Mechanical Design Eng II

Mechanical Design Engineer II – Phoenix, AZ

Responsible for designing tooling, jigs, and equipment for processes involving chemicals and coatings, ensuring alignment with safety, ergonomics, cost efficiency, performance, and structural integrity. Serves as main contact for production process equipment and fixture designs.

• Tooling and Fixture Design
  • Create custom tooling, jigs, and fixtures using CAD (e.g., Solid Works, Creo), ensuring precision, repeatability, and compliance with manufacturability standards.
  • Incorporate material recommendations, cost analysis, GD&T, and tolerance considerations into design decisions.
  • Create a preventive maintenance plan for tooling and equipment.
  • Create jigs for coating processes to protect critical surfaces and maintain structural integrity under high temperature applications.
• Engineering Analysis and Simulation
  • Use FEA and other CAD tools to validate mechanical performance under chemical exposure, stress, vibration, or ergonomic constraints.
  • Iterate designs based on simulation data to optimize safety and durability.
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
  • Ensure all designs facilitate efficient manufacturing—considering fabrication methods (CNC, molding, coatings), assembly, ergonomics, cost, and maintainability.
  • Apply ergonomic principles to reduce operator strain and improve safety.
• Part Treatment Workstation Design
  • Liquid: etch, strip, rinse, passivation, spray.
  • Surface texturing: media blasting, other mechanical methods of surface texturing.
  • Develop and maintain process equipment requirements and specifications.
  • Develop and maintain process equipment work procedures (preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance).
  • Develop and implement training materials, examinations, and certifications regarding process equipment maintenance and operations.

• Cross‑Functional
  • Engage with production, quality, procurement, and safety teams to align tooling with process needs and regulatory standards.
  • Support manufacturing by resolving tool‑related issues and overseeing repairs or modifications.
• Documentation and Compliance
  • Produce detailed technical drawings, BOMs, ECOs, and maintenance instructions.
  • Maintain design revision history and documentation for safety and regulatory audit purposes.

• Superior leadership and interpersonal communication skills.
• High‑level troubleshooting skills coupled with a hands‑on approach to solving problems.
• Familiarity with Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing concepts and other process improvement methods.
• Knowledge and engineering approach in mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics and chemicals.
• Ability to read drawings and identify critical quality characteristics.
• Familiarity with wet chemistry processing, semiconductor tool consumables, semiconductor technology, critical cleaning technology, semiconductor processing, coating technologies, and CAD implementation including failure analysis software.
• Ability to work collaboratively with individuals at all levels, both within and outside the organization.
• Able to prioritize and manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.
• English writing and verbal communication; knowledge of Mandarin or Korean is a plus.
• Solid Works and AutoCAD, GD&T, FEA, tolerance analysis, material selection.
• Troubleshooting with cross‑functional team, creating BOM, ECO, and PM criteria, identifying critical to quality parameters.
• Design for Six Sigma (Preferred).

• Minimum
  
  B.Sc. degree in a sub‑field of engineering (mechanical preferred), materials from an accredited college or university. Experience in the semiconductor industry is an advantage.

• At least 1 year working as a Mechanical Engineer and/or technically oriented Design Engineer; 3 years of experience preferred.

• Professional office environment providing remote support to global UCT production environments.
• May work off cycle from standard local time to support active production in global time zones.
• Some travel is necessary at onboarding to be familiar with UCT processing needs.
• Exposure to fumes or airborne particles, moving mechanical parts and…
