Mechanical Engineer II

Design automation mechanisms and electromechanical systems for semiconductor IC test handling equipment.

Originally posted 8 April 2026 by the employer. Relisted by the employer on 11 November 2026.

About the role

This role focuses on developing mechanical solutions for new product introductions and enhancing existing automation platforms. You will engineer automation equipment, mechanisms, and electromechanical systems used in semiconductor handling equipment to test ICs.

What you'll do

• Conceptualize, design, and develop automation and mechanical technologies, including prototypes, testing, and transfer to high-volume production.
• Lead engineering efforts for new and existing mechanical and electromechanical systems, assemblies, and processes.
• Perform mechanical analysis to validate design feasibility and risk.
• Create detailed drawings, assemblies, BOMs, alignment procedures, and engineering documentation.
• Conduct functional, reliability, and performance testing, and qualify new vendor components.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, and vision engineering teams across local and remote sites.

What you'll need

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design.
• Strong background in mechanism design, including gears, racks, bearings, actuators, linkages, motors, cylinders, and vacuum components.
• Experience developing automation or robotic systems.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation.
• Working knowledge of materials, coatings, plastics, manufacturing processes, GD&T, and design for manufacturability.

Nice to have

• Exposure to thermal systems, heat transfer, CFD, or thermal-mechanical FEA.
• Experience with MTBF, FMEA, or reliability engineering.
• Ability to interpret and analyze lab data or field system data.

Skills: mechanical design, mechanism design, automation, SolidWorks, GD&T
