KLA Senior/Mechanical Engineer R&D 

Singapore, Singapore 

649992693

Responsibilities:

Perform mechanical design of precision components, subsystem/system to support the development of the next generation semiconductor metrology equipment.

Own and drive the mechanical design process:

• Gather and uncover technical requirements and translate them into subsystem specifications.

• Conduct preliminary feasibility studies through engineering first principles and/or experiments.

• Propose and complete the design from conceptual design, detailed design to detailed drawings.

• Conduct analysis and simulations, including structural, thermal, vibration/modal Finite Element Analyses (FEAs).

• Participate and lead design reviews to obtain a peer-oriented design assessment.

Plan and execute designverification/validation:

• Fit/form test on sub-assembly/system, which includes hands-on work in the cleanroom building/assembling the first few mechanical assemblies.

• Perform risk analysis, develop test plans with well defined test criteria, and execute verification testing of subsystems and systems.

Supplier management:

• Ensure all design requirements are appropriately specified and parts quality meets specifications with inspection on incoming components.

• Collaborations for customized solutions when required.

• Manufacturing process transfer and qualification.

Cross collaboration:

• Present technical data effectively to diverse audiences in design reviews, status updates, and issues.

• Collaborate with multi-functional engineering teams, including electrical engineers, software engineers, systems engineers, andmanufacturing/serviceengineers, to ensure seamless integration and testing at both subsystem and system levels.

• Develop and release comprehensive documentation of designs, such as assembly and test procedures. Provide training on the new design/procedure and transfer to manufacturing.

Tool maintenance and troubleshooting:

• Apply standard problem-solving methods to identify root causes of sub-system and system test failures.

• Collaborate with manufacturing team during product ramp-up to support and troubleshoot product issues.

Requirements:

• In-depth understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals, encompassing design principles, materials selection, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), tolerance stack-up analysis and error budgeting.

• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including design principles, machine elements, materials, fabrication methods.

• Familiar with mechanical manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, etc.

• Proficient in 3D solid modeling using CAD, preferably ProE/Creo.

• Basic knowledge in simulation software (eg. Solidworks, Creo, ANSYS, etc), capable of structural, vibration, thermal and fluid simulation. Able to do first order estimation using mathematics.

Desired attributes:

• Demonstrate perseverance and drive to be better in solving complex problems.

• Excellent team player and contribute to team effort to accomplish overall objectives as needed.

• Be flexible and adaptive to adjust project focus based on priority changes.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of growing in a collaborative, dynamic environment.

Minimum Qualifications
