Senior Engineer II, Mechanical Engineering
ASM
Job Description
Senior Engineer II, Mechanical Engineering Responsibilities Design and develop mechanical systems and components for semiconductor equipment, applying sound engineering principles, product specifications, and research data. Perform engineering calculations related to structural, thermal, and fluid dynamics to support robust and reliable designs. Create and maintain Creo Parametric 3D CAD models and detailed drawings, ranging from individual parts to complex assemblies.
Evaluate the feasibility of product proposals, resolve technical issues, and develop new designs in compliance with product safety and design standards. Manage Continuous Improvement Projects (CIPs) and ensure clear communication across teams and with external partners. Prepare complete and clear engineering documentation to support prototype builds, manufacturing, and testing of released products.
Support engineering project activities, including report preparation, schedule planning, design reviews, and coordination with cross‑functional teams. Establish product configurations and structures for new products and features in both development and manufacturing environments. Participate in and present at design reviews for new designs, product enhancements, and customer‑specific solutions.
Support hardware development, installation, and testing to verify performance; create, review, and approve test plans and test procedures. Interface with manufacturing, suppliers, and other engineering teams to ensure smooth product transfer into the manufacturing cycle. Review and process engineering change requests (ECR/ECO) and support continuous product and process improvements.
Travel to customer or supplier sites as needed to support technical discussions and project execution. Maintain a strong commitment to safety in all activities. Qualifications Master’s degree in mechanical engineering or related disciplines.
Several years of hands‑on experience in mechanical design and development of complex systems within semiconductor or capital equipment industries. Practical experience with mechanical systems such as vacuum chambers, reactors, susceptor heaters, gas delivery systems, pneumatics, cooling circuits. Ability to perform simulation and engineering analysis (e.g., structural, thermal, fluid dynamics) to support robust and reliable designs.
Proficiency in Creo (or equivalent CAD tools) and ability to create detailed engineering drawings. Solid understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical design fundamentals. Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a cross‑functional, fast‑paced environment.
Additional Desired Qualifications PhD in Mechanical Engineering or related degree. Experience with semiconductor deposition equipment (ALD, CVD). Strong capability to run and interpret multiphysics simulations (structural, thermal, CFD) and apply the results to improve design specifications.
Experience with susceptor heaters, vacuum and electrostatic chucks. Proficiency in GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5 and/or ISO 1101). Experience supporting products through the full lifecycle, from concept and design to manufacturing release.
Ability to independently manage technical tasks while contributing effectively as a team player.
