About the job Staff Mechanical Design Engineer

KLA is a global leader in diversified electronics for the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. Virtually every electronic device in the world is produced using our technologies. No laptop, smartphone, wearable device, voice-controlled gadget, flexible screen, VR device or smart car would have made it into your hands without us. KLA invents systems and solutions for the manufacturing of wafers and reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, printed circuit boards and flat panel displays. The innovative ideas and devices that are advancing humanity all begin with inspiration, research and development. KLA focuses more than average on innovation and in 2019 we invested 15% of sales back into R&D. Our expert teams of physicists, engineers, data scientists and problem-solvers work together with the worlds leading technology providers to accelerate the delivery of tomorrows electronic devices. Life here is exciting and our teams thrive on tackling really hard problems There is never a dull moment with us.

Group/Division

The Office of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) plays a critical role in developing advanced long-range technology in collaboration with product divisions and strategic marketing, working on future technology like light sources, lasers, and sensors. We are engaged in the research and development process, and once the technology is mature, we partner with product engineering groups who then build products based on the technology weve developed. The Office of the CTO also provides technical input into KLAs strategic planning process, program reviews and Product Life Cycle (PLC) phases. We provide our broad technology expertise and cross-division experience to ensure we leverage the collective knowledge within our company.

Responsibilities

• Design of mechanical structures, modules and fixtures to support advanced laser and hormonic generation system.
• Responsible for the complete design process, including:
• Driving requirements specification
• Feasibility studies
• Conceptual and detailed design, detailed drawings, using 3D solid modeling (ProE/Creo/Solidworks)
• Conducting various analysis, such as fluid, thermal, vibrational, and FEA modeling
• Detailed tolerance stack-up analysis
• Hold design reviews throughout design process
• Procurement of prototype parts
• Prototype assembly, testing and troubleshooting
• Create assembly and test procedures. Documentation release.
• These tasks will require working with other engineering groups such as research scientists, optics engineers, laser systems engineers and laser users to ensure flawless integration and test at the subsystem and system level.
• Work closely with and manage suppliers to ensure all design requirements are specified and achieved.
• Operational and non-operational environmental and transportation testing including thermal, vibration, and shock.
• Address and resolve product issues through the product phases.
• Precision and reliable mechanism design
• Vibration isolation and thermal stability design
• Design for photo contamination control

Requirements

• Master's Level degree in mechanical engineering or related with at least 12 years of experience, or
• Doctorate (Academic) in mechanical engineering or related with at least 7 years of experience
• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including design principles, machine elements, materials, and fabrication methods
• Must be proficient with solid CAD, ProEngineer/Creo/Solidworks skill strongly preferred.
• Experience in several of these areas is desirable: opto-mechanical systems, thermal and vibration control, design of laser structures.
• Good hands‑on experience in mechanical prototype builds and problem solving skills.
• Should have experience in thermal/structural analysis and fluid flow modeling
• Team player with good communication skills

We offer a competitive, family friendly total rewards package. We design our programs to reflect our commitment to an inclusive environment, while ensuring we provide benefits that meet the diverse needs of our employees.
