• Apply sound engineering principles, fundamentals of physics, and product-focused mindset to meet customer needs.
• Perform engineering calculations related tostructural, thermal, and fluid dynamicsto support robust and reliable designs.
• Create and maintainCreo Parametric 3D CAD models and complex assemblies.
• Generate 2D drawings, applying GD&T standards(ASME Y14.5 and/or ISO 1101) for use in a global supply chain.
• Evaluate the feasibility of product proposals, resolve technical issues, and developnew designsin compliance with product safety and customer need
• Prepare complete engineering documentation to support prototype to HVM transition
• Support engineering project activities, including design characterization, schedule planning, design reviews, and coordination withcross‑functionalteams.
• Establishand maintain product structures and configurations
• Participate in and present at design reviews fornew designs, product enhancements, andcustomer‑specificsolutions.
• Support hardware development, installation, and testing to verify performance; create, review, and approve test plans and test procedures.
• Interface with manufacturing, suppliers, and other engineering teams to ensure smooth product transfer into the manufacturing cycle.
• Review and process engineering change requests (ECR/ECO) and support continuous product and process improvements through Teamcenter PLM
• Travel to customer or supplier sites as needed to support technical discussions and project execution.
• Maintain a strong commitment to safety in all activities.

What we are looking for

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineeringorrelateddisciplines.
• Several years ofhands‑onexperience inmechanical design and developmentof complex systems within semiconductor or capital equipment industries.
• Practical experience with mechanical systems such as vacuum chambers, reactors,susceptor heaters,gas delivery systems, pneumatics, coolingcircuits.
• Ability to perform simulation and engineering analysis (e.g., structural, thermal, fluid dynamics) to support robust and reliable designs.
• ProficiencyinCreo (or equivalent CAD tools)and ability to create detailed engineering drawings
• Solid understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical design fundamentals for use in vacuum and ultra clean processes
• Strongproblem‑solvingskills and creativity
• The ability to work effectively in across‑functional,fast‑pacedenvironment.

What sets you apart

• PhDin Mechanical Engineering or related degree.
• Experience withthermal and plasma-based deposition equipment(ALD, PEALD, CVD)
• Systems level design and characterization, bridging component design to over-all system and on-wafer performance.
• Strong capability to run and interpretmultiphysicssimulations (structural, thermal, CFD) and apply the results to improve design specifications.
• Extremely large CAD assembly management
• Strong dFX and DFMEA experience
• Experience designing core reactor hardware (susceptors, showerheads, RF delivery, etc)
• Experience supporting products through the full lifecycle, from concept and design to manufacturing release.
