Job's mission
As a Senior Engineer II, Mechanical Engineering at ASM, you will play a pivotal role in design and development of high‑precision ALD chamber and semiconductor equipment systems. In this role, you will apply solid mechanical engineering fundamentals to solve complex design challenges, support new product development, and ensure reliable transition from design to manufacturing. Working closely with cross‑functional teams, you will help drive product quality, performance, and innovation.
What you will be working on
- Design and develop mechanical systems and components for advanced node Atomic Layer Deposition equipment.
- Apply sound engineering principles, fundamentals of physics, and product-focused mindset to meet customer needs.
- Perform engineering calculations related to structural, thermal, and fluid dynamics to support robust and reliable designs.
- Create and maintain Creo Parametric 3D CAD models and complex assemblies.
- Generate 2D drawings, applying GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5 and/or ISO 1101) for use in a global supply chain.
- Evaluate the feasibility of product proposals, resolve technical issues, and develop new designs in compliance with product safety and customer need
- Prepare complete engineering documentation to support prototype to HVM transition
- Support engineering project activities, including design characterization, schedule planning, design reviews, and coordination with cross‑functional teams.
- Establish and maintain product structures and configurations
- Participate in and present at design reviews for new designs, product enhancements, and customer‑specific solutions.
- Support hardware development, installation, and testing to verify performance; create, review, and approve test plans and test procedures.
- Interface with manufacturing, suppliers, and other engineering teams to ensure smooth product transfer into the manufacturing cycle.
- Review and process engineering change requests (ECR/ECO) and support continuous product and process improvements through Teamcenter PLM
- Travel to customer or supplier sites as needed to support technical discussions and project execution.
- Maintain a strong commitment to safety in all activities.
What we are looking for
- Master’s degree in mechanical engineering or related disciplines.
- Several years of hands‑on experience in mechanical design and development of complex systems within semiconductor or capital equipment industries.
- Practical experience with mechanical systems such as vacuum chambers, reactors, susceptor heaters, gas delivery systems, pneumatics, cooling circuits.
- Ability to perform simulation and engineering analysis (e.g., structural, thermal, fluid dynamics) to support robust and reliable designs.
- Proficiency in Creo (or equivalent CAD tools) and ability to create detailed engineering drawings
- Solid understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical design fundamentals for use in vacuum and ultra clean processes
- Strong problem‑solving skills and creativity
- The ability to work effectively in a cross‑functional, fast‑paced environment.
What sets you apart
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering or related degree.
- Experience with thermal and plasma-based deposition equipment (ALD, PEALD, CVD)
- Systems level design and characterization, bridging component design to over-all system and on-wafer performance.
- Strong capability to run and interpret multiphysics simulations (structural, thermal, CFD) and apply the results to improve design specifications.
- Extremely large CAD assembly management
- Strong dFX and DFMEA experience
- Experience designing core reactor hardware (susceptors, showerheads, RF delivery, etc)
- Experience supporting products through the full lifecycle, from concept and design to manufacturing release.
- Ability to independently manage technical tasks while contributing effectively as a team player.
