This role emphasizes hands-on engineering, technical decision-making, and end-to-end responsibility for mechanical designs in challenging projects.
- Design and develop high-precision mechanical systems from concept, detail design, and validation through series production
- Take technical ownership of mechanical components and assemblies, including calculations, simulations, tolerancing, and documentation
- Review and approve mechanical designs, drawings, and specifications with a focus on quality, robustness, and manufacturability
- Collaborate closely with production, procurement, suppliers, quality, integration, electronics, and service teams
- Support industrialization and ensure smooth transfer from development to manufacturing
- Contribute to design reviews, risk assessments (e.g. FMEA), and validation activities
- Apply and further develop design standards, best practices, and lessons learned
- Act as a technical mentor and sparring partner for other engineers, sharing expertise and supporting technical growth
- Evaluate and introduce new technologies, materials, and design approaches to improve performance and reliability
Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a comparable field
- 5+ years of professional experience in mechanical design engineering, ideally within the semiconductor industry
- Strong expertise in machine design, physics, strength of materials, and high-precision mechanical systems
- Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred), including PDM systems and detailed technical documentation
- In-depth knowledge of materials selection, tolerancing, surface finishes, and international standards (ISO, ANSI, DIN)
- Experience with high-precision manufacturing processes and design verification methods (FMEA, simulations, prototyping, industrialization)
- Solid understanding of safety and regulatory requirements and multidisciplinary system design, including electrical interfaces
- Experience in vacuum technology, FE simulations, and complex projects under tight deadlines
- Structured, analytical working style with a strong focus on technical depth and long-term solution quality
