Job Title: Manager, Mechanical Engineering R&D

Job Description: Here at Entegris, we use advanced science to enable technologies that transform the world, and we are seeking employees who have the drive to continue that mission.

Role

Entegris is currently seeking a Mechanical Engineering Manager to join our Advanced Deposition Hardware team. This position will be based in our Round Rock, TX facility.

We are seeking an experienced mechanical engineering manager to lead the development of next generation semiconductor hardware/delivery systems solutions. In this high impact leadership role, you will guide a mechanical engineering team through the full product lifecycle - from concept and design to validation, manufacturing, and customer deployment.

You’ll shape the future of our hardware portfolio by driving innovation, partnering with global manufacturing teams, and ensuring our products meet the highest standards of performance, quality, and reliability. If you thrive in a fast paced technical environment and are passionate about building advanced technologies that power the semiconductor industry, this is an opportunity to make a significant and lasting impact.

What You’ll Do

• Work closely with systems engineering, electrical engineering, controls, materials scientists, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to deliver liquid and solid precursor delivery systems capable of supporting leading edge semiconductor processes, strict defectivity targets, and high volume manufacturing.
• Lead a team of mechanical engineers in the design, development, verification, and deployment of semiconductor delivery system products for solid and liquid ALD and CVD precursors.
• Ensure mechanical designs support critical ALD requirements including: Ultraclean vacuum environments; Precise thermal management; Uniform gas delivery and purge performance; Product stability across thermal cycling; Drive design decisions related to vacuum components and process monitoring; Materials selection for contamination control; High temperature and corrosive chemistries; Tool maintainability, ease of use and uptime.
• Work with contract manufacturers domestically and internationally on designing, building, testing, qualification, and continuous improvements of Entegris delivery systems and hardware within a Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) approach.
• Research and identify improved hardware sub-components (valves, pressure transducers, control systems, etc.) to be used to better overall customer satisfaction with the cost, performance, quality, safety, and delivery of our hardware products.
• Manage, develop, and document intellectual property in collaboration with Entegris legal.
• Create, manage, and validate the deliverables from product development to the release to manufacturing.
• Drive internal and external engineering resources to meet the needs of customers regarding overall product performance and project timelines.
• Manage the professional development of the engineering team, with a focus on semiconductor technical acumen, technical project execution and continuous improvement.
• Engage with product marketing, field service engineering and customers on detailed functional requirements for our delivery systems and hardware products.

What We Seek

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master's preferred).
• 8+ years of mechanical engineering experience, including 3+ years in a technical leadership or people management role.
• Direct experience designing semiconductor processing equipment, preferably ALD, CVD, or related vacuum-based deposition tools.
• Strong background in precision mechanical design, vacuum systems and leak integrity, thermal management and heat transfer, materials selection for corrosive and high temperature environments.
• Ability to balance innovation speed with robustness and manufacturability.
• Clear communicator who can align cross-functional teams.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, NX) and engineering analysis methods.
• Experience transitioning designs from R&D to high volume manufacturing.
• Knowledge of semiconductor industry standards, safety requirements, and cleanliness protocols.

What We Offer

The total rewards package goes above and beyond just a paycheck. Whether you’re looking to build your career, improve your health, or protect your wealth, we offer generous benefits to help you achieve your goals.

• Generous 401(k) plan with impressive employer match.
• Excellent health, dental and vision insurance packages to fit your needs.
• Flexible work schedule and 11 paid holidays a year.
• Paid time off (PTO) policy that empowers you to take the time you need to recharge.
• Education assistance to support your learning journey.
