Back to jobsOwn the mechanical architecture of ion beam deposition and etch systems end to end — vacuum vessels, ion beam sources, wafer-handling stages, automation and robotics interfaces, and OEM component integration — making design trade-off decisions that balance performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability across the full system.
Lead engineering analysis and simulation — structural and thermal finite element analysis (FEA), heat transfer modeling, fluid dynamics, and motion mechanism design — to validate concepts, reduce prototype iterations, and build the analytical evidence base required at each Product Life Cycle (PLC) phase gate.
Drive prototype development from design through test, authoring design-of-experiments (DOE) plans, executing tests, performing root-cause analysis, and translating findings into documented engineering changes (ECOs) that accelerate time to production readiness.
Run design reviews that present design rationale, risk assessment, analysis results, and test data to cross-functional peers, senior leadership, and external customers — ensuring decisions are documented, actionable, and traceable.
Collaborate with Supply Chain and manufacturing on procurement decisions, vendor qualification, and build sequences, delivering technical guidance that keeps programs on schedule — and stepping onto the factory floor to troubleshoot assembly or integration issues in real time.
Mentor junior engineers by reviewing their designs, guiding their analytical methods, and progressively expanding their ownership of subsystem-level decisions — building the team's depth as program volume grows.
Define mechanical design specifications from customer requirements, translating them into measurable acceptance criteria and ensuring all designs comply with SEMI safety standards (S2/S8) and applicable regulatory codes.
