We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connects

About our technology

The semiconductor industry’s growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude In short,

Black Semiconductor GmbH is looking for an Equipment Integration Engineer (f/m/d) to lead the pioneering introduction of Equipment Integration (EI) in our 300mm Wafer Fabrication in Aachen, Germany.

Your tasks

The Role

• Learn and understand our identified Equipment Integration platform
• Drive the equipment suppliers towards fulfilling the required GEM Compliance levels
• Perform Equipment Characterization/Testing & Buy-Off according to our SECS/GEM compliance specification
• Perform SECS/GEM integration of the 300mm wafer fabrication equipment into our system landscape
• Author requirement/functional specifications for new/existing CIM modules and/or solutions introduced/to be introduced
• Design test cases and test scenarios and perform black box testing for the Equipment Integration solution before releasing to production
• Provide 2nd level support and resolution for Equipment Integration related issues
• Lead, train, and establish the 24x7 support team to adequately support incidents observed in the line
• Schedule and conduct periodic user training for engineering, operational, and production personnel

Your Qualifications

• A Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Electrical & Electronics, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, IT, or a related field
• Completion of at least 3 CIM/EI related project life cycles, with at least 1 in a project management/leadership role and 2 in a developer role in a semiconductor manufacturing environment (mandatory for Specialist & Staff Engineer positions)
• Experienced and knowledgeable in SEMI Standards, particularly:
• E-004 (SECS-I), E-005 (SECS-II), E-010 (RAM), E-030 (GEM), E-037 (HSMS), E-39 (Object Services), E-40/E-87 (Processing Mgmt.), E-90 (Substrate Tracking), E-94 (Control Job Mgmt.), E-116 (Equipment Performance Tracking), and E-142 (Substrate Mapping)
• Hands-on experience with SECS/GEM characterization tools, such as FASTsim, openSIM Pro, SECSIM Pro, or other similar tools
• Proficiency in database technologies and PL/SQL for efficient data handling and integration
• A good understanding of additional SEMI Standards, such as:
• E-82: Interbay / Intrabay AMHS SEM
• E-84: Enhanced Carrier Handoff Parallel I/O Interface
