Your challenge
ITEC is redefining Semiconductor Manufacturing. At ITEC we design and build high-volume, high-speed, and high-accuracy solutions that enable our customers to assemble and test 250 million semiconductors every single day.
Are you an experienced Mechanical Engineer who thrives in an environment where micrometers matter and innovation drives every design choice? We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our high-tech R&D and engineering team, where you will develop cutting-edge solutions for the next generation of semiconductor equipment.
We value your experience and ideas
In this role, you will work within a multidisciplinary team of top‑tier engineers, pushing the boundaries of motion control accuracy, cost-of-goods, thermal stability, dynamic behavior, and mechanical robustness.
You will have the freedom to innovate, the responsibility to lead, and the opportunity to influence products that shape the semiconductor industry worldwide.
Your Responsibilities
Mechanical design of high‑precision modules and systems used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
Translate system requirements into robust mechanical concepts, detailed designs, and validated solutions.
Develop, review, and support the team to create cost, mass and accuracy critical modules and parts.
Perform complex analyses (e.g., FEM, thermal, vibration, dynamics) to ensure optimal system performance.
Collaborate closely with mechatronics, electronics, optics, and manufacturing engineering.
Drive continuous improvement—in design quality, development processes, and product performance.
Ensure your designs remain manufacturable, cost‑effective, and compliant with industry standards.
Your Profile
You are an engineering professional with deep technical insight, a pragmatic mindset, and a passion for high‑precision technology. You enjoy solving complex engineering challenges and working in a fast‑paced, cutting‑edge environment.
Besides that you have:
A master’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
10 years of experience in mechanical design, preferably within the semiconductor, high‑precision, robotics, or mechatronics domain.
Proven experience with 3D CAD tools (e.g., NX, SolidWorks, Creo) and simulation software.
Strong analytical capabilities and expertise in precision engineering principles.
A proactive mindset, strong communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
A structured, quality‑driven approach to engineering challenges.
