About MattsonCompany:Mattson Technology, Inc., a 38-year Silicon Valley company, designs, manufactures, markets, and globally supports plasma and rapid thermal processing equipment to fabricate integrated circuits for the global semiconductor industry.Mattson Technology, Inc. offers processing equipment that utilizes innovative technologies to deliver advanced processing capabilities and high productivity for the fabrication of current and next-generation integrated circuits. Our equipment and technologies are used by leading memory and logic, analog /power device manufacturers worldwide. Innovations from Mattson Technology in Atomic Surface Engineeringaddress the most critical logic and memory manufacturing challenges.In May 2016, Mattson Technology was acquired by Beijing’s E-Town Capital. Our new investor’s vision is that Mattson Technology, with its Silicon Valley DNA, will continue to operate as a global, market-driven technology provider serving worldwide semiconductor manufacturing customers. In July, 2025, the company successfully listed in Shanghai’s STAR Exchange. As the external trade compliance environment evolves, Mattson Technology now operates independently from the parent company in product, business, and operations, serving customers outside of China.Key Responsibilities:• Generate mechanical design concepts and feasibility studies for making proposals for new CES/CIP/R&D project request• Conduct and participate in formal/informal design reviews to contribute and generate discussion/alternate ideas on various aspects of the design• Perform engineering analysis of complex scope, in the following areas: Wafer transfer methods including robotics, friction, particle control, vacuum and end effectors, Mechanism design in assemblies such as slit valves, lift pins, indexers, Wafer temperature management (in both process and transfer environments) including cooling stations, pedestals, ESC• Design, development and implementation of custom mechanical tooling, fixturing, and associated processes to enable the handling, assembly and/or disassembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies and final assemblies throughout the product life cycle.• Generate solid models in 3D (parts and assemblies), 2D drawings, bills of material, submitting ECO’s, test specifications, functional specification and product specifications.• Manage communications and expectations with internal and external customers and vendors to ensure accomplishing project objectives• Work intensely with SAP, Pro-E, and other software applications to properly manage and document projects• Can work hands-on when needed in the engineering lab and manufacturing to support the installation and test of CES/CIP designs that get delivered on customer systems• Other duties as assignedRequirements:• Knowledge of mechanical engineering design, mechanics, and material science concepts and techniques, including proficiency in solving engineering problems using analytical techniques and engineering knowledge such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, measurement control, stress analysis, Finite Element Analysis, or system integration• Experience in the areas of robotics, mechanisms, RF, Plasma, gas delivery, vacuum, temperature control and electrostatic clampin• General knowledge of appropriate materials, components and technologies used in the semiconductor equipment industry• Understands and applies the principles of vacuum technology• General knowledge of electrical and software engineering disciplines• High level experience with CAD tools (in particular CREO) and SAP• Requires skills in change management, problem solving, communication skills, customer orientation, product technology, global business perspective, personal effectiveness, project management, team skills and quality• Requires knowledge of systems and software necessary to perform job function such as MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MS Project, Visio, AutoCad, ProEngineer.• Ability to work under pressure to design cost effective solutions with serviceability and manufacturability.• Must be able to work in a theoretical domain or hands on practical situation• BS in Mechanical Engineering and 3+ years directly related experience, or equivalent• MS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent• Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering preferredFull timePosting Date:
