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.
