R&D Mechanical Design Engineer

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Design and develop high-precision semiconductor equipment to meet the processing and automation needs of customers. To succeed in this position, you need to:

. Understand the design specification given to you by the design lead.

. Understand the company's design standards and best practices.

. Understand the constraints within which your design must work.

. Understand geometric tolerances and dimensional analyses.

. Choose components based on an understanding of function, reliability, and costs.

. Choose materials based on an understanding of materials science and engineering.

. Understand design for manufacturability/assembly.

. Work with the Electrical Engineer to choose drives and electrical components (if any).

. Discuss with the Software Engineer on any interlocking logic requirements.

. Lay the design concept down in the 3D CAD.

. Perform DFMEA during the design process.

. Submit the CAD module to the system integrator to check for interface issues.

. Review the design with the design lead.

. Put the part designs down on drawings, carefully specifying tolerances and specifications.

. Build the module BOM.

. Procure the module components.

. Review the assembly of the physical module.

. Perform design improvements where appropriate.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

. BE/BS Mechanical Engineering.

. 0-3 years experience in designing and developing automated equipment.

. 3D solid modeling, preferably Creo (others like Solidworks, NX are also acceptable).

. Electro-mechanical module conceptualization and design.

. Pneumatic/fluid circuit design.

. Detail fabrication drawings, assembly drawings and layout drawings.

. Selection and sizing of standard components available off the shelf.

Preferred experience

. Ultra high-precision machine design.

. High-speed pick and place mechanism design.

. Structural, kinematics and dynamic analyses and FEA simulations.

. Geometrical tolerancing and dimensional analyses.

. Engineering material selection.

. Manufacturing process selection.

. Application of analysis tools like FMEA, DOE.
