Sr Mechanical Engineer, Automation

Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably.

We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.

• Hands-on work in the design, development, and optimization of semiconductor-grade equipment for handling, processing, and characterizing diamond wafer products
• Collaborate with vendors and cross-functional teams to design and integrate complex semiconductor equipment components and automation systems into production lines
• Work closely with manufacturing and process engineers to develop and implement automation solutions that enhance system efficiency, throughput, and reliability
• Generate clear, detailed documentation of equipment designs, integration processes, and troubleshooting procedures

• Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical, or a related field with 8-10 years of experience in equipment design especially automation equipment.
• Expertise in 3D/2D CAD (e.g., Solid Works, AutoCAD)
• Experience with automation such as robotics, fixturing, related manufacturing tools. PLC programming, robotics, Python, and related are helpful
• Experience with fabrication (e.g., machining, soldering, electro-mechanical assembly, lathe/mill, 3D printing, welding). Semiconductor experience is a bonus (e.g., wafer handling, deposition, etching)
• Experience in GD&T and conducting micron-level tolerance analysis
