Design Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking an analytical and innovative Design Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing high-precision engineering systems, equipment parts, or facility layouts for semiconductor applications. You will translate complex project requirements into functional technical designs, ensuring full compliance with semiconductor manufacturing standards, safety guidelines, and client specifications.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineering Design & Modeling: Conceptualize and develop detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing/engineering drawings using advanced CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, or Creo).

• Technical Specifications & Analysis: Perform engineering calculations, tolerance stack-up analysis, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) where required to ensure structural and thermal reliability.

• Bill of Materials (BOM) Management: Generate and maintain accurate Bill of Materials (BOM), engineering change notices (ECN), and technical documentation for production or construction teams.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Project Managers, Production/Site Engineers, and Quality Assurance teams to review design buildability, resolve manufacturing challenges, and implement design improvements.

• Vendor & Component Selection: Evaluate and select appropriate materials, mechanical components, or electrical parts from vendors, ensuring they meet the cleanroom or high-purity standards required in semiconductor environments.

• Prototyping & Testing: Support the testing and commissioning phases of new designs, analyze failure modes (DFMEA/PFMEA), and iterate designs based on performance feedback.

Job Requirements

Education & Experience

• Education: Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Experience: Minimum of 2 to 4 years of product design or system design experience, preferably within the semiconductor, precision engineering, automation, or high-tech equipment manufacturing sectors.

Technical Skills

• High proficiency in 3D CAD modeling software (e.g., SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, or equivalent).

• Strong understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and manufacturing processes (e.g., machining, sheet metal fabrication, cleanroom materials).

• Familiarity with industry-specific standards (e.g., SEMI standards, ASME) is a distinct advantage.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and spatial visualization skills.

• Excellent communication skills to present design concepts effectively to clients and internal stakeholders.

• Highly organized with a strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple design deadlines.
