Responsibilities:

• Individual research responsibilities
  • Define technical solutions to meet the process engineers’ specifications.
  • Conduct flow, structural and thermal simulations of the deposition processes by means of commercial finite-element software.
  • Realize CAD designs and write specification documents.
  • Supervise the in-house or outsourced construction of structural parts of the deposition and characterization systems.
• Responsibilities as a team member
  • Coordinate with the machinist, the electronic/electrical engineer, vacuum engineer, and other members of the HTS machines design team.
  • Occasionally assist other groups (Fusion Engineering and/or Liquid Metals) if they have a peak in workload in the areas of mechanical design and modeling. Equivalently, work with mechanical engineers from other groups, if HTS has a peak in mechanical design and modeling activities.

Qualifications -essential:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in machine design.
• 1+ years of experience in mechanical parts machining.
• 3+ years of experience with SolidWorks.
• 3+ years of experience with ANSYS, COMSOL or other finite element software.
• Written and oral communication skills. Ability to explain complicated concepts in a clear, concise manner.
• Ability and drive to engage with a team of scientists and engineers, understand complex descriptions and needs, and ability to translate them into technical requirements and “on time, on budget, on specs” designs.
• Organizational and problem-solving skills, attention to detail and will to learn.
• Ability to work independently as well as in a team.

Qualifications -desirable:

• MSc degree in mechanical engineering or related field.
• Previous experience in the semiconductor and/or superconductor industry.
• Previous experience in designing physical and/or chemical deposition machines.
