TL;DR · Mechanical Engineer III

As a Mechanical Engineer at Applied Materials, you will join our engineering team as an experienced professional responsible for the design, development, and validation of complex mechanical systems used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Your day-to-day responsibilities include leading the mechanical design and development of equipment modules from concept through release, performing detailed engineering analysis such as stress, thermal, tolerance, and vibration assessments, and creating 3D models using CAD tools like Creo or NX. You will also drive initiatives for manufacturability, assembly, reliability, and cost reduction while collaborating with cross-functional teams including electrical engineers, systems engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and vendors to ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards. Strong proficiency in 3D CAD tools and PLM systems, along with experience in semiconductor capital equipment and vacuum systems, is essential for this role.

What you'll do

  • Lead mechanical design and development from concept through release.
  • Perform detailed engineering analysis for stress, thermal, tolerance, and vibration.
  • Create and review 3D models, drawings, and documentation using CAD tools.
  • Drive DFM, DFA, reliability, and cost reduction initiatives in designs.
  • Support prototype builds, integration, qualification testing, and troubleshooting.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of mechanical design experience in complex systems or precision equipment.
  • Strong proficiency in 3D CAD tools (Creo, NX, or equivalent) and PLM systems.
  • Expertise in engineering fundamentals: structural mechanics, materials, GD&T, manufacturing processes.
  • Experience with semiconductor capital equipment, vacuum systems, wafer handling, robotics.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with global teams on high-quality, manufacturable solutions.
