Axcelis is a global leader in ion implantation and semiconductor technology. For more than four decades, we’ve been driving innovation in semiconductor manufacturing technology, working with the world’s leading chipmakers to power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll gain hands‑on experience, learn from industry experts, and make a real impact on projects that shape the future of technology.

As a Manufacturing Engineer I (Production Support), you’ll be exposed to the world of production operations that work with complex mechanical and electrical systems and strive to ensure we maintain efficient manufacturing processes.

• Support and continuously improve manufacturing systems for complex mechanical and electrical assemblies, including wire harnesses, robotic systems, pneumatic, vacuum, cooling, high‑pressure systems, and module build/test operations
• Provide daily support of contract manufacturing assembly and/or ion implanter system builds
• Design, develop, and implement production tooling, fixtures, and assembly aids to improve product quality, manufacturability, ergonomics, and operational efficiency
• Create, revise, and maintain manufacturing procedures, work instructions, and assembly documentation for modules, subassemblies, and final product builds
• Initiate and drive corrections to Bills of Materials (BOMs), routings, and engineering documentation to ensure compliance with form, fit, and function requirements while preserving design intent
• Improve manufacturing cell performance through the application of Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, Six Sigma, and other continuous improvement methodologies; establish and document standardized work using visual work instructions and best practices
• Lead root cause investigations for quality, process, and production issues using structured problem‑solving methodologies; develop and implement effective containment, corrective, and preventive actions
• Drive timely resolution of production, quality, and supply chain issues to minimize disruptions and maintain delivery commitments
• Collaborate closely with Design Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Operations teams to support new product introductions (NPI), engineering changes, and product lifecycle management activities
• Analyze manufacturing processes to estimate production costs, establish labor and cycle time standards, and recommend tooling, equipment, and process improvements for new and existing product lines
• Provide technical support to manufacturing personnel and serve as a key resource for troubleshooting assembly, test, and process‑related challenges
• Identify opportunities to improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance through process optimization, automation, and waste reduction initiatives

• Education:
  
  Typically requires a bachelor's degree in EE, ME, IE, or MFG ENG with 0-2 year of professional experience.
• Experience with basic engineering tools such as Solid Works/Creo, AutoCAD, or Draft Sight
• Familiarity with mechanical and electrical equipment such as calipers, hand tools, DMMs, etc.
• Capable of interpreting and analyzing engineering drawings, electrical schematics, 3D CAD models, BOMs, and GD&T specifications to support product manufacturing and process development
