Head of Mechanical Engineering

Role Overview :

You will lead a high -performing
team of mechanical engineers in the design, development, and enhancement of
automated semiconductor test handlers and thermal sub -systems. This role is
critical in driving the transition from design concepts to high -volume
manufacturing, ensuring that the company’s precision motion systems and thermal
technologies meet the "Zero Defect" requirements of the global
automotive and industrial semiconductor markets. This role  also ensures robust mechanical design, high
reliability, manufacturability, cost efficiency, and compliance with
semiconductor industry standards, while driving continuous improvement,
innovation, and team excellence.

Roles and responsibilities :

• Lead and mentor a team of Mechanical Design
  Engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and
  accountability.
  
• Manage the department’s resource allocation to
  support multiple concurrent projects, from New Product Introduction (NPI) to
  sustaining engineering.
  
• Oversee the professional development of the
  team, ensuring high competency in advanced CAD tools and semiconductor industry
  standards.
  
• Direct the mechanical design of parts, and lead
  design reviews focused on DFX (Design for Excellence), specifically aiming for
  ease of manufacturability (DFM), assembly (DFA), and cost -efficiency (DFC).
  
• Act as the primary mechanical engineering
  interface for the Melaka site, collaborating with Electrical, Software, and
  Vision teams to deliver integrated automation solutions.
  
• Work closely with the Global R&D centers
  (Germany/USA) to localize and "harden" designs for the Malaysian
  manufacturing environment.
  
• Support the production floor during pilot builds
  and ramp -ups, acting as the final escalation point for complex mechanical
  design issues.
  
• Drive the implementation of Industry 4.0
  features within mechanical assemblies, such as smart sensors and predictive
  maintenance components.
  
• Utilize FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and
  thermal simulation data to optimize structural integrity and heat dissipation
  in high -parallelism test sites
  

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Mechanical
  Engineering. Professional Engineer (PE) status or a Master’s degree is a plus.
  
• Minimum 8 -10 years in mechanical design, with at
  least 5 years in a leadership/managerial role within the semiconductor
  equipment or high -tech automation industry.
  
• Technical Proficiency:
  

o   Advanced expertise in SolidWorks or Creo for 3D
modeling and detailing.

o   Strong understanding of GD&T (Geometric
Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and precision machining tolerances.

o   Knowledge of pneumatics, actuators, and
high -speed motion control systems.

• Excellent command of English (written and
  verbal) to facilitate communication with global stakeholders. Strong project
  management skills with the ability to "know the numbers" regarding
  project budgets and timelines
  

Benefits

• Global
  Exposure: Opportunity to work on NASDAQ -listed technology that powers the
  world's most advanced EVs and AI chips.
  
• Green Manufacturing: Join a site recognized for
  its commitment to renewable energy and sustainability (Outstanding Green
  Subscriber Award).
  
• Innovation Hub: Be part of a team that holds
  hundreds of patents in the semiconductor test space
