POSITION SUMMARY:

As a Mechanical Engineer III in the Plasma Power Group you will lead the design analysis and validation of mechanical systems for high-power products used in plasma processing applications. You will work with a high degree of independence and technical judgment to develop innovative manufacturable and reliable solutions for complex power electronics. This role requires strong expertise in thermal management materials selection and mechanical design in demanding environments along with the ability to drive cross-functional collaboration mentor other engineers and influence product architecture from concept through production.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead mechanical engineering activities across all phases of the product development lifecycle from concept generation through production release and sustaining support.
• Own the design and analysis of thermal management systems including cold plates heat sinks and air/liquid cooling mechanisms for high-power electronics.
• Develop robust mechanical designs and detailed documentation for sheet metal machined molded extruded stamped and 3D-printed components and assemblies.
• Design and route power and communication cabling to meet system performance safety regulatory and serviceability requirements.
• Create maintain and drive accuracy of Bills of Materials (BOMs) engineering change documentation and released product data throughout the lifecycle.
• Partner with suppliers manufacturing and supply chain teams to optimize designs for manufacturability cost quality and delivery.
• Perform and interpret thermal and structural simulations using tools such as Ansys and correlate results with laboratory and prototype test data.
• Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and apply GD&T per ANSI Y14.5 to ensure fit function manufacturability and interchangeability.
• Plan and execute experiments develop test methods and automate data collection and analysis for performance validation and root-cause investigation.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles to improve manufacturability testability serviceability and product reliability.
• Lead prototype builds hands-on testing design reviews and troubleshooting efforts for complex mechanical and electro-mechanical issues.
• Evaluate and select materials and mechanical solutions suitable for environments with high RF fields thermal loads and demanding operating conditions.
• Provide technical guidance to other engineers and technicians and contribute to mechanical design standards best practices and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate across engineering disciplines to ensure robust manufacturable high-quality product designs that meet customer and business objectives.

WORK ENVIRONMENT:

• Hands-on experience with lab testing instrumentation and data collection for design validation and troubleshooting.
• Experience creating and managing Bills of Materials (BOMs) engineering changes and released product documentation.
• Experience designing and routing power and communication cables for complex systems.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with suppliers manufacturing and supply chain teams to drive manufacturable cost-effective solutions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to independently drive technical investigations and design decisions.
• Background in electronics packaging or RF systems preferred.
• Familiarity with materials suitable for use in high RF field environments preferred.
• Demonstrated application of DFM/DFA principles and participation in design reviews root-cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives preferred.

EXPERIENCE:

• 5-8 years of mechanical engineering experience with a BS degree or 3 years of experience with an MS degree.
• Demonstrated experience leading substantial mechanical design efforts for complex products or subsystems from concept through release.
• Experience designing thermal management systems such as cold plates heat sinks and air/liquid cooling solutions.
• Experience with Ansys or similar simulation tools for thermal and structural analysis preferred.
• Experience with scripting (e.g. Python or MATLAB) for test automation or data analysis preferred.

EDUCATION:

• Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science
