Job Description:

• Design of precision components, modules and subsystems to support the design of the next generation cutting edge reticle inspection tools.

• These tasks will require working with other engineering groups such as Optics engineers, Systems engineers and Manufacturing + Service engineers to ensure flawless integration and test at the subsystem and system level.

• Work closely with and manage suppliers to ensure all design requirements are specified and achieved.

• Address and resolve product issues through the product development phases.

Responsibilities:

Responsible for the complete design process, including:

• Driving requirements specification

• Feasibility studies

• Cost and scheduling

• Conceptual and detailed design, detailed drawings, using 3D solid modeling (ProE/Creo)

• Conducting various analysis, such as fluid, thermal, vibrational, and FEA modeling

• Understanding of Geometric Tolerancing (GD&T)

• Detailed tolerance stack-up analysis

• Participate in and lead design reviews to obtain a peer-oriented design assessment throughout design process

• Procurement of prototype parts

• Prototype assembly and testing

• System integration and testing

• Create assembly and test procedures

• Documentation release and handoff to manufacturing.

Design challenges may include:

• Optomechanical & precision mechanism design

• Design for functionality in ultra-high and ultra-clean vacuum

• Precision stage and actuation/adjustment design

Required Skills:

• Strong leadership, communication and problem solving skills.

• Minimum 5 years work experience in 3D solid modeling

• Minimum 3 years work experience in FEA, GD&T

• Ability to lead small design team desirable.

• Strong background in the design of mechanisms.

• Basic understanding of optical subsystems.

• Familiar with manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding fabrication and castings.

• Team player, who takes initiative and demonstrates perseverance and a drive to be better.

Preferred Skills:

• Creo (ProEngineer) skill strongly preferred.

• Experience in several of these areas is desirable: opto-mechanical systems, ultra-high vacuum systems, design of inspection equipment or similar instruments, motion controls, electronics, data acquisition systems such as Labview, measurement instrumentation, tooling & test fixture design, supplier management, new product introduction

• Should have experience in thermal, structural analysis and fluid flow modeling (Pro/Mechanica, ANSYS, CF Design skill strongly preferred).

Minimum Qualifications

Doctorate (Academic) or work experience of 2 years, Master's Level Degree or work experience of 4 years, Bachelor's Level Degree or work experience of 5 years
