Opto-Mechanical Design Engineer
About The Position
The Opto-Mechanical Design Engineer will design mechanical and optomechanical parts and subsystems for advanced image sensor calibration systems. The role owns the complete design process, from requirements and concept development through detailed design, testing, BOM structure, and scheduling. The engineer will use calculations and computer simulations to verify part and mechanism functionality, and work cross-functionally to implement design best practices while meeting product requirements, specifications, SEMI standards, manufacturability targets, and cost targets. The work includes thermal, vibration, and finite element analysis; conceptual and detailed design using Creo/Parametric (Pro/E); detailed drawings and design review presentations; prototype-part procurement; system integration and prototype testing; and handoff to manufacturing. The engineer will collaborate with Systems and Manufacturing Engineers to support integration and subsystem testing, and will develop supporting documentation such as assembly and test procedures.
Requirements
- Master's degree, or bachelor's degree with at least 1 year of work experience; alternatively, a master's degree with 0 years of work experience.
- Good understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals, including precision machine design, thermodynamics, and structural analysis.
- Basic knowledge of optics, lasers, and sensors.
- Ability to generate conceptual and detailed designs for mechanical parts and subsystems and analytically evaluate design feasibility.
- Ability to perform assembly, testing, and troubleshooting at prototype and integrated-system levels.
- Experience creating detail drawings and applying and interpreting geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (ASME Y14.5).
- Experience with 3D solid/CAD modeling.
- Experience in structural finite element analysis (FEA).
- Familiarity with engineering materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and plastics.
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, and plating.
- Strong organizational and time-management skills.
- Self-motivated team player with excellent verbal and written communication skills.
