Mechanical Engineer- Product Development

Overview

Own the design, development, qualification and sustainment of mechanical systems, modules and subsystems for semiconductor capital equipment across the product lifecycle.

What you'll do

• Own the design, development, qualification, and sustainment of mechanical systems, modules, and subsystems for Semiconductor Capital Equipment throughout the product lifecycle.
• Drive technical decisions, architecture trade-offs, and innovative design solutions to meet product performance, reliability, safety, cost, schedule, and DFX objectives.
• Lead the design and development of critical subsystems such as Vacuum Chambers, Frames, Precision Mechanisms, Electronics Packaging, and other semiconductor equipment modules.
• Ensure subsystem designs satisfy requirements across Safety, Manufacturing, Assembly, Serviceability, Reliability, Quality, and Cost stakeholders.
• Perform engineering analysis, root cause investigations, risk assessments, and implementation of corrective actions for complex technical challenges.
• Collaborate with Systems, Electrical, Manufacturing, Supplier Engineering, and global engineering teams to deliver robust, scalable, and manufacturable solutions.
• Drive product improvements, engineering change implementation, reliability enhancements, cost reduction initiatives, and design standardization efforts.
• Support supplier selection, OEM component qualification, technology evaluations, and technical issue resolution including sensors, actuators, motion components, valves, bearings, and other critical subsystem components.
• Create and maintain 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, specifications, BOMs, and engineering documentation.
• Define, execute, and document engineering validation, characterization, and qualification activities.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• 7-10 years of experience in Mechanical Design and Product Development within the Semiconductor Equipment Industry or other complex capital equipment domains.
• Strong proficiency in NX, Creo, and PLM tools such as Windchill and/or Teamcenter.
• Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, material selection, precision assemblies, sheet metal design, machining, manufacturing processes, and engineering documentation practices.
• Experience with complete product development lifecycle, engineering analysis, design validation, risk assessment, engineering testing, and DFX methodologies.
• Demonstrated expertise in at least one of the following domains: Vacuum Chamber Design, Frame Design, Precision Mechanism Design, Electronics Packaging, or other critical semiconductor equipment modules.
• Experience with subsystem integration, OEM component selection, sensor integration, motion systems, structural design, thermal considerations, and reliability-driven design practices.
• Familiarity with SEMI S2 and SEMI S8 requirements and their impact on equipment design.
• Strong communication, presentation, articulation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to proactively identify and escalate risks, influence decisions, drive technical discussions, and collaborate effectively across global cross-functional teams.
• Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex engineering challenges and drive technical solutions with minimal supervision.

Nice to have

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• Experience across multiple semiconductor equipment subsystems beyond the candidate's primary area of expertise.
• Hands-on experience with Equipment Build, Integration, Testing, Debug, and Qualification activities.
• Experience with FEA, CFD, and engineering calculation/modeling tools such as MathCAD for design validation and performance prediction.
• Experience with precision motion systems, contamination control, electronics packaging, and semiconductor equipment qualification processes.
• Experience working with global engineering teams, supplier engagement, product transfer, and component qualification activities.
• Experience leveraging AI-Powered Engineering and Productivity Tools to improve design efficiency, problem-solving, data analysis, documentation, and engineering decision-making.
