Production Engineer

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Assembly Production Engineer to support precision mechanical builds within a semiconductor cleanroom manufacturing environment. This role is responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining assembly processes to ensure high-quality, repeatable production of semiconductor equipment and subassemblies.

The ideal candidate combines strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with hands‑on manufacturing experience and a solid understanding of cleanroom operations, contamination control, and process discipline.

• Develop, document, and maintain mechanical assembly processes for semiconductor equipment and precision subassemblies
• Create and update work instructions, process flows, torque specifications, and assembly standards
• Implement Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives within cleanroom operations

• Provide hands‑on engineering support to cleanroom assembly teams
• Troubleshoot assembly issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions
• Support new product introductions (NPI) by transitioning designs into stable production processes
• Evaluate tooling, fixtures, and equipment to improve ergonomics, repeatability, and throughput

• Ensure assembly processes meet engineering specifications, quality standards, and cleanliness requirements
• Partner with Quality Engineering to support inspections, nonconformance investigations, and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA)
• Establish and monitor critical process parameters (CPPs) and quality metrics
• Maintain compliance with ISO standards, ESD controls, and cleanroom contamination‑control protocols

• Collaborate with Design Engineering to review drawings for manufacturability (DFM)
• Interpret and validate mechanical drawings, GD&T, and bills of materials (BOMs)
• Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), Customer Process Change Requests (PCRs) and revision control processes
• Work closely with Supply Chain, Quality, and Production teams to ensure alignment and on‑time delivery

• Adhere to semiconductor cleanroom standards, including gowning procedures and ESD controls
• Ensure tools, fixtures, and processes meet contamination control requirements
• Promote a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement within the manufacturing environment

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
• 3 years of experience in mechanical assembly, manufacturing engineering, or semiconductor equipment production
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, precision assembly, and torque‑controlled fastening
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, GD&T, and technical documentation
• Experience developing work instructions and manufacturing process documentation
• Hands‑on troubleshooting and root cause analysis experience
• Familiarity with cleanroom environments and ESD best practices
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills

• Experience in semiconductor capital equipment manufacturing
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience with process validation, FMEA, PFMEA, and control plans
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing execution systems (MES)
• Experience designing or implementing custom assembly fixtures and tooling
• Prior chemical or chemistry‑related experience, particularly in environments involving process chemicals, contamination control, or semiconductor manufacturing

This position operates within a semiconductor cleanroom manufacturing environment
. The role requires wearing cleanroom gowning and PPE for extended periods and may involve hands‑on support on the production floor.

• Adaptability – Adapts to changes in the work environment; manages competing demands; changes approach or method to best fit the situation; able to deal with frequent change, delays, or unexpected events.
• Attendance/Punctuality – Is consistently at work and on time; ensures work…
