KLA Sr Opto-Mechanical Design Engineer 

United States, California, Milpitas 

942001960

Responsibilities:

Responsible for the complete design process, including:

• Drive design from beginning to end including requirements specification, feasibility studies, conceptual and detailed design, build and release to manufacturing

• Develop and track cost and schedule

• Generate detailed models and drawings, using 3D solid modeling (ProE/Creo)

• Conduct various analysis, such as fluid, thermal, and vibrational, through both hand calcs and FEA modeling

• Understand and use Geometric Tolerancing (GD&T)

• Perform detailed tolerance stack-up analysis

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

• Procure, assemble, and test prototype material

• Support system integration and testing

• Create assembly and test procedures

• Generate documentation and support release and handoff to manufacturing.

Design challenges may include:

• Low stress and high stability 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 act as mechanical lead on design challenges requiring 2-4 mechanical engineers, interfacing with other stakeholder groups.

• 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

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