What you will do

• Drive Design for Manufacturability and DFX initiatives across semiconductor equipment products to improve manufacturability, producibility, assembly efficiency, quality, reliability, and supply chain robustness.
• Partner with design, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and suppliers to resolve build challenges, manufacturing issues, technical queries, and product readiness concerns.
• Review drawings, assemblies, specifications, and BOMs to identify manufacturability risks, tolerance concerns, process limitations, and simplification opportunities.
• Lead manufacturing-focused design reviews and recommend improvements to yield, cycle time, assembly efficiency, and product quality.
• Support NPI and qualification builds, factory integration, manufacturing ramp, and engineering change implementation.
• Resolve supplier deviations, NCRs, build issues, process escapes, and manufacturing non-conformances while driving value engineering and continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline.
• 8–12 years of experience in semiconductor equipment, manufacturing engineering, supplier engineering, product engineering, NPI engineering, or DFM-related roles.
• Strong expertise in DFM, DFX, manufacturability assessments, and manufacturing readiness reviews.
• Hands-on knowledge of precision machined components, sheet metal fabrications, castings, plastics, ceramics, weldments, surface treatments, and electro-mechanical assemblies.
• Proficiency in NX, Creo, and PLM tools such as Windchill and/or Teamcenter, plus GD&T, tolerance optimization, drawing interpretation, process capability, and manufacturing feasibility assessments.
• Experience with aPriori, DFMPro, or similar manufacturability assessment tools, as well as build issue resolution and supplier technical concerns.
