Mechanical Engineer III -(E3)

Applied Materials•Santa Clara, CA

About The Position

Applied Materials is hiring a Mechanical Engineer III to address mechanical engineering challenges in semiconductor and advanced-display equipment. The role uses knowledge of physics, mathematics, and materials science to resolve mechanical problems, design and implement custom tooling and associated processes, and support the handling, assembly, and disassembly of parts, components, subassemblies, and final assemblies across the product life cycle. The engineer will design, develop, and modify mechanical engineering layouts, schematics, drawings, and specifications; perform engineering analysis and testing; and help oversee manufacturing and installation processes. The role also includes coordinating procurement and assembly of mechanical components and equipment, identifying critical suppliers and parts, and resolving technical issues. The position is based in Santa Clara, California, and requires travel 10% of the time. Relocation is available.
