Job Type: Contract
Job Location: Milpitas, CA
Work Schedule: Onsite
Pay Rate: $73, Based on experience
Description:
- Design, build, prototype testing the next generation broad band plasma (BBP) Wafer inspection opto-mechanical assemblies.
- Collaborated development with core suppliers.
- Work with system, optical, electrical and software engineer to derive the subsystem requirements and conduct design reviews.
- CAD Modeling: Cero
- Precision mechanism development: actuator selection, tolerance analysis, lifetime evaluation, optics mounting, alignment & adjustment design, etc
- CAE: thermal & structural simulation, flow analysis is a plus (ANSYS experience preferred)
- Qualify and release the mechanism design, provide support for onsite manufacturing.
Education: Bachelor's degree preferred/minimum requirement
Role Overview:
- The team is seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer who can contribute immediately to design projects involving precision mechanical assemblies.
- The ideal candidate will be capable of independently handling design tasks for simple to moderately complex opto-mechanical assemblies and supporting validation activities.
Required Qualifications:
- 5 to 7+ years of industry experience in mechanical design
- Strong Creo CAD experience
- Experience with precision mechanism design
- Hands-on experience building, testing, and validating mechanical assemblies
- Ability to move quickly into active design work with minimal ramp-up time
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
Preferred Qualifications:
- Basic thermal and structural FEA experience
- Familiarity with ANSYS, Creo Simulation, or similar analysis tools
- Opto-mechanical experience is helpful but not required
- Experience with motorized assemblies, actuators, stages, and precision mechanisms
- Acceptable Industry Backgrounds
Candidates do not need semiconductor industry experience.
The hiring team is open to candidates from:
- Medical devices
- Aerospace
- Satellite systems
- Precision manufacturing
- Other industries involving precision mechanical mechanisms
- Agricultural equipment and non-precision mechanical backgrounds are less aligned with the role.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and redesign precision mechanical assemblies using Creo
- Develop motorized mechanisms involving actuators, rotating assemblies, and positioning systems
- Perform hands-on assembly and prototype builds
- Conduct testing and validation of design changes
- Document results and support transfer to manufacturing
- Assist with basic thermal and structural analysis when needed
- Work Breakdown
- Approximately 8+ months focused on design and CAD work
- Final phase focused on testing, validation, and manufacturing readiness
- Top Non-Negotiable Skills
- Previous mechanical design experience
- Creo CAD proficiency
- Hands-on building and testing experience
- CAD Requirements
- Creo is strongly preferred
- Candidates with SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar 3D CAD backgrounds may be considered if they have some Creo experience and can become productive quickly
- FEA Expectations
- Basic familiarity with thermal and structural analysis is sufficient
- Advanced simulation expertise is not required
- The manager can provide guidance beyond foundational analysis capabilities.
