General Profile

The Advanced Commercialization Engineer IV for the New Product Commercial team (NPC) acts as a senior technical authority driving early commercialization of first‑in‑world semiconductor equipment by shaping architecture, manufacturability, cost intent, and supply readiness before design lock.

Operates at the front end of the product lifecycle to ensure design intent, supplier capability, and manufacturing strategy are aligned while leverage is highest.

Solves complex, ambiguous problems with a systems‑level perspective to enable scalable execution downstream

Provides technical program leadership across engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing to ensure early technical decisions translate into executable, scalable results.

Exercises significant judgment in balancing technical, commercial, and operational trade-offs.

Key Responsibilities

• Leads front-end commercialization engineering engagement during concept, architecture, and early design phases to influence manufacturability, cost, scalability, reliability, and serviceability.

• Provides advanced Design for Excellence (DFx) leadership (DfM, DfA, DfC, DfS, DfR, ITO, transportability) to drive early design decisions and prevent downstream issues.

• Engages suppliers as key technical partners, leading hands-on co-development, capability assessments, manufacturing process development, and TRM alignment for complex parts and assemblies. Works directly with suppliers and Design Engineering to ensure supplier capability and manufacturing learning influence design before lock.

• Acts as a technical co-owner of product definition, challenging architecture, material selection, tolerances, modularity, and integration decisions using data, modeling, and build experience.

• Applies should-cost principles and manufacturing process economics to identify and eliminate cost risk in design before it becomes a supplier negotiation problem; uses knowledge of process sequencing, GD&T implications, and feature complexity to challenge design decisions and prioritize DFx actions with the highest cost and producibility impact. Collaborates with Product Cost Engineering to validate cost assumptions and align on DFx recommendations.

• Defines and drives the Master Layout (MLO) strategy when design maturity is incomplete, determining the minimum viable layout content and interface definition required to enable Virtual Analysis (VA) progression.

• Executes Virtual Analysis (VA) using partial models and evolving designs, preserving design intent while identifying manufacturability, serviceability, and producibility risks; clearly documents assumptions, constraints, and required design clarifications.

• Influences Design Engineering to resolve ambiguity that blocks commercialization readiness, ensuring manufacturing strategy, producibility considerations, and supplier constraints are comprehended and reflected in the forward design path.

• Analyzes complex mechanical and electrical designs to ensure producibility and scalability; leads virtual analysis including Master Layout (MLO) and validates designs through supplier trials, lab activity, and early physical builds.

• Identifies and mitigates commercialization risks including RTM readiness, SPOFs, capacity constraints, long-lead components, cost risk, and quality exposure.

• Influences manufacturing and sourcing strategies in partnership with Design Engineering, Supply Chain, DFx, and Materials teams.

• Participates in and leads design reviews, providing authoritative DFx and commercialization input focused on cost, quality, cycle time, and scalability.

• Drives engineering build and ELS learning cycles, ensuring issues are captured, reviewed and mitigated while preserving DFx intent through launch and transition to NPI; ensures build and supplier learning is converted into permanent engineering action rather than deferred downstream.

• Partners with Program Management and Materials Program Management to track DFx and commercialization inputs as tangible program deliverables.

• Leads proactive elimination of design, supplier-process, and producibility risks across assigned subsystems, driving toward zero preventable SPSs. Ensures issues identified through VA, supplier engagement, and physical builds result in timely engineering-driven ESWs, ECOs, RCCA, and durable corrective action.

• Mentors less-experienced engineers and contributes to best-known methods (BKMs), tools, and processes.

• Develops and drives technical execution plans for DFx and commercialization workstreams from concept through early builds, aligned with overall program objectives.

• Provides technical execution leadership across DFx and commercialization workstreams: coordinates cross-functional resources, tracks and mitigates technical risks, and delivers grounded status and readiness assessments to Program Management and leadership - in partnership with TPMs and MPMs.

• Establishes and governs the approach for progressing commercialization and virtual validation when designs are incomplete, ensuring early decisions preserve architectural intent while enabling forward manufacturing and supplier strategies.

Functional Knowledge

Demonstrates depth and/or breadth of expertise in mechanical and/or electrical engineering disciplines with strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes - including machining, sheet metal, frames, plastics, and precision fabrication - DFx, and supplier engagement practices. Possesses working knowledge of should-cost principles and manufacturing process economics as applied to producibility and cost risk assessment; uses cost awareness to challenge design decisions and prioritize DFx actions. Possesses broad understanding of the product lifecycle from concept through commercialization.

Business Expertise

Interprets internal and external business challenges and market drivers; recommends product, process, or service improvements to enhance competitiveness, cost structure, and scalability.

Leadership

May lead functional teams or projects with moderate resource requirements, risk, and complexity. Acts as a technical influencer across engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing organizations.

Problem Solving

Leads cross‑functional teams to resolve complex, multi‑disciplinary technical issues with program‑level impact, balancing performance, cost, risk, and time‑to‑market. Forges a path forward in high ambiguity by translating incomplete design artifacts into a defensible MLO strategy and virtual validation plan, balancing design intent with commercialization, manufacturability, and supplier reality.

Impact

Impacts the achievement of customer, operational, and program objectives by influencing technical decisions, execution readiness, and cross‑functional alignment across multiple organizations.

Interpersonal Skills

Communicates complex technical concepts clearly and persuasively. Negotiates and influences others to adopt different points of view across disciplines and organizational boundaries.

Education

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Process Engineering, or related engineering discipline. Advanced knowledge of manufacturing process engineering or process economics is a differentiating asset at this level.

Experience

Typically 7-10 years of relevant engineering experience in product development, DFx, new product manufacturing, supplier engineering, or commercialization.
