Mechanical Engineer

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Define the mechanical package, including mobile platform integration, robot mounting structures, FOUP load ports, and enclosures.
• Select robots and end-effectors and perform kinematics, reach, payload, and hand-off studies.
• Develop docking and auto-levelling mechanisms with vibration control.
• Engineer FFU/ETU airflow enclosures and cleanliness-compliant wafer-transfer structures.
• Run structural, modal, vibration, and thermal FEA across chassis, mounts, and mechanical interfaces.
• Deliver large-assembly 3D models, GD&T-controlled drawings, tolerance stack-ups, and procurement documentation.
• Drive DFM/DFA and design reviews, own the BOM, and support suppliers, quotations, and long-lead procurement.
• Lead prototype build, assembly, debug, qualification, and deployment, including docking, levelling, battery, charging, and throughput validation.

Required Skills

• Hands-on industrial robot integration, including kinematics, reach and payload studies, end-effector design, and automation cell build-up.
• AGV chassis integration covering drive, navigation, battery, and charging.
• Strong working proficiency in wafer-handling environments and cleanliness requirements.
• Structural, modal, vibration, and thermal simulation with design decisions closed from results.
• ASME Y14.5 dimensioning and tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Ownership of large assemblies in NX, Inventor, or SolidWorks, including drawing release and procurement documentation.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to lead design reviews across global teams.

Qualifications and Experience

• B.E. or B.Tech, or M.E. or M.Tech, in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering.
• 8–12 years of experience across semiconductor capital equipment, robotics, or factory automation.
• Proven ownership of at least one system from concept through prototype build to deployment.
• Experience working with electrical, controls/software, safety, and tool-integration teams.

Preferred Skills

• SPM domain expertise.
• Exposure to SEMI S2/S8 safety standards and interlock-aware mechanical design.
• AGV or AMR deployment experience in a fab or other high-cleanliness environment.
• DFMEA, supplier development, and cross-site program execution experience.
