• Design and implement mechanical systems for semiconductor fab environments, including cleanrooms, cooling systems, and process equipment
• Collaborate on facility layout and infrastructure planning for new tools and expansions
• Troubleshoot and resolve equipment and system failures quickly and effectively
• Analyze thermal and mechanical stress to ensure long-term system reliability
• Generate technical documentation including CAD drawings, BOMs, and installation guidelines
• Work closely with suppliers, contractors, and internal teams to coordinate installations and upgrades
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, and increase system performance

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (Master's preferred)
• 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience, preferably in semiconductor, high-tech manufacturing, or cleanroom environments
• Proficiency with CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks)
• Familiarity with cleanroom protocols, semiconductor fabrication processes, or gas/chemical handling systems is a strong plus
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and team collaboration abilities
• Knowledge of ASME, SEMI standards, and relevant building/mechanical codes is a plus

Nice to Have (but not required):

• PE license or working toward licensure
• Experience with FEA/CFD simulations
• Previous work with Class 1 cleanrooms or ISO-certified environments
