Mechanical Design Engineer – Semiconductor NEW

Company Background:

We are seeking for a Mechanical Design Engineer for our client, they are a leading multinational semiconductor platform solutions, process equipment and automation technologies provider, with their manufacturing site based in Senai, Johor. 

The Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for the detailed design, modeling, and technical validation of mechanical and electro-mechanical systems. You will transform conceptual ideas into precision-engineered subsystems using advanced CAD tools and GD&T principles while maintaining strict “Copy Exact” standards.

This role requires frequent international travel, including the US, Europe, South Asia, and Southeast Asia regions to drive client servicing and account management.

Job Responsibilities:

1. Precision Design & Modeling:

• Develop and modify complex parametric 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings for mechanical and electro-mechanical components.
• Design integrated mechanical routings, including pneumatic lines, cooling systems, and cable management within high-level asseblies.
• Perform system packaging and high-level assembly (HLA) modeling to ensure spatial efficiency and serviceability

2. Engineering Analysis & Validation:

• Conduct detailed static and dynamic interference analysis to ensure “zero-clash” integration of subsystems.

• Review and execute all designs in accordance with international safety codes and semiconductor industry regulations.

• Design and conduct laboratory tests to evaluate component durability, thermal performance, and mechanical stress.

3. GD&T & Documentation Control:

• Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) at a Level 1 certification standard to ensure high-precision manufacturing repeatability.

• Manage the formal release of drawings and concomitant documentation, ensuring all Engineering Change Notices (ECN) are accurately recorded.

• Ensure all CAD metadata and Bill of Materials (BOM) are accurately maintained within the company’s PLM/ERP systems.

4. Global Collaboration & Support:

• Directly analyze and resolve technical issues identified at supplier sites or during internal integration and testing.

• Participate in regular technical syncs with engineering teams in Asia, Europe, and the USA to ensure project alignment.

• Provide technical data analysis to help the management team assess the market demand and feasibility of new product features.

Job Requirements:

• Willing to travel abroad on frequent basis for client servicing purposes including US, Europe, South Asia and Southeast Asia regions
• Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum 3-5 years of hands-on mechanical design experience, preferably in semiconductor capital equipment, robotics, or aerospace.

• Expert proficiency in CAD tools such as SolidWorks, NX, or Creo.

• Certified Level 1 GD&T capability.

• Basic experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) or thermal simulation is a plus.

• Strong technical rigor, resilience under tight deadlines, and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
