Descrizione del lavoro

fab2 is seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Engineer to design, prototype, and build the mechanical systems in our semiconductor fabrication equipment. You will take ownership of stages, frames, and complete assemblies, delivering rapid prototyping and testing in days or weeks.

We value hands‑on builders who can move from concept to production quickly, with a portfolio of actual builds. Fab2 offers equity and a competitive salary with offices in Austin, TX, and San Francisco, CA.

Competenze

• 3 years designing and building precision mechanical systems that hit real accuracy and repeatability targets.
• Working fluency in precision machine design fundamentals: exact-constraint design, kinematic couplings, flexures, error budgeting, structural loops, tolerance analysis.
• Hands‑on prototyping, fabrication, assembly, and alignment experience—you’re comfortable on a mill, a granite surface plate, and behind an interferometer.
• Experience selecting and integrating precision components (bearings, encoders, isolators, actuators).
• Experience with dimensional metrology: interferometry, LVDTs, capacitance probes, autocollimators, and CMMs.

Mansioni

• Design and iterate on precision machines, motion stages, structural loops, metrology frames, opto‑mechanical mounts, test fixtures, and inspection tooling targeting sub‑micron to nanometer performance.
• Lead mechanical system integration, alignment procedures, and cross‑team coordination with electrical, controls, and optics engineers.
• Drive mechanical design of frames, stages, and assemblies with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and a practical eye toward manufacturability and assembly.
• Rapidly prototype, build and characterize new designs on the bench using a variety of tools and characterization equipment.
• Select and integrate precision components: bearings, encoders, interferometers, actuators, isolators, and dampers.
• Develop error budgets and tolerance stack‑ups; identify and mitigate dominant error sources (thermal, vibrational, structural, kinematic).
