Job Description/Preferred Qualifications
Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and integrate mechanical systems and wafer handling solutions that enable advanced substrate handling performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Marketing, Manufacturing, NPI, and Suppliers, to define system architecture, review designs, and ensure successful end-to-end product delivery.
Analyze system requirements, budgets, and specifications to support system modeling, design decisions, and performance optimization.
Develop prototypes, execute system and subsystem integration, testing, characterization, and validation activities, and create test plans to verify system performance.
Ensure designs are scalable for High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) by working closely with suppliers and manufacturing teams to assess manufacturability, manufacturing processes, and production readiness.
Support product introduction and sustainment by creating assembly, testing, and diagnostic documentation, and providing technical training to Manufacturing and NPI engineers.
Coordinate project activities, drive stakeholder alignment, manage technical issues and escalations, and support manufacturing and field teams in resolving product-related challenges.
Provide regular project status updates, communicate risks and mitigation plans, and ensure alignment with product roadmaps, business objectives, and organizational strategies.
Continuously identify and drive improvements in products, processes, and ways of working to support innovation and competitiveness.
Requirements:
Strong foundation in mechanical design, system integration, and product development, including mechanical assemblies, precision mechanisms, and wafer handling systems.
Experience with modeling, simulation, and analysis tools, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), structural stress/strain analysis, vibration analysis, and performance prediction.
Solid understanding of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T), manufacturability principles, and high-volume manufacturing processes.
Hands-on experience with prototype assembly, testing, characterization, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis of complex technical issues.
Proficiency in engineering and data analysis tools such as Python and MATLAB.
Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver results within defined timelines.
Strong problem-solving skills with a demonstrated ability to resolve complex technical challenges in cross-functional environments.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively across global teams.
Experience in mechanical, electro-mechanical, or opto-mechanical system design and support is preferred.
Willingness to travel internationally up to 20% as required.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mechatronics, or a related field, with relevant industry experience in complex mechanical or electro-mechanical systems.
