Application Manager

Responsibilities: Technical Support & Product Management § Identify and develop new scientific vacuum (SV) product opportunities, rapidly introduce new products into emerging markets, and formulate effective plans for product launches. § Lead product development in close collaboration with global Product Management teams and product companies’ technical teams to ensure products are adapted for the China market and drive local-market-driven innovation. § Lead product quality improvement initiatives and resolve customer complaints systematically. § Design high vacuum (HV) and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems, including vacuum chambers, pumping units (turbo pumps, ion pumps, cryo pumps, dry scroll pumps, etc.), valves, gauges, flanges, and sealing structures. § Review and standardize technical documentation such as calculation reports, test specifications, and installation/maintenance manuals. § Monitor emerging vacuum technologies (e.g., NEG coatings, getters, advanced cryo-arrays) and assess their feasibility for new product integration. Key Account Project Delivery & Quality Control § Coordinate technical specifications for vacuum component selection and procurement, support supplier technical evaluations, and collaborate with Quality and Procurement teams for incoming inspection. § Develop vacuum test protocols (helium leak detection, RGA, ultimate pressure and pumping speed curves), analyze anomalies, and propose corrective actions. § Work closely with mechanical design, electrical controls, and process engineering teams to resolve interface issues between vacuum systems and heating/cooling, plasma sources, or motion mechanisms. Team Building & Management § Recruit, develop, and lead a team of vacuum engineers and technicians; establish technical upskilling plans. § Allocate tasks covering design, testing, and on-site support; monitor project progress and quality deliverables. Customer & Field Support § Support sales and solution teams in pre-sales technical discussions, assessing customer requirements (e.g., base pressure, pressure rise rate, allowable hydrocarbon contamination level). § Participate in installation and commissioning of key projects, conduct on-site troubleshooting, and provide remote technical guidance. § Prepare or review technical proposals, acceptance test reports, patent applications, and vacuum-related sections of research papers.

Requirements: Master’s degree or higher in Vacuum Technology, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related fields. Ph.D. preferred. 5+ years of experience in scientific vacuum system development or operation, with at least 2 years in a technical leadership/management role. Proficient in vacuum calculations (conductance, pumping speed, outgassing rate estimation, pressure distribution). Skilled in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Catia, Inventor) and vacuum simulation tools (Molflow+, COMSOL Vacuum Module). Deep knowledge of helium leak detection (spray, sniffer, vacuum mode) and RGA spectral analysis. Basic knowledge of vacuum safety interlocks and control logic. Strong technical documentation and report writing skills (English and Chinese). Ability to lead rapid team response to field failures (leaks, pump issues, etc.). Cross-functional collaboration with mechanical, electrical, process, and procurement teams. Preferred Add-Ons Hands-on experience building and debugging UHV systems (＜1e-10 mbar). Familiarity with EPICS, LabVIEW, or PLC-based vacuum control integration. Knowledge of quantitative RGA analysis or vacuum metrology/calibration. Experience with cleanroom and particle control (SEMI standards). Track record of building a vacuum engineering team from scratch or establishing training systems.
