  • Develop and maintain interface control documents (ICDs).
  • Lead requirements decomposition and ensure bi-directional traceability.
  • Establish subsystem validation strategies and verification plans.

Analysis & Verification

  • Perform structural, thermal, dynamic, and vacuum-related analyses using advanced FEA tools.
  • Lead risk assessments including FMEAs, root cause analysis, and structured problem‑solving.
  • Validate system reliability through load‑path evaluation, stress analysis, fatigue modeling, and environmental considerations.

Technical Leadership & Cross‑Functional Integration

  • Lead cross‑functional design reviews and drive subsystem integration, optimization, and design validation.
  • Collaborate with global teams, suppliers, and customers to refine requirements and resolve technical issues.
  • Champion DFX, VAVE, Lean methodologies, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Mentor early‑career engineers, elevate technical standards, and influence engineering culture by role modeling key attributes of leadership and ownership.
  • Make high-impact technical decisions that influence product performance and industry competitiveness.
  • Represent engineering in customer engagements and roadmap discussions.

Lifecycle, Compliance & Supply Chain Support

  • Support NPI, RFQ processes, qualification testing, and component lifecycle management.
  • Ensure design compliance with global regulatory standards (UL, CE, RoHS, REACH).
  • Develop and maintain robust documentation including BOMs, specifications, test plans, qual plans, and ECOs.
  • Partner with product management, operations, supply chain, and finance to ensure solutions meet cost, reliability, and schedule targets.

How will you get here?

  • 5 years’ experience in semiconductor capital equipment or wafer‑fab, advanced packaging environments.
  • Expertise in mechanical design, precision systems engineering, mechatronics, power systems, and fluid/vacuum systems.
  • Proficiency in FEA, CAD, and structural/thermal analysis tools.
  • Strong communication, documentation, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead reviews, guide teams, and interface with customers.
  • Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 30%.
