About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer 2 will be responsible for generating mechanical design concepts, conducting feasibility studies, and participating in design reviews for various projects. This role involves specifying, supervising, and performing engineering analysis in areas such as wafer transfer methods, mechanism design, and wafer temperature management. The engineer may also be responsible for the design, development, and implementation of custom mechanical tooling and fixturing. Key deliverables include design proposals, solid models, 2D drawings, bills of material, ECOs, test specifications, and product specifications. The position requires managing communications with internal and external customers and vendors, and working with software applications like SAP, Pro-E (Creo), and SharePoint. Hands-on work in the engineering lab and manufacturing may be required to support installations and testing. Problem-solving will involve analytical techniques and knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, stress analysis, and Finite Element Analysis.
