**AIXTRON’s new manufacturing & engineering hub in Malaysia**

We are building a new greenfield manufacturing and engineering hub in Batu Kawan, Penang. The site will provide a **state-of-the-art cleanroom environment for assembly & testing of our high-end systems** and will contribute to engineering for the **next generation of products**. Operations are planned to start in 2027 with a rapid ramp-up. Beyond technology, the new location is designed as a **modern workplace** with state-of-the art office and amenities —built to foster collaboration and a strong focus on people's wellbeing.

**Who we are looking for**

We are looking for **purpose-driven builders**: hands-on professionals with entrepreneurial spirit who enjoy setting up structures, improving processes and taking ownership in a fast-moving environment. As pioneers of our Malaysia site, you will help to shape not only your function, but also how we work together locally — while being connected to a global team of around **1,000 employees from ~60 nationalities** across Asia, Europe and the US. We offer competitive benefits, outstanding technical expertise, development opportunities and training.

**About the role**

The role of an Electro-mechanical Engineer is a core architect of the electro‑mechanical and mechanical backbone behind cutting-edge semiconductor equipment. This is a high‑impact, hands‑on position where you shape complex architectures, engineer precision interfaces, and push the limits of what these systems can do.

You’ll drive robust, high-performance designs across mechanical structures, vacuum assemblies, power pathways, and control interfaces—ensuring every module you touch is manufacturable, serviceable, and built for long‑term reliability. As a key technical owner, you’ll influence system‑level architecture decisions, champion design excellence, and collaborate with cross‑functional experts in manufacturing, service, compliance, and engineering to bring breakthrough hardware to life.

**Responsibilities**

• Design and optimize complex mechanical and electro-mechanical assemblies and multi-interface architectures
• Develop robust tolerance concepts and geometric dimensioning strategies
• Integrate vacuum systems, power distribution elements, sensors, actuators and motion components
• Define scalable control architecture and programmable logic controller topology for modular systems
• Lead system-level trade-offs, manage requirements and ensure interface alignment
• Drive Design for Manufacturing and cost-optimized solutions across the product lifecycle
• Conduct structured root cause analysis and support risk assessments such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Manage technical changes within Product Lifecycle Management systems and mitigate cross-module impacts
• Create and maintain high-quality technical documentation, drawings and specifications in English

**Qualifications & Skills**

• Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics or electrical Engineering
• 2–10 years of professional experience in electro-mechanical system design
• Strong expertise in 3D Computer Aided Design tools (e.g. Creo) and Product Lifecycle Management systems
• Solid knowledge of electro-mechanical architecture, materials engineering and vacuum technology
• Experience with power distribution, automation topology and motion systems
• Structured problem-solving skills and analytical mindset
• Familiarity with ISO, CE and SEMI standards
• Proven ownership, cross-functional collaboration and learning agility
• Fluent English communication skills (written and spoken)
