We are seeking an OptoMechanical Engineer to develop prototype and integrate precision optomechanical subsystems for advanced imaging illumination and metrology platforms. This role requires strong handson experience across optics and mechanical design from early concept development through prototype assembly alignment qualification and characterization. The successful candidate will work closely with optical mechanical and system engineers to deliver robust compliant and highperformance solutions.

Role Responsibilities:

• Develop opto-mechanical concepts for imaging illumination and metrology subsystems.
• Design and prototype mounts mechanisms fixtures and breadboards.
• Assemble and debug prototype chambers and precision assemblies.
• Perform optical/mechanical alignment metrology and characterization.
• Derive componentlevel requirements including tolerances stability drift and environmental sensitivity based on systemlevel needs.
• Design optomechanical systems to meet SEMI standards and compliance requirements and support documentation needed for qualification and audits.
• Plan support and interpret environmental qualification testing including vibration shock temperature and thermal cycling tests and incorporate results into design improvements.
• Work hands-on with optics mechanics materials and thermal/structural concerns.
• Assist in establishing and qualifying vendors for mechanical sub-components.
• Communicate mechanical/optical considerations to influence architectural decisions.

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS in Mechanical Optical or related engineering field.
• Strong understanding of optical systems and optomechanical design principles.
• 710 years in precision mechanical design prototyping and assembly.
• Subject-matter expertise with CAD software (Solidworks Inventor NX) sheet metal design material selection manufacturing methods.
• Ability to derive and specify tolerances stability drift and environmental requirements.
• Hands-on prototype assembly/integration/debug experience. Experience performing optical alignment and metrology using standard laboratory tools.
• Proficient in opto-mechanical precision mechanical and mechanism design and familiar with high precision optical design implementations.
• Familiarity with SEMI standards (e.g. SEMI S2 S8 F47 as applicable) and experience designing systems to meet compliance requirements.
• Understanding of environmental test protocols including vibration shock temperature and thermal cycling.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with designing/integrating precision motion control systems.
• Experience developing products within the semiconductor equipment space.
• Experience with structural and modal FEA (ANSYS COMSOL or similar) for evaluating stiffness thermal behavior and vibration modes of mechanical assemblies.
• Experience with Teamcenter or similar PLM platforms.
• Proficiency in data analysis (JMP/Excel).
