• 3+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design and analysis, semiconductor capital equipment design experience preferred

• Hands-on experience with semiconductor equipment conceptual design and experience with equipment troubleshooting
• Experience with designing and working with 3D models including large assemblies and components preferred
• Proficient in simulation and analysis (FEA, thermal analysis, and tolerance stack-up analysis)
• In-depth knowledge in the following fields: Thermal, Fluid flow, Design & Manufacturing processes
• Experience in Vacuum technologies, 3D CAD modeling (NX in Teamcenter environment strongly preferred), knowledge of thermal and heat transfer systems, Fluid management systems (gas flow and/or liquid flow)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to form effective cross-functional relationships and to communicate product design/mechanical requirements clearly to non-experts
• Ability to prioritize and handle multiple projects simultaneously

• Design and implementation of hardware solutions on new and existing tool portfolio
• Independently, develops and implements concepts for range of significantly complex product issues and engineering solutions
• Technically lead and/or execute engineering projects and spearhead research and development of new technologies, as appropriate
• Interface with internal and external customers regarding significantly complex engineering issues to address customers High Value Problems (HVP) for a range of products
• Identifying design tradeoffs and risks to choose best path to solution
• Identifying and performing experiments, data analysis and applying scientific methods to reduce design risk early
• Lead multiple projects for design and CIP of semiconductor manufacturing and advanced packaging tools, from concept to implementation in the lab
• Lead system install and startup, as well as further CIP cycles if needed
• Specify or perform significantly complex engineering analysis
• Run analysis (tolerance stack-up, structural, thermal, flow etc.) to prove designs will meet intended objectives
• Interface with simulation experts to specify and understand results of mechanical and thermal FEA modeling
• Define, coordinate, perform, and document engineering test reports with limited supervision
• Develop, design, or modify mechanical engineering layouts/schematics and/or detailed drawings/specifications/documentation
• Design and procure complete test set ups to validate proposed concepts prior to final implementation
• Works with electrical, process or software engineers as needed to develop new concepts in the lab
• May be responsible for the design, development, and implementation of custom mechanical tooling, fixturing, and associated processes to enable the handling, assembly and/or disassembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies and final assemblies

• Has knowledge of best practices; is aware of the competition and the factors that differentiate them in the market
• Anticipates business and regulatory issues; recommends product and process improvements

• Acts as a resource for colleagues with less experience; may lead small projects with manageable risks and resource requirements

• Solves complex problems; takes a new perspective on existing solutions; exercises judgment based on the analysis of multiple sources of information

• Impacts a range of project activities within their own team and other related teams; works within broad guidelines and policies

• Explains difficult or sensitive information; works to build consensus
• Communicates complex ideas, anticipates potential objections, and persuades others, often at senior levels, to adopt a different point of view
