Mechanical Engineer III - (E3)

As a Mechanical Engineer, you’ll leverage your strong foundation in physics, mathematics, and materials science to process and resolve mechanical problems, design and implement custom mechanical tooling and associated processes, and enable the handling, assembly, and disassembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies throughout the product life cycle.

You'll be responsible for designing, developing, and modifying mechanical engineering layouts, schematics, and specifications. You will oversee manufacturing and installation processes, ensuring adherence to industry standards and regulations-- and you'll coordinate the procurement and assembly of mechanical components and equipment for design projects, identifying sources of critical parts and subsystems to resolve technical issues.

This role focuses on the design, analysis, and testing of advanced electrostatic chucks (ESC) for plasma etch applications. The position offers hands-on experience with complex thermal, mechanical, electrical, and materials challenges in advanced semiconductor hardware.

• Identify and troubleshoot a variety of difficult mechanical problems with limited supervision
• Define, coordinate, perform, and document engineering tests; analyze results and generate reports
• Develop and modify mechanical designs of difficult scope, including 3D models and engineering drawings
• Perform engineering analysis of difficult scope with limited supervision
• Technically lead or execute projects; develop key suppliers and generate product specifications
• Design, develop and implement custom mechanical tooling, fixturing and associated processes; enable the handling, assembly and/or disassembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies; establish standards across all operational processes
• Specify and review engineering documentation
• Implement concepts for a variety of complex product issues and mechanical solutions
• Clearly communicate complex or sensitive information; build consensus

• Bachelor’s degree
• 4-7 years of experience
• Demonstrated experience with CAD software, thermodynamics, material selection, manufacturing methods, GD&T, flow analysis and/or Design for Excellence principles

• Familiarity with engineering simulation tools such as ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics, or similar FEA/CFD software
