CAD Engineer II
Rochester Electronics, LLC, Newburyport, MA, United States
The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the modeling, design, and fabrication of semiconductor automated test fixtures and handler kits in support of the Test Engineering Team. This role also provides ongoing sustaining engineering support to the Manufacturing Organization, ensuring high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective production solutions.
Responsibilities
Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and systems for semiconductor automated test fixtures and handler kits
Create 3D models, detailed drawings, and documentation using CAD tools
Ensure designs meet functional, reliability, manufacturability, and cost requirements
Collaborate with Test Engineers to translate electrical and test requirements into mechanical solutions
Oversee fabrication, assembly, and validation of prototypes and production hardware
Work with internal shops and external vendors to source materials and components
Support fixture bring-up, debug, and qualification activities
Provide ongoing support for released designs in manufacturing
Troubleshoot mechanical issues impacting yield, performance, or throughput
Implement design improvements, ECOs (Engineering Change Orders), and cost reduction initiatives
Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for field and production issues
Partner with Test Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain teams
Communicate design intent, requirements, and changes effectively across stakeholders
Participate in design reviews and continuous improvement initiatives
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
3+ years of experience in mechanical design (semiconductor automated equipment preferred)
Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks or similar)
Experience designing precision mechanical assemblies and fixtures
Familiarity with semiconductor test equipment, handlers, or similar automation systems
Knowledge of materials, tolerancing (GD&T), and manufacturing processes (CNC, sheet metal, 3D printing, etc.)
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment
Hands‑on approach with a willingness to work in lab and manufacturing settings
Experience with thermal management and high‑precision alignment systems
Exposure to high-volume manufacturing environments
