Applied Materials is a global leader in materials engineering solutions used to produce virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world.
We design, build and service cutting-edge equipment that helps our customers manufacture display and semiconductor chips – the brains of devices we use every day.
As the foundation of the global electronics industry, Applied enables the exciting technologies that literally connect our world – like AI and IoT.
If you want to push the boundaries of materials science and engineering to create next generation technology, join us to deliver material innovation that changes the world.

As a Mechanical Engineer, you’ll leverage your strong foundation in physics, mathematics, and materials science to process and resolve mechanical problems, design and implement custom mechanical tooling and associated processes, and enable the handling, assembly, and disassembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies throughout the product life cycle.
You'll be responsible for designing, developing, and modifying mechanical engineering layouts, schematics, and specifications.
You will oversee manufacturing and installation processes, ensuring adherence to industry standards and regulations-- and you'll coordinate the procurement and assembly of mechanical components and equipment for design projects, identifying sources of critical parts and subsystems to resolve technical issues.
Lead the system-level mechanical architecture, design, integration, and validation of precision patterning semiconductor equipment.
Translate process and product requirements into robust mechanical solutions that achieve sub-micron accuracy, thermal stability, process uniformity, reliability, and manufacturability.
Own system performance across motion, thermal, structural, fluidic, substrate handling, and controls interfaces

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master's preferred).
8–12+ years of experience in semiconductor or precision capital equipment development.
Demonstrated success delivering system-level mechanical solutions from concept through production.

Define system architecture, requirements, interfaces, performance budgets, and verification strategies.
Translate process and customer requirements into subsystem specifications and measurable performance targets.
Drive system integration and ensure compliance with performance, throughput, reliability, safety, and cost objectives.
Design and integrate precision motion systems, substrate handling modules, process assemblies, tooling, fixtures, and gas delivery systems.
Develop solutions for positioning accuracy, alignment, flatness, vibration control, structural stiffness, and thermal stability.
Design relevant jigs & fixtures to achieve the precision & system calibration procedures.
Create and release engineering documentation, drawings, and specifications using NX and PLM tools.
