Staff Mechanical Engineer

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development, and implementation of precision automation equipment and customized engineering solutions. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver equipment that meets performance, quality, manufacturability, and cost requirements, with a strong focus on the semiconductor and high-tech manufacturing industries.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop precision automation equipment, machinery, and tooling solutions based on project requirements.
• Create, build, and evaluate prototypes to validate functionality, reliability, and performance.
• Conduct engineering calculations and design analyses to optimize equipment performance and efficiency.
• Perform Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) and risk assessments to ensure robust and reliable designs.
• Define equipment specifications and technical requirements.
• Plan and execute equipment testing, validation, and buy-off activities.
• Analyze test results and implement design improvements to meet safety, quality, performance, and reliability standards.
• Develop detailed 2D drawings and 3D models using CAD software (preferably SolidWorks).
• Collaborate with Controls Engineers to optimize machine sequence flow and overall system performance.
• Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to ensure cost-effective production and assembly.
• Work closely with manufacturing and assembly teams to ensure designs are practical and manufacturable.
• Prepare equipment cost estimates, including material, labor, overhead, and delivery costs.
• Support project planning, scheduling, and coordination to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.
• Participate in equipment assembly, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and customer acceptance activities.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Minimum 6 years of relevant experience in precision equipment design, automation machinery, or special-purpose machine development.
• Experience in the semiconductor industry will be a strong advantage.
• Proficient in 2D and 3D CAD software, preferably SolidWorks.
• Strong understanding of: Mechanical design principles; Automation systems; DFMEA and risk assessment methodologies; Design for Manufacturing (DFM); Engineering calculations and tolerance analysis
• Hands-on experience in equipment assembly, installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
• Experience managing engineering projects from concept development through final implementation.
• Familiarity with semiconductor manufacturing equipment and automation processes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and continuous improvement.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Good communication and stakeholder management skills.
