Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer

Join Halo Industries as a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer, where you will lead the design, testing, integration, and deployment of wafer processing equipment. You will work closely with product and manufacturing teams to optimize and scale Halo's technology. Your responsibilities will include leading major engineering projects, performing complex mechanical analyses, building prototypes, and mentoring less experienced engineers.

• Lead the design, build, and test of high-precision electro-mechanical R&D and production manufacturing equipment and tooling.
• Serve as a technical lead on major engineering projects, spearheading research and development of new technologies, methods, and design approaches.
• Mentor and guide less experienced engineers in the areas of product development and mechanical design.
• Experience with Structural and Thermal FEA
• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering and 12+ years of professional experience (or M.S. / Doctorate and 10+ years of professional experience) in mechanical design engineering,
• Proficiency in CAD modeling (preferably Solidworks)
• Hands-on fabrication/prototyping experience, such as machining and additive manufacturing
• Experience in GD&T
• Proficiency in precision machine design
• Hands-on experience designing, assembling, testing, and debugging mechanical and electro-mechanical equipment
• Minimal Iteration Development (get it right earlier) skills
• Familiarity with precision engineering concepts such as micro positioning, kinematic design, dynamic system analysis, thermal compensation and optomechanical design
• Experience with manufacturing documentation including BOMs and assembly drawings
• Experience in machine design for high precision industries (i.e. semiconductors, imaging, life sciences)
• Expertise in mechatronics/automation design (motor sizing, actuator design, sensor selection, etc.)
• Experience in industrial automation (robotics, transfer mechanisms, control systems)
• Past startup experience and insights/lessons learned on effective scaling from R&D to production
