Mechanical Engineer

• Key Responsibilities:
• Mechanical architecture: Define and own the mechanical package, including mobile platform integration, robot mounting structure, FOUP load port and enclosure design.
• Robot integration & automation: Select robots and end-effectors, run kinematics, reach and payload studies, and resolve hand-off requirements jointly with the tool team.
• Docking & levelling: Develop docking and auto-levelling mechanisms, including vibration control through the docking sequence.
• Wafer-handling environment: Engineer FFU/ETU airflow enclosures and cleanliness-compliant structures suited to wafer transfer duty.
• Analysis (FEA): Run structural, modal, vibration and thermal FEA across chassis, robot mounts and mechanical interfaces, and close out design gaps ahead of build release.
• CAD & GD&T: Deliver large-assembly 3D models, GD&T-controlled drawings to ASME Y14.5 and tolerance stack-ups in NX / Inventor / SolidWorks, maintaining full PDM/PLM discipline.
• DFM & source: Drive DFM/DFA and design reviews, own the BOM, and support supplier selection, quotations and long-lead procurement.
• Build & qualification: Lead prototype build, assembly and debug, and qualify docking, levelling, battery/charging integration and throughput through to tool deployment.
• Required Skills (Must-Have)
• Robotics & automation: Hands-on industrial robot integration, kinematics, reach/payload studies, end-effector design and automation cell build-up.
• AGV integration: AGV chassis integration covering drive, navigation, battery and charging.
• Wafer handling: Strong working proficiency in wafer-handling environments and their cleanliness requirements.
• FEA: Structural, modal, vibration and thermal simulation of frames, mounts and moving assemblies, with design decisions closed out from the results.
• GD&T: ASME Y14.5 dimensioning and tolerance stack-up analysis to secure repeatable docking and alignment.
• CAD: Ownership of large assemblies in NX / Inventor / SolidWorks, including drawing release and design documentation for procurement.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to lead design reviews and collaborate across global teams.
• * Qualifications & Experience:
• * B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering
• 8–12 years of experience across semiconductor capital equipment, robotics or factory automation.
• Proven ownership of at least one system taken from concept through prototype build to deployment.
• Effective cross-functional working with electrical, controls/software, safety and tool-integration teams.
• * Preferred to Have
• * SPM domain expertise.
• Exposure to SEMI S2/S8 safety standards and interlock-aware mechanical design.
• AGV/AMR deployment experience inside a fab or other high-cleanliness environment.
• DFMEA, supplier development and cross-site program execution.
