Mechanical Systems Test Engineer (Santa Clara)
SoloPoint Solutions, Santa Clara, CA, United States
Qualifications:
BSME - 10+ years in
Semiconductor equipment, material handling, automation and robotics (solar and disk drives)
SolidWorks, EPDM, Documentation, GD&T, Tolerance Stack-Up
Strong hands-on experience testing, characterization, troubleshooting of complex automation equipment
Experience in developing and documenting test procedures, test data, SOP’s, best practices
Strong familiarity in mechatronics/automation design (motor sizing, actuator design, sensor selection, etc.)
Industrial automation and control systems (VFD and servo drives, multi-axis robots, PLCs) a plus
Experience with optics, lasers, x-rays, lenses a plus
Responsibilities:
Perform hands-on testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis across predominantly Mechanical, but also Electrical and Controls domains.
Define critical aspects of machine performance and develop corresponding tests and tuning methods.
