Manufacturing Engineer

Responsibilities

• Provide hands-on support during assembly, integration, and final testing of complex semiconductor capital equipment.
• Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical and electrical issues, including fit, tolerance, integration, and system-level interactions.
• Serve as the first responder for production issues on the manufacturing floor and drive thorough root cause analysis and resolution.
• Identify design or process issues and provide clear feedback to engineering teams, including design redlines and improvement recommendations.
• Collaborate closely with design engineering, quality, supply chain, and production teams to ensure smooth builds and issue resolution.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to prevent repeat issues and enhance manufacturing processes and product reliability.
• Develop, update, and refine work instructions and build documentation to support consistent, high-quality assembly and test processes.
• Provide design feedback related to high vacuum systems and other complex subsystems to improve manufacturability and serviceability.
• Work in a fast-paced, floor-driven environment, managing multiple issues and priorities while maintaining clear communication with technicians and leadership.
• Travel up to approximately 10% domestically and internationally as needed to support builds, troubleshooting, or cross-site collaboration.

Requirements

• Strong mechanical aptitude with practical, hands-on experience in manufacturing and troubleshooting complex equipment.
• Working knowledge of electrical systems and the ability to read and interpret electrical schematics.
• Experience in manufacturing engineering within semiconductor capital equipment, large medical device, or similarly complex electromechanical systems that include electrical, mechanical, and software components.
• Proficiency in troubleshooting mechanical and electrical issues on complex systems, including fit, tolerance, and integration challenges.
• Ability to apply GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) concepts in a manufacturing and assembly context.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, shop-floor-focused environment with frequent hands-on engagement with equipment and builds.
• Execution-focused mindset with a strong emphasis on problem-solving and issue resolution rather than design-only work.
• Adaptability to work across multiple issues and shifting priorities in a low-volume, high-complexity, engineer-to-order setting.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with technicians, engineers, and leadership.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to approximately 10% domestically and internationally as required.
• Willingness to relocate to be fully onsite at the manufacturing facility.

Qualifications

• Experience in semiconductor capital equipment or large medical devices that integrate mechanical, electrical, and software components is highly desirable.
• Experience working with high vacuum systems and providing design feedback and redlines to improve manufacturability is a strong plus.
• Comfort working in environments where each system may be customized, requiring flexibility and strong problem-solving skills.
• Interest in working on complex, high-value systems used in AI, semiconductor, and advanced technology applications.
• Motivation to have direct impact on production and product performance in a role that is not siloed and offers high visibility.
• Desire to work cross-functionally across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain in support of critical production ramps.
• Preference for low-volume, high-complexity manufacturing rather than repetitive, high-volume production work.
