Mechanical Design Engineer

JD: Position Summary The Mechanical Engineer – Core Design plays a key role in the design and development of semiconductor equipment, mechanical modules, sheet-metal structures, precision assemblies, and complex subsystems. The role requires strong expertise in UG NX, GD&T, Sheet Metal, Tolerance Stack-up, Semiconductor Fabrication Processes, Material Selection, SOM, and FEA (Structural & Thermal). This engineer will lead concept creation, detailed design, validation, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver high-quality mechanical solutions. 1. Key Responsibilities Core Mechanical Design: Create detailed 3D models and assemblies using UG NX, develop innovative concepts, apply DFM/DFA principles, and conduct trade-off analysis. GD&T & Tolerance Engineering: Apply ASME Y14.5 standards, conduct 2D/3D tolerance stack-ups, and validate critical tolerances. Sheet Metal & Machined Component Design: Design enclosures, brackets, frames, and apply sheet-metal design rules including bend allowances and manufacturability. Semiconductor Fabrication Process Knowledge: Understand vacuum design, plasma interaction, thermal loads, contamination control, and process module interfaces. Material Selection & SOM: Select materials based on mechanical, thermal, chemical, and vacuum criteria; develop SOM documentation and risk analysis. FEA – Structural & Thermal: Perform structural/thermal analysis, evaluate static/dynamic loads, perform modal studies, and validate heat dissipation. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with electrical, systems, manufacturing, supply chain, and reliability teams; drive design reviews. Testing, Validation & Release: Support prototype builds, perform functional testing, implement ECOs, and release designs through PLM tools. 2. Required Technical Skills UG NX (Expert Level) GD&T (ASME Y14.5) Sheet Metal Design and Drafting Tolerance Stack-up (Worst Case & Statistical) Semiconductor Fabrication Process Knowledge Material Selection for Vacuum & Cleanroom Applications Structural & Thermal FEA (ANSYS/Abaqus) SOM Documentation Knowledge DFM/DFA Application PLM Tools (Teamcenter/Windchill) 3. Professional Skills Strong communication and presentation abilities. Ability to lead technical discussions and decisions. Analytical problem-solving and root-cause analysis capability. Mentorship experience with junior engineers. 4. Education Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering or related field. 5. Experience Range 7–15 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design engineering, preferably in semiconductor equipment, high-tech capital machinery, robotics, or precision systems.
