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.
