Enabling picometer precision with multiple kilowatts of power

Back Apply now

Power conversion is an important enabling technology for high precision manufacturing equipment for the semiconductor industry. In the product line ‘Litho Power Systems’ Prodrive Technologies develops and produces power supplies and amplifiers in the KiloWatt power range, with very high accuracy and stability, resulting in PicoMeter (10-12 meter) positioning accuracy. The continuous increasing complexity of the manufacturing equipment will not only demand for more power supplies and amplifiers with improved performance, but also for a smaller footprint and higher reliability.

My day starts with a nice, early bike ride to the headquarters of Prodrive Technologies. This way I’m fresh and focused when arriving at work. I like to start early because my productivity is the highest in the morning. After enjoying my first cup of tea and updating my mailbox, I have my first meeting.

During this meeting the status of the high linearity amplifier is discussed, which was delivered to the customer last week. After the meeting I continue making simulations for a DCDC converter, which will be part of a power cabinet we are developing with a big project team for a high demanding customer. In my role as architect of the DCDC converter, I’m technically responsible for the performance and quality of the final product. I have the overview over the different disciplines, such as electronics, mechanics, software and magnetics. Also, I have technical discussions with our customers to align the specifications. With the other architects within the project I align on generic parts.

At noon colleagues pass by my office to ask if I’m already hungry and if I want to join for lunch with them. After a nice lunch, provided by our kitchen staff, we enjoy a short, sunny walk around the science park.

When coming back from the walk I go to the laboratory. Together with a colleague we are performing linearity measurements on a lab setup. The improvements that were made in firmware need to be verified.

When all tests are successfully executed, I pick up my sport clothing at my office and head for the Prodrive Technologies gym. Here I join the afternoon bootcamp session given by our personal trainer. After the exciting workout I take a shower and bike home.
