About The Position

We are seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Assembly Production Engineer to support precision mechanical builds within a semiconductor cleanroom manufacturing environment. This role is responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining assembly processes to ensure high-quality, repeatable production of semiconductor equipment and subassemblies. The ideal candidate combines strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with hands-on manufacturing experience and a solid understanding of cleanroom operations, contamination control, and process discipline.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
3+ years of experience in mechanical assembly, manufacturing engineering, or semiconductor equipment production
Strong understanding of mechanical systems, precision assembly, and torque-controlled fastening
Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, GD&T, and technical documentation
Experience developing work instructions and manufacturing process documentation
Hands-on troubleshooting and root cause analysis experience
Familiarity with cleanroom environments and ESD best practices
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

Nice To Haves

Experience in semiconductor capital equipment manufacturing
Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies
Experience with process validation, FMEA, PFMEA, and control plans
Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing execution systems (MES)
Experience designing or implementing custom assembly fixtures and tooling
Prior chemical or chemistry-related experience, particularly in environments involving process chemicals, contamination control, or semiconductor manufacturing

Responsibilities

Develop, document, and maintain mechanical assembly processes for semiconductor equipment and precision subassemblies.
Create and update work instructions, process flows, torque specifications, and assembly standards.
Implement Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives within cleanroom operations.
Provide hands-on engineering support to cleanroom assembly teams.
Troubleshoot assembly issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
Support new product introductions (NPI) by transitioning designs into stable production processes.
Evaluate tooling, fixtures, and equipment to improve ergonomics, repeatability, and throughput.
Ensure assembly processes meet engineering specifications, quality standards, and cleanliness requirements.
Partner with Quality Engineering to support inspections, nonconformance investigations, and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).
Establish and monitor critical process parameters (CPPs) and quality metrics.
Maintain compliance with ISO standards, ESD controls, and cleanroom contamination-control protocols.
Collaborate with Design Engineering to review drawings for manufacturability (DFM).
Interpret and validate mechanical drawings, GD&T, and bills of materials (BOMs).
Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), Customer Process Change Requests (PCRs) and revision control processes.
Work closely with Supply Chain, Quality, and Production teams to ensure alignment and on-time delivery.
Adhere to semiconductor cleanroom standards, including gowning procedures and ESD controls.
Ensure tools, fixtures, and processes meet contamination control requirements.
Promote a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement within the manufacturing environment.
