What You’ll Work On

Precision mechanical systems for semiconductor and high-precision automation equipment

Motion systems, tolerance-critical assemblies, and system-level integrations

End-to-end product development — from concept design to manufacturing and customer deployment

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Design & Development

Translate system requirements into robust mechanical designs and sub-system specifications

Perform component selection, tolerance analysis, and motion system design to achieve high performance and reliability

Develop and validate design concepts aligned with engineering and manufacturing requirements

System Integration & Validation

Lead system integration, testing, and validation across development, manufacturing, and customer-site phases

Ensure systems meet performance, quality, and reliability expectations

Support troubleshooting and problem-solving during system build and commissioning

Project Ownership & Lifecycle Management

Manage engineering activities across the full product lifecycle, from concept through release to manufacturing

Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure timely project delivery

Drive technical issue resolution and continuous improvement initiatives

Collaboration & Vendor Management

Work closely with System, Electrical, and Manufacturing teams to ensure design feasibility

Lead internal teams or external partners in co-development projects

Manage vendors and contractors to deliver high-quality sub-systems

Deployment & Customer Support

Provide technical support during installation, commissioning, and customer-site deployment

Resolve field issues and support system performance improvements based on real-world feedback

What We’re Looking For
