Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Leadership & Quality Governance

• Design Oversight: Direct the design and integration of mechanical components into high-level assemblies, ensuring optimal system packaging and spatial efficiency.
• Safety & Compliance Authority: Lead the review of all mechanical designs against international safety codes and semiconductor industry regulations (e.g., SEMI S2/S8).
• GD&T Integrity: Enforce Level 1 GD&T certification standards across the team to ensure absolute repeatability in global manufacturing.
• Interference & Stress Analysis: Oversee the execution of deep-dive interference analysis and mechanical simulations to validate design integrity before production release.

2. Project & Lifecycle Management

• Engineering Velocity: Create and maintain detailed project calendars, managing team resources to ensure all milestones are met within tight deadlines.
• PLM Discipline: Manage the full design release cycle, ensuring all CAD models, 2D drawings, and concomitant documentation (BOMs, ECNs) are meticulously maintained.
• Manufacturing Liaison: Act as the primary technical point of contact for resolving complex issues found at supplier or manufacturing sites during assembly and integration.

3. Innovation & Strategic Research

• R&D Integration: Partner with the R&D division to identify and implement new mechanical innovations and research into current and future product lines.
• Market Analysis: Advise senior leadership on product market demand through technical data analysis and feasibility studies.
• Global Coordination: Manage regular technical communication with counterparts in Asia, Europe, and the USA to ensure project alignment and technical uniformity.

4. Team Development & Performance

• Performance Management: Set clear KPIs for the mechanical team, providing regular technical coaching and professional development.
• Mentorship: Guide engineers through complex problem-solving scenarios, particularly in laboratory testing and component evaluation phases.
• Resource Allocation: Optimize the use of CAD tools, simulation software, and lab facilities to maintain a high standard of engineering output.

Required Skills& Qualifications
