This invaluable experience allows members to learn all aspects of the business and determine where they fit best.
Engineering Rotational Assignments
These assignments can be in any VSEA engineering department and usually last between 6-8 months. Program members are given the opportunity to explore the wide variety of positions and opportunities within the engineering organization. These rotations help the employee and managers in determining where the employee may flourish in their regular position within Varian. Rotational assignments could include:
- Developing and running various engineering-disciplined FEA models and scenarios
- Engineering a thermal management strategy and system for our ion implanters
- Creating test stands for verifying designs prior to customer deployment
- Engineering VSEA-specific Mixed Signal circuits for use in our control system
- Designing and customizing aspects of the wafer handling system
…and many more opportunities yet to be created!
Manufacturing Rotational Assignment
What better way to become familiar with a product than to build it yourself! This assignment provides engineers with a hands-on learning experience working in our manufacturing department. Assignments could include
- Working with a manufacturing team to build assemblies that make up our implanters
- Testing either sections of the machine…or the whole thing to verify proper operation prior to shipping to a customer
- Traveling to a customer site virtually anywhere in the world to assist in install and test of a new machine
