Candidates will work in a dynamic environment focused on innovation and collaboration with various engineering teams. The position emphasizes the complete design process, from concept to testing, ensuring adherence to specifications and manufacturability. Successful candidates will contribute to the development of cutting-edge technologies in the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.

Requirements

  • Master's Level Degree or 0 years of work experience, or Bachelor's Level Degree or 1 year of work experience.
  • Good understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals such as precision machine design, thermodynamics, and structural analysis.
  • Basic knowledge of optics, lasers, and sensors.
  • Experience in detail drawing creation and application and interpretation of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (ASME Y14.5).
  • Experience in 3D solid/CAD modeling, preferably with Creo/Parametric.
  • Experience in structural finite element analysis (FEA), preferably ANSYS Mechanical.
  • Familiarity with engineering materials and manufacturing processes.

Responsibilities

  • Design mechanical and optomechanical parts and subsystems for advanced image sensor calibration systems.
  • Drive and be responsible for the complete design process, including requirements, concept, design, testing, BOM structure, and scheduling.
  • Perform calculations and computer simulations to verify functionality of parts and mechanisms.
  • Work cross-functionally to implement design best practices into product design that meets requirements and specifications.
  • Conduct various analyses, such as thermal, vibration, and FEA modeling, and create detailed drawings.
  • Develop required supporting documentation, such as assembly and test procedures.
  • Collaborate with other engineering groups to ensure flawless integration and subsystem tests.
