ABOUT THE ROLE:

Join a world-class Semiconductor R&D team as a Precision Mechanical Engineer in San Jose, CA and help shape the future of metrology systems. In this pivotal role, you’ll be part of an elite group working on the design, prototyping, and production of ultra-precise instrumentation that integrates lasers, optics, mechanics, and electronics.
You’ll be hands-on from concept to launch—designing ultra-stable mechanical assemblies, building and testing prototypes, and collaborating across teams to drive New Product Introduction (NPI). Your work will directly influence the performance of mission-critical optical systems used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design mechanical systems for ultra-precise support and alignment of optical components
• Conduct simulations and analysis using 3D CAD and FEA
• Assemble and test prototypes for optical stability, repeatability, and reliability
• Create and refine manufacturing processes, alignment tools, and test fixtures
• Troubleshoot complex opto-mechanical issues and support production teams
• Collaborate with customers and internal stakeholders to deliver optimized solutions
• Document design requirements, technical specifications, and support IP filings
• Contribute to continuous improvement in product performance and reliability
