About the position

The Mechanical Design Engineer will play a crucial role in the development of advanced semiconductor equipment. This position requires a blend of technical expertise in mechanical design, material science, and CAD software, with a focus on creating high-quality, manufacturable designs that meet performance and cost objectives. The role involves collaboration with various teams to ensure the successful execution of design projects.

Responsibilities

• Participates in conceptualization, modeling, analysis, development, documentation, and test/validation of hardware for new semiconductor equipment.
• Designs parts using materials like metals, ceramics, quartz, plastics, and advanced coatings/platings, ensuring manufacturability aligns with performance and cost goals.
• Ensures documentation adheres to relevant standards (ANSI, DIN, etc.), demonstrating proper use of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Performs analytical work to specify new and existing designs, including analysis of heat transfer, stress, vibrations, fluid/gas dynamics, and manufacturability.
• Develops and executes test plans to validate and understand the performance of designs.
• Creates high-quality reports and presentations for design reviews, clearly communicating design intent, analysis, and validation.
• Works closely with suppliers and internal departments to ensure high-quality, cost-optimized solutions are delivered for defined requirements.
• May design and implement custom mechanical tooling, fixturing, and processes for handling, assembling, or disassembling parts and assemblies throughout the product life cycle.
• Establishes operational process standards.
• Prepares required deliverables as outlined in the product development plan, including FMEA, technical specifications, risk analysis, test specifications, and design review presentations.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (Master's preferred).
• 3+ years of relevant experience in mechanical design, preferably in the semiconductor industry.
• Proficiency in CAD software, specifically NX and Solid Edge.
• Strong knowledge of material science.

Benefits
