- Design components using a variety of metals, ceramics, quartz, plastics, and advanced coatings.
- Ensure documentation aligns with SEMI, Lam standards, and industry best practices for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
- Conduct detailed analysis including structural, finite element analysis (FEA), thermal, heat transfer, stress, vibrations, fluid and gas flow dynamics, and manufacturability to properly specify designs.
- Develop and conduct feasibility studies and test plans to characterize and validate design performance.
- Prepare high-quality reports and technical presentations to clearly communicate design intent, evaluation, and validation to a diverse audience in design reviews.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 2+ years of experience; or an advanced degree without previous professional experience; or equivalent experience.
- Proficient in 3D CAD tools such as CREO, Siemens NX, ProE, SolidWorks, and others.
- Hands-on experimental and design background coupled with solid engineering skills.
Nice to have
