Mechanical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Perform design of semiconductor equipment chamber and support systems according to functional and engineering specifications that meet performance, quality, reliability, cost, and schedule targets.
• Assure system quality and reliability by designing and performing test procedures.
• Conduct technical reviews of process requirements, specifications, standards, and design.
• Identify problems of a wide range of complex mechanical problems by taking a broad analytical perspective.
• Conduct concept and feasibility studies, research and development, and validation of new and modified designs.
• Support personnel in the generation of detailed engineering documentation required to effectively manufacture components and subsystems for prototypes and volume manufacturing.

Mandatory

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with 10 years of semiconductor tool design experience, especially in deposition systems.
• Familiarity with major CAD / CAE engineering tools.
• Familiarity with ASME Y14.5, SEMI, and other relevant standards and their use.
• Familiarity with systems engineering models and tools.
• Familiarity with design of critical mechanical systems for advanced semiconductor processing equipment, including process chambers, vacuum systems, gas and liquid chemical delivery, and controls in temperature, pressure, valve, and motion.
• Basic knowledge of classical fluid, heat & mass transfer.
• Participating in design reviews, reviewing, and providing feedback on others' work including presentations, drawings and models.
• Ability to work in a team and work with guidance in complex situations.

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering.
• Proficiency with NX and Teamcenter.
• Familiarity with basic CFD for gas dynamics.
• Experience in the development or design of plasma and/or thermal CVD/ALD semiconductor reactor components (e.g., high temp wafer heaters, gas distribution shower heads, electrostatic chucks, wafer lift mechanisms, bellows) and/or subsystems/support systems (e.g., liquid precursor delivery, vacuum systems, temperature control systems).
• Experience with metal deposition systems is a plus, especially with plasma assisted deposition systems.

The salary offered to a selected candidate will be based on location and level and will vary depending on confirmed job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to a comprehensive benefits package, candidates may be eligible for other forms of compensation such as participation in a bonus and a pre-public stock award program, as applicable.
