Job description

Position title : Mechanical Design Engineer / Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

• Design mechanical systems and modules for TCB, flip-chip, die-bonding, and advanced semiconductor packaging equipment.


• Develop mechanical concepts, 3D models, detailed drawings, assembly drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation.


• Design equipment modules such as: Wafer handling systems ; Substrate, strip, panel, or glass-panel handling systems ; Die ejection, die pickup, and die transfer mechanisms ; Precision XY, XYZ, XYZT, and multi-axis positioning stages ; Bondheads and thermal bondheads ; Micro-Z, force-control, compliance, and tip-tilt mechanisms ; Heating, cooling, vacuum, gas, and thermal isolation structures ; Conversion kits, change parts, fixtures, tooling, nests, and bond tools


• Select suitable mechanical and motion components, including bearings, linear guides, motors, encoders, actuators, load cells, heaters, sensors, springs, and flexures.


• Conduct tolerance stack-up and design reviews for critical precision assemblies.


• Consider positioning accuracy, repeatability, structural stiffness, vibration, thermal expansion, force transmission, alignment, and serviceability in the design.


• Work closely with process, electrical, software, vision, motion-control, manufacturing, procurement, and service teams.


• Support machine assembly, alignment, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and customer qualification.


• Investigate machine problems and implement practical design improvements.


• Improve existing modules for better accuracy, reliability, cycle time, manufacturability, and cost.


• Maintain proper engineering documentation and design-change records.

Requirements:

• Diploma or bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Precision Engineering, Automation, or a related discipline.


• Approximately2 or more years of mechanical design experiencein semiconductor equipment, precision automation, machine building, motion systems, or related industries.


• Proficiency in 3D mechanical CAD software such as Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, NX, or equivalent.


• Able to prepare detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings.


• Good understanding of: Fits and tolerances ; GD & T ; Bearings and linear-motion components ; Machining and fabrication processes ; Material selection and surface treatment ; Mechanical assembly and alignment


• Able to develop practical mechanism concepts rather than only produce drawings from instructions.


• Willing to support machine assembly, debugging, testing, and continuous improvement.


• Experience in semiconductor packaging or semiconductor automation equipment.


• Experience designing precision, high-stiffness, or thermally stable machine modules.


• Knowledge of thermal expansion, heater integration, thermal isolation, and temperature uniformity.


• Experience with precision motion, force control, vacuum systems, pneumatics, or cleanroom-compatible equipment.


• Experience with tolerance analysis, FEA, thermal simulation, or structural analysis.


• Experience taking a module from concept through assembly, testing, and customer acceptance.


• Familiarity with DFM, DFA, cost reduction, and engineering change control.


• Experience with prototype, customised, or first-of-a-kind equipment development.
