Senior Mechanical Engineer
KLA Rapid Division is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer, responsible for the mechanical design and integration of advanced semiconductor inspection systems, including EUV actinic defect inspection platforms.
This role focuses on system-level packaging, facility integration, and infrastructure design in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments. The engineer will work cross-functionally to deliver robust, manufacturable, and serviceable solutions for complex tool architectures.
Key Responsibilities- Lead the mechanical packaging and integration of subsystem infrastructure, including:
- Electrical cabinets and power distribution systems
- Electrical interconnects and cable routing
- Gas, water, and vacuum distribution systems
- Develop and optimize routing strategies for cables, gas lines, and fluid systems to meet serviceability, manufacturability, and cost targets
- Define and support fab and sub-fab layouts, including facility hook-ups and installation planning
- Design acoustic, vibration, and thermal enclosures for precision equipment
- Perform and support thermal, structural, and vibration analysis to ensure system performance
- Create and maintain engineering documentation, including:
- P&IDs
- System layouts and assembly drawings
- Interface control documentation
- Drive cross-functional collaboration with electrical, systems, manufacturing, and field teams
- Support design reviews, risk assessments, and structured problem-solving efforts (RCCA/8D)
- Interface with suppliers and internal stakeholders to ensure schedule and quality execution
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- 5+ years of experience in semiconductor capital equipment or similar complex systems
- Experience designing and integrating systems in UHV or cleanroom environments
- Proficiency in PTC Creo (3D CAD, assemblies, detailing)
- Experience with PDM/PLM systems (e.g., Windchill)
- Strong understanding of:
- P&IDs and fluid system design
- Electrical cabinet packaging and power distribution
- Gas, water, and vacuum systems integration
- Experience with thermal and structural analysis methodologies
- Expertise in cable and tubing routing in highly constrained environments
- Familiarity with semiconductor fab infrastructure and facility integration
- Knowledge of vibration isolation and acoustic design techniques
- Experience with SEMI standards (S2, S8, S10)
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration
- Effective planning and execution in a matrixed environment
- Creative problem-solving with structured methodologies (e.g., RCCA, 8D)
- Ability to balance innovative design with practical constraints
- Contributes to subsystem and system-level design decisions
- Works under general direction; independent in execution of assignments
- Influences cross-functional teams and design outcomes
- Supports delivery of next-generation EUV inspection platforms
- Primary focus on system packaging and facility integration
- Heavy cross-functional interaction with electrical, facilities, and manufacturing teams
- Critical role for tool install success and field reliability
