The RAPID division is the leading provider of reticle inspection solutions for the semiconductor industry. We provide inspection solutions to both the mask shops and the semiconductor fabs to ensure that lithography yields are consistently high, enabling cost-effective manufacturing.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will craft sophisticated precision mechanical and opto-mechanical inspection systems for next-generation semiconductor equipment. You will take full ownership of the design process—from requirements specification and feasibility studies to detailed design, prototyping, testing, and handoff to manufacturing.
This is a hands-on role where you will:Lead the design, fabrication, and performance characterization of advanced mechanical systems.
Build and maintain technical relationships with vendors.
Own the full lifecycle of mechanical design including:
Requirements specification
Feasibility studies Analysis and FEA modeling
Conceptual and detailed design
Creation of detailed drawings
Design review presentations
Procurement of prototype parts
Support for prototype testing and system integration
Handoff to manufacturing and issue resolution through all product phases
Apply advanced knowledge of tolerance analysis, GD&T, error budgeting, and requirement flow-up/flow-down.
Perform finite element analysis, creep and stress relaxation, modal analysis, and thermal analysis (heat transfer, gradients, transients, thermo-elastic effects).
Select materials and resolve fabrication methods.
Utilize 3D solid modeling CAD tools—ProE/Creo strongly preferred.
Understand and apply mechanical manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal fabrication, and welding.
Strong understanding of physics and mechanics
Excellent communication and teamwork skills
Experience in semiconductor or high-tech equipment design
Proven ability to take designs from concept through manufacturing
Minimum Qualifications
Doctorate (Academic) Degree and 0 years related work experience; Master's Level Degree and related work experience of 3 years; Bachelor's Level Degree and related work experience of 5 years
