About the role

We’re seeking an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to support the production of advanced semiconductor equipment. In this hands-on role, you’ll work alongside technicians and cross-functional engineering teams to keep complex equipment builds moving, resolve production challenges, and strengthen manufacturing processes.

What you’ll do

• Provide engineering support through equipment assembly, integration, and testing.
• Work with technicians and production teams to diagnose and resolve build issues and keep work aligned with quality, schedule, and performance targets.
• Investigate manufacturing and quality concerns, identify root causes, and help implement effective corrective actions.
• Coordinate with Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain to address product, process, and supplier-related issues.
• Create and refine manufacturing processes, work instructions, and production documentation.
• Help implement engineering changes while maintaining configuration control.
• Identify and advance improvements in product manufacturability, production efficiency, quality, and repeatability.
• Use drawings, schematics, CAD models, and technical documents to support manufacturing work.
• Collaborate with Design Engineering, Operations, Service, Quality, Supply Chain, and external manufacturing partners to support successful builds.

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
• At least five years of experience in Manufacturing Engineering, Production Engineering, Sustaining Engineering, or a similar role supporting complex electromechanical products.
• Practical experience with manufacturing, assembly, integration, or testing.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and a structured approach to problem-solving.
• Familiarity with bills of materials, work instructions, production documentation, and engineering change processes.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, CAD models, and GD&T requirements.
• Experience with root-cause methods such as 8D, 5 Why, or comparable approaches.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.
• Experience with ERP systems; SAP experience is preferred.

Preferred experience

Experience with semiconductor capital equipment, cleanroom manufacturing, vacuum systems, precision automation, photonics, scientific instruments, or other advanced electromechanical products is a strong plus.
