United States, California, Milpitas 

434742807

The Mechanical Design Engineer will perform mechanical design of parts and assemblies using Creo and generate drawings with GD&T for high-performing wafer positioning/motion stages and related tooling. They will conduct design reviews, procure prototypes, and work with vendors as well as drive prototype testing, system integration, stage servo tuning and handoff to manufacturing. The engineer will test and qualify stages to ensure they meet performance & reliability requirements. They will perform analysis and simulations, such as structural, thermal, vibration/modal FEAs, motorcurrent/voltage/powercalculations, etc.. They will create documents and procedure formanufacturing/assemblyof various systems and collaborate with other engineering groups such as controls engineers, systems engineers and manufacturing engineers to ensure seamless integration and to optimize performance!

Must have:

• Three years' experience in mechanical design/solid modeling

• Proficient in Creo/Solidworks or similar 3D modeling tools

• Proficient in structural, thermal, and vibration/modal FEA

• DFM experience with machining, sheet metals, and castings

• Knowledge of analysis tools such as Python or Matlab

Nice to have:

• Experience implementing various types of rotary bearings/linear guides and/or air bearings

• Design experience of X,Y sub-micron positioning stages

• Experience in vibration optimization and design for high stiffness to weight ratio

• Vibration and modal testing using accelerometers, impact hammer, etc.

• Semiconductor capital equipment design experience
