM/JCGM 100) for parameters relevant to complex high power industrial electronics.

Lead sensor/systems metrology with a cross-functional team: specify develop or qualify sensors (e.g. directional couplers VI probes calorimetric power); define deembedding and Sparameter workflows.

Establish traceability to national standards (e.g. NIST) and design decision rules/guardbanding for production dispositions (e.g. ILAC/ISO/IEC 17025 aligned).

Operationalize metrology for HVM: author SOPs/MOPs MSA/GR&R plans SPC hooks calibration intervals and lifecycle management for sensors and fixtures.

Validate robustness under real tool conditions: thermal drift nonlinearity electromagnetic coupling noisy loads parasitics and match network dynamics; define tool matching and metrology equivalence criteria.

Conduct design reviews coach on uncertainty/statistics and set technical standards.

Partner with RF design applications/process engineering reliability and quality to ensure metrology integrity from R&D through HVM.

Communicate clearly to all stakeholders: quantify metrology risk/impact with KPIs (e.g. GR&R Cg/Cgk Cpk escape rate uptime/yield/cost impacts).

Enhance and align metrology programs at relevant business sites. Prepare metrology plans for both initial accreditation and ongoing re-accreditation by third-party organizations like A2LA.

Understand how industry trends and technical requirements can be integrated into AEs metrology strategy.

Create visibility and credibility for AE in metrology forums and with key customers.

Serve as a consultant to peer groups within AE in support of new product development. Work with our Advanced Development team to review technology readiness to launch into new products.
