Senior Mechanical Engineer

Senior Mechanical Engineer – Semiconductor Metrology & Inspection Systems

Rigaku Semiconductor Instruments is a leader in developing cutting-edge inspection and metrology solutions for the semiconductor and microelectronics industries. Our team is dedicated to advancing technology through innovative hardware and software, delivering precise and reliable solutions that meet the evolving needs of our global clients.

We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems and assemblies. This role includes full ownership of the mechanical design process — from system and sub-system requirements definition, through detailed mechanical design of dynamic assemblies, pneumatic solutions, and cooling systems, to production support, integration, and testing. The position requires strong hands-on design capabilities, independent work, and close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams including system, electronics, quality, and manufacturing.

Requirements:

• Mechanical Engineer, graduate of a recognized university in Israel
• Minimum 10 years of relevant industry experience
• Proven experience designing dynamic assemblies, including sub-assembly requirements definition (motors, sensors, quality, cleanliness, accuracy, repeatability, stability), pneumatic solutions, and precision degrees of freedom at micron-level resolution (linear and rotational motion)
• Experience designing cooling assemblies, including connector and piping/tubing selection and relevant engineering calculations (flow resistance, minimum flow rate, heat dissipation)
• Experience in strength and structural analysis
• Broad familiarity with manufacturing methods, including welding, precision machining, various 3D printing technologies, and design across multiple materials (polymers and metals)
• Ability to work fully independently through all design phases, leading definition, development, testing, and release of assigned modules

Advantages:

• Experience in the microelectronics industry
• Master's degree (Systems Engineering or an advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering)

Interested candidates are invited to apply.
