Mechanical Engineer

Job Summary

Responsible for the installation, commissioning, calibration, preventive & correctivemaintenance, troubleshooting, and performance optimization of Laser Routersystems, Mitutoyo precision metrology instruments, Plasma process/etchequipment, and Thermal Ovens. Ensures high equipment uptime, measurementaccuracy, process stability, personnel safety, and full compliance with qualitystandards and local safety regulations.

Key Responsibilities — ByEquipment Category

1. Laser Router

• Install, align, commission, and perform safety interlock checks on laser routing / ablation / cutting systems.
• Execute preventive maintenance (optics inspection & cleaning, motion system calibration, chiller & exhaust servicing, laser power verification).
• Troubleshoot laser power loss, beam misalignment, positioning errors, motion faults, and control system alarms; perform root-cause analysis and implement corrective/preventive actions (8D / FMEA).
• Optimize machine parameters for cut quality, speed, and consistency; update SOPs and maintenance schedules.
• Maintain accurate service logs, PM records, and equipment history; liaise with vendor support for complex repairs or firmware upgrades.

1. Mitutoyo PrecisionMetrology (CMM, Vision Systems, Measuring Tools)

• Perform periodic calibration, verification, and accreditation checks on Mitutoyo Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), vision & video measurement systems, and precision instruments.
• Conduct preventive maintenance: clean air bearings, inspect linear scales, calibrate probes & stylus systems, verify temperature/humidity environment controls.
• Troubleshoot measurement deviations, axis positioning errors, probe/vision recognition faults, and software/hardware communication issues.
• Issue calibration certificates with proper traceability; manage calibration schedules and due-date tracking; support internal & external audits.
• Train production/QA users on proper equipment operation, care, and basic checks to prevent misuse.

1. Plasma Equipment (Etch/ Surface Treatment / Cleaning)

• Maintain plasma process systems: RF generator matching, chamber vacuum & pressure systems, gas delivery & mass-flow controllers, electrode & electrostatic chuck condition, temperature controls.
• Perform scheduled wet cleans, chamber parts replacement, and consumable servicing to minimize particle contamination and maintain process uniformity.
• Troubleshoot RF faults, vacuum leaks, chamber pressure instabilities, gas flow alarms, and process drift; execute root-cause analysis.
• Support process qualification, performance monitoring via SPC/FDC, and uptime/yield improvement projects.

1. Thermal Ovens /Furnaces / Cure / Bake Systems

• Maintain temperature uniformity, ramp/soak profiles, airflow/pressure balance, and safety systems (overtemp protection, door interlocks)
• Calibrate temperature sensors, thermocouples, and recording instruments; validate thermal profiles across load zones.
• Perform preventive maintenance: heating elements, insulation, blower motors, filters, and exhaust systems; resolve temperature deviation, overshoot, or non-uniformity issues.
• Ensure thermal performance meets process specs; log thermal data and support audit requirements.
• Comply with fire safety and heated-equipment protocols per SCDF and WSH guidelines.

Qualifications &Requirements

• Diploma / Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Precision Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Hands-on experience maintaining at least two of the four equipment types listed; semiconductor / precision manufacturing background preferred.
• Familiarity with calibration standards (ISO 17025, ISO 9001), SPC, and basic troubleshooting methodologies (8D, Fishbone, FMEA).
• Competent in reading mechanical, pneumatic, vacuum, and electrical schematics; proficiency with precision measuring instruments.
• Knowledge of Singapore WSH, SEMI-S2, and cleanroom safety practices is highly valued.
• Proficient in MS Office and ERP/MES systems for work-order management and reporting.
• Shift readiness and occasional on-call support may be required for critical production environments.
