About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the design and development of cleaning processes and equipment tooling specifically tailored for handling and processing miniaturized or new form factor components
Define requirements and methods for both cleaning (e.g., ultrasonic, brush, chemical, DI water) ensuring compatibility with product design and contamination control standards
Utilize simulation tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics to model mechanical behavior, fluid dynamics, and process interactions for tooling and cleaning system optimization
Collaborate with suppliers and internal equipment development teams to design, prototype, and refine tooling and equipment platforms that support evolving product architectures
Validate cleaning performance through DOE, surface analysis, and particle/contamination testing using techniques like optical, AFM and SEM inspection
Conduct root cause analysis and implement improvements for cleaning-related defects or process instability
Document process specifications, operating procedures, and qualification protocols for cross-functional alignment

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s or Higher degree in Mechanical, Chemical or a related Engineering discipline
Strong knowledge of cleaning process fundamentals, contamination control, and mechanical tooling design
Experience in high-precision or high-purity manufacturing environments (e.g., semiconductor, hard disk, electronics)
Proficient in CAD tools for tooling design (e.g., SolidWorks)
Experienced with COMSOL Multiphysics for mechanical and process simulations, including cleaning systems and other equipment platforms
Familiarity with fluid dynamics, brushing, ultrasonic cleaning, chemical compatibility, and surface preparation techniques
Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills using data-driven approaches
Capable of leading projects independently and collaborating across engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams
Effective in communicating technical details and driving project milestones
