The team combines the strengths of Development & Engineering (D&E), Manufacturing, and Customer Support to ensure stable factory output, rapid issue resolution, and structural improvements across mature system generations. As a Production Engineer (Precision Mechanics) , you will focus on mechanical system behavior, precision motion assemblies, structural rigidity, tolerance-driven failures, vibration/coupling effects, and mechanical root-cause analysis impacting system performance. This role is hands-on, system-oriented, and highly collaborative with D&E to drive structural solutions and prevent repeat mechanical issues. Role and responsibilities Mechanical System Troubleshooting & Analysis Diagnose mechanical issues across PAS5500/YS/RH/XT modules, including precision stages, handlers, structural frames, bearings, flexures, linkages, brackets, actuators, and alignment mechanisms . Perform in-depth investigations such as tolerance stack-up analysis, clearance/fit verification, torque behavior checks, thermal drift evaluation, friction/stiction assessment, and fatigue/wear pattern analysis . Identify root causes involving misalignment, deformation, vibration coupling, assembly variation, mechanical instability , or loading inconsistencies. Motion & Mechatronics Related Mechanical Issues Analyze mechanical contributions to motion anomalies (position/velocity/acceleration behavior, following error, settling time). Collaborate with S&C, electrical, and mechatronics engineers to interpret motion profiles, dynamic responses, mechanical resonances, backlash/compliance , and mechanical‑control coupling effects. Support investigations into sensor/actuator mechanical interfaces involving mounting stiffness, interface design, alignment, and structural rigidity . 3rd-Line Engineering & Structural Fixes Work with D&E on deep-dive mechanical investigations, structured root cause analysis (RCA), and validation of structural or design-related solutions. Define clear mechanical problem statements when issues persist beyond 1st/2nd-line troubleshooting. Review ECN proposals , verify mechanical design changes, and confirm effectiveness of implemented corrective actions. Documentation & Diagnostic Improvements Maintain and enhance mechanical drawings, assembly sequences, inspection procedures, torque guidelines , and mechanical diagnostic methods. Identify gaps in mechanical diagnostics and propose new procedures, test steps, measurement tools, or workflows to strengthen troubleshooting efficiency and system reliability. Create mechanical troubleshooting guides and lead diagnostic improvements across modules. Production Support & Mechanical Stability Improvements Ensure stable factory performance of mechanical modules across PAS5500/YS/RH/XT. Lead DOE, measurement data analysis, structural validation , and mechanical hypothesis testing. Evaluate mechanical design or process changes and quantify their impact on yield, robustness, stability , and issue recurrence reduction.
