Diamond Foundry is seeking a Director of Reactor Development to lead the design, development, and scale-up of advanced plasma reactor platforms supporting next-generation diamond growth technology.
This leader will manage multidisciplinary engineering teams responsible for reactor architecture, subsystem integration, process scalability, and manufacturing transfer. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in semiconductor capital equipment, plasma processing, or advanced manufacturing systems, along with a track record of delivering complex hardware from development through production.
Responsibilities- Lead development of next-generation plasma/CVD reactor systems focused on performance, reliability, scalability, and manufacturability.
- Drive reactor architecture and subsystem integration across plasma, vacuum, thermal, gas delivery, controls, and mechanical systems.
- Build and lead multidisciplinary engineering teams across mechanical, electrical, process, and systems engineering.
- Establish structured engineering and validation processes, including design reviews, failure analysis, and reliability methodologies.
- Partner closely with manufacturing and operations teams to transition reactor platforms into production.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with process development, materials science, facilities, and executive leadership teams.
Qualifications- MS or PhD in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related technical field.
- 10+ years of experience in semiconductor equipment, plasma systems, including microwave plasma, vacuum systems, thin film deposition, crystal growth, or advanced manufacturing technologies.
- 5+ years leading complex hardware engineering teams.
- Strong technical background in plasma processing, vacuum systems, thermal systems, or high-temperature process equipment with an emphasis on both developing and optimizing the theoretical models and empirically demonstrating correlating performance.
- Demonstrated success scaling complex systems from R&D into manufacturing.
