TL;DR · Mechanical Engineer 3

As a Mechanical Engineer within the Fixture Engineering team at a leading semiconductor company, you will lead the conceptual design and system architecture of custom tooling and fixtures that enable safe, efficient, and repeatable assembly and testing of complex equipment. Your responsibilities include driving early phase problem definition and feasibility assessments, guiding detailed design work, and ensuring compliance with industry standards such as SEMI and GD&T. You will use advanced engineering analysis tools like FEA and thermal simulations to develop robust solutions, collaborate with cross-functional teams for manufacturability, and mentor junior engineers while contributing to the establishment of best practices. The role requires a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with 8+ years of experience, proficiency in 3D CAD tools such as CREO or Siemens NX, and hands-on design expertise in high-tech manufacturing environments.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design and development of mechanical systems and fixtures for semiconductor assembly and testing.
  • Perform detailed engineering analyses including FEA, thermal, structural, vibration, and fluid dynamics assessments.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards such as SEMI and GD&T guidelines.
  • Develop and execute feasibility studies and validation strategies for new products.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the establishment of engineering best practices.
  • Deliver essential product development artifacts like FMEA, risk assessments, and test documentation.
  • Collaborate with suppliers and cross-functional teams to ensure manufacturability and optimal cost.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of mechanical engineering experience in semiconductor or high-tech industries.
  • Expertise in 3D CAD tools like CREO, Siemens NX, Inventor, SolidWorks.
  • Strong understanding of industry standards (SEMI, ANSI, DIN) and GD&T practices.
  • Experience designing production support equipment including assembly fixtures and test stands.
  • Background in factory operations and design for manufacturability in high-mix, low-volume environments.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to present technical concepts effectively.
