This role is for a senior mechanical engineer at KLA, focusing on the development of complex mechanical systems for advanced e-beam inspection tools. The position involves significant technical ownership and collaboration across various engineering disciplines to address challenges in semiconductor technology. The team is dedicated to delivering high-impact solutions that enhance manufacturing processes and product quality. This opportunity allows for hands-on engineering while influencing the architecture of future platforms.

• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with experience designing complex electromechanical or precision-engineered systems.
• Experience on vacuum chamber design is required.
• High voltage related design experience is desired.
• Demonstrated experience owning hardware or subsystem development from concept through integration and validation.
• Strong knowledge of precision machine design, including GD&T, tolerance analysis, materials, machine elements, and fabrication methods.
• Experience with mechanical analysis and simulation, such as structural, thermal, vibration, fluid, or FEA.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD tools; Creo/ProE experience is beneficial.
• Experience integrating mechanical hardware into complex multidisciplinary systems.
• Ability to lead technical decisions, communicate trade-offs, and drive resolution of complex engineering problems.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and communication skills.

• Lead the development of complex mechanical subsystems and contribute to overall platform architecture.
• Translate customer, product, and system needs into clear engineering requirements and technical solutions.
• Drive technical decisions with a high degree of independence, including feasibility studies, trade-off analysis, risk retirement, and requirements definition.
• Own solutions throughout the full development lifecycle, from concept and detailed design through prototype, integration, validation, release, and production.
• Develop mechanical designs and engineering drawings using 3D CAD tools.
• Lead or perform engineering analysis including thermal, fluid, vibration, structural, tolerance, and finite element analysis.
• Drive prototype builds, material procurement, subsystem integration, system-level testing, and performance validation.
• Lead design reviews and technical discussions across multidisciplinary and cross-division teams.
• Partner with manufacturing and suppliers to improve manufacturability, scalability, quality, and technical readiness.
• Develop assembly, integration, test, troubleshooting, and service procedures to support production and field teams.
• Lead resolution of complex system integration, manufacturing, and field issues.
• Capture and communicate best-known methods to strengthen organizational capability.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance across multiple experience levels.
• Influence technology roadmaps and the architecture of future product platforms.
