Mechanical Engineer III -(E3)

Applied Materials•Santa Clara, CA

2d•$124,000 - $171,000

About The Position

Applied Materials is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to apply a strong foundation in physics, mathematics, and materials science to resolve mechanical problems; design and implement custom mechanical tooling and associated processes; and enable the handling, assembly, and disassembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies throughout the product life cycle. The role designs, develops, and modifies mechanical engineering layouts, schematics, and specifications. It also oversees manufacturing and installation processes for adherence to industry standards and regulations, and coordinates procurement and assembly of mechanical components and equipment for design projects, identifying sources of critical parts and subsystems to resolve technical issues. The Mechanical Engineer identifies and troubleshoots difficult mechanical problems, conducts and documents engineering tests and analyses, and may technically lead or execute projects. The position develops suppliers and mechanical product specifications, establishes standards across operational processes, implements solutions for complex product issues, and communicates complex or sensitive information to build consensus. The role is based in Santa Clara, California, is full-time, and requires travel 10% of the time. Relocation is eligible.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree.
4–7 years of experience.
Demonstrated experience with CAD software, thermodynamics, sheet metal design, material selection, manufacturing methods, GD&T, flow analysis, and/or Design for Excellence principles.

Nice To Haves

Semiconductor background preferred.
Knowledge of the Applied Materials product life cycle, including prototyping, packaging, material selection, and manufacturing methods.

Responsibilities

Identify and troubleshoot a variety of difficult mechanical problems with limited supervision.
