Yieldstar Physics Information Theorist

Introduction

Do you like to use your ability in information theoretical principles in the ambiguous experimental situation, and is your hobby programming and algorithm development ? This job may be an excellent opportunity for you!

Job Mission

Sector Information

Within our client the sector Development & Engineering is responsible for the development, specification and design of new products. The Business Line Applications provides integrated solutions with computational, metrology and control technology. These solutions extend and improve the performance of lithography products for the semiconductor industry.

Group Mission

Within D&E Applications, the group YieldStar Algorithms and Physical Modeling covers the development of physical, optical and mathematical models and methods required to infer physical model parameters from optical scatterometry data. Relevant new metrics and algorithms, as well as new measurement functions, with optimum performance characteristics using the raw acquisitions are identified, designed and implemented.

The group secures both the Scatterometry Modeling Competency and the Applied Mathematics Competency.

Job Description

- Propose and develop new or improved parameter estimation algorithms, physical models and calibrations that enables use of the maximum information content in semiconductor metrology solutions.
- Communicate crystal clearly on the information theoretical principles related to the physical situation to stakeholders, without omitting the essentials.
- Design and realize fully functional proof-of-concept subsystems on the edge of system specifications, costs and project planning, thereby contributing directly to products for B2B customers world-wide.
- Review technical analyses from the team, and structure team contributions keeping the overview.
- Consolidate technical-team identity in communication with other departments.
- Interfacing with the Research and on-product applications groups, while developing the best metrology solutions and a well-founded vision on semiconductor metrology.
- Contribute to technical product roadmaps and generate intellectual property protecting our clients products.
- Working as a team with similar-minded people, benefiting from each other's specific competences.
- Keywords: parameter estimation and signal processing, image processing, physical calibration, optimization, applied statistics, machine learning, pattern recognition and information theory.

Education

- PhD. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or Physics

Experience

Established experience in information theoretical modelling related to physical examples, (big) data analysis and algorithm design

Personal skills

- Experience with information theoretical techniques related to a physical situation
