Job Summary
The Mechanical Engineer – Core Design plays a key role in the design and development of semiconductor equipment, mechanical modules, sheet-metal structures, precision assemblies, and complex subsystems. The role requires strong expertise in UG NX, GD&T;, Sheet Metal, Tolerance Stack-up, Semiconductor Fabrication Processes, Material Selection, SOM, and FEA (Structural & Thermal). This engineer will lead concept creation, detailed design, validation, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver high-quality mechanical solutions.

1. Key Responsibilities
Core Mechanical Design:
Create detailed 3D models and assemblies using UG NX, develop innovative concepts, apply DFM/DFA principles, and conduct trade-off analysis.
GD&T; & Tolerance Engineering:
Apply ASME Y14.5 standards, conduct 2D/3D tolerance stack-ups, and validate critical tolerances.
Sheet Metal & Machined Component Design:
Design enclosures, brackets, frames, and apply sheet-metal design rules including bend allowances and manufacturability.
Semiconductor Fabrication Process Knowledge:
Understand vacuum design,



plasma interaction, thermal loads, contamination control, and process module interfaces.
Material Selection & SOM:
Select materials based on mechanical, thermal, chemical, and vacuum criteria; develop SOM documentation and risk analysis.
FEA – Structural & Thermal:
Perform structural/thermal analysis, evaluate static/dynamic loads, perform modal studies, and validate heat dissipation.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Work with electrical, systems, manufacturing, supply chain, and reliability teams; drive design reviews.
Testing, Validation & Release:
Support prototype builds, perform functional testing, implement ECOs, and release designs through PLM tools.

2. Required Technical Skills
• UG NX (Expert Level)
• GD&T; (ASME Y14.5)
• Sheet Metal Design and Drafting
• Tolerance Stack-up (Worst Case & Statistical)
• Semiconductor Fabrication Process Knowledge
• Material Selection for Vacuum & Cleanroom Applications
• Structural & Thermal FEA (ANSYS/Abaqus)
• SOM Documentation Knowledge
• DFM/DFA Application
• PLM Tools (Teamcenter/Windchill)

3. Professional Skills
Strong communication and presentation abilities.




Ability to lead technical discussions and decisions.
Analytical problem-solving and root-cause analysis capability.
Mentorship experience with junior engineers.

4. Education
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field.

5. Experience Range
3–7 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design engineering, preferably in semiconductor equipment, high-tech capital machinery, robotics, or precision systems.

Key Responsibilities
• Utilize design for manufacturing & assembly (dfma) techniques to optimize product designs for efficient manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Proficiently utilize cad design skills to create detailed design drawings and models.
• Collaborate within team to ensure designs meet technical requirements and align with project timelines.
• Apply creo software to develop innovative and functional product designs.
• Conduct design reviews and provide recommendations for design improvements based on dfma principles.
• Stay updated on industry trends and best practices in design for manufacturing and assembly.

Skill Requirements
Solid Mechanical Design Engineer/SPM designer, SEMI equipment designer with technically sound and expert in CAD Tool like Unigraphics/Team center, also strong in mechanical basics, GD&T;

Other Requirements
Professional certifications in Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA), CAD Design Skills, or Creo are a plus.
