Job description

Your challenge

ITEC is redefining Semiconductor Manufacturing. At ITEC we design and build high-volume, high-speed, and high-accuracy solutions that enable our customers to assemble and test 250 million semiconductors every single day.

We Value Your Experience And Ideas

In this role, you will work within a multidisciplinary team of top‑tier engineers, pushing the boundaries of motion control accuracy, cost‑of‑goods, thermal stability, dynamic behavior, and mechanical robustness.

You will have the freedom to innovate, the responsibility to lead, and the opportunity to influence products that shape the semiconductor industry worldwide.

Your Responsibilities

• Mechanical design of high‑precision modules and systems used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
• Translate system requirements into robust mechanical concepts, detailed designs, and validated solutions.
• Develop, review, and support the team to create cost, mass and accuracy critical modules and parts.
• Perform complex analyses (e.g., FEM, thermal, vibration, dynamics) to ensure optimal system performance.
• Collaborate closely with mechatronics, electronics, optics, and manufacturing engineering.
• Drive continuous improvement—in design quality, development processes, and product performance.
• Ensure your designs remain manufacturable, cost‑effective, and compliant with industry standards.

Your Profile

You are an engineering professional with deep technical insight, a pragmatic mindset, and a passion for high‑precision technology. You enjoy solving complex engineering challenges and working in a fast‑paced, cutting‑edge environment.

Besides that you have:
