Responsible for the automated optical wafer inspection system. The candidate will assume responsibility for the next generation design, fabrication, and technical interaction with vendors. Will be responsible for design process, including participation in creating requirements specification, analysis and FEA modeling, conceptual and detailed design using SolidWorks, detail drawings, design review presentations, procurement of prototype parts, prototype testing, system integration, and handoff to manufacturing. Will take projects from design concept, through prototype and testing, to manufacturing build, and will document and address all issues thru the product phases

* Design mechanical parts and subsystems for next generation inspection system. Responsible for the complete design process, including requirements, concept, design, testing, BOM structure, and scheduling.

* Perform first order hand calculations and computer simulations to verify functionality of parts and mechanism. Work cross-functionally and drive implementation of design best practices into product design that meets the requirements and specifications, SEMI standards, as well as adhering to manufacturability and reasonable cost.

* The engineer will be conducting various analysis, such as thermal, vibration and FEA modeling, conceptual and detailed design using SolidWorks, detailed drawings, design review presentations, procurement of prototype parts, system integration, prototype testing, and handoff to manufacturing. These tasks will require working with other engineering groups such as Systems engineers and Manufacturing engineers to ensure flawless integration and subsystem test or system level. Develop the required supporting documentation, such as assembly and test procedures
