Mechanical engineer

Applied Materials•Benicia, CA

12d•$124,000 - $171,000

About The Position

As a Mechanical Engineer at Applied Materials, you will use knowledge of physics, mathematics, and materials science to resolve mechanical problems, design and implement custom mechanical tooling and related processes, and enable the handling, assembly, and disassembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies throughout the product life cycle. You will design, develop, and modify mechanical engineering layouts, schematics, and specifications; oversee manufacturing and installation processes for compliance with industry standards and regulations; and coordinate procurement and assembly of mechanical components and equipment for design projects, identifying sources of critical parts and subsystems to resolve technical issues. The role involves identifying and troubleshooting difficult mechanical problems, performing engineering analysis, defining and documenting tests, and developing mechanical designs and specifications. You may technically lead or execute projects, develop key suppliers, establish operational standards, and communicate complex or sensitive information to build consensus. This is a full-time regular position based in Benicia, California, with 10% travel. Relocation is not available.
