Mechanical Engineer

Level: Senior

Reports to: Engineering Manager

Responsibilities:

• May work as a team lead, team member or independently.
• Concept development – complex mechanical and vacuum systems.
• Develop performance requirements. Conduct trade-off studies and conduct design reviews.
• Select and size components and equipment including but not limited to vacuum equipment, drive components, actuators, motion stages, process and mechanical control sensors.
• Develop test plans and may conduct testing.
• Create full suite of engineering documentation, including but not limited to detail drawings, assembly drawings, P&ID’s, and renderings.
• May be required to check drawings and models of other team members.
• Part creation and management in ERP.
• Work with vendors. Assist with inspection and vendor selection.
• Support assembly and testing operations as required.
• Select OEM components based on design input requirements.
• When required, perform analyses by FEA/CFD and classical methods. Generate the computations as required for equipment sizing, data reduction, kinematic motion studies, and definition of mechanical utilities.

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of design experience: semi-conductor, vacuum technology, and/or robotics experience preferred: enterprise level capital equipment may be acceptable as an alternate.
