We are building Terafab, a vertically integrated semiconductor factory at unprecedented scale. Logic, memory, packaging, test, and lithography mask production in one facility, optimized for quick iteration and the highest density of compute.
As a Mechanical Tooling Engineer, you will design, build, and commission the mechanical systems that bring process tools online for 2nm-class manufacturing. That includes tool install, pedestals and vibration isolation, and mechanical connections for UPW, bulk gas, chemicals, exhaust, and environmental control. This is a ground-up greenfield build, and you will own it from concept through commissioning at one of the most ambitious fab programs in the world.
- Lead mechanical tooling for a greenfield 300mm fab, from concept through install and commissioning
- Design and specify the mechanical interface between facility systems and process tools. Challenge industry norms to get tools in faster, with the best overall outcome
- Own mechanical scope for process tools: PCW, UPW, process gases, chemicals, vacuum, exhaust, drains, pedestals, and vibration isolation
- Partner with construction, facilities, and equipment vendors on tool install plans. Review facility matrices, drawings, and layout against fab infrastructure and cleanroom constraints
- Coordinate mechanical install, including seismic anchoring, utility breakouts, and alignment to electrical and automation scope
- Define IQ/OQ/PQ for mechanical tooling and the facility-tool interface. Support vibration, temperature, humidity, particle, and AMC requirements
- Build install schedules for the production ramp. Close single points of failure and schedule risk, and coordinate EHS, SEMI S2/S8, and AHJ requirements
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent experience
- 6+ years semiconductor mechanical tooling, tool install, or facilities-to-tool interface, including cleanroom work
- Hands-on with multiple mechanical utility systems: UPW, process gases, PCW, HVAC/ECS, chemical distribution, and/or exhaust/abatement
- Experience taking tools from facilities matrix through mechanical install and commissioning.
- Familiarity with SMIF/FOUP automation, OHT, and vibration isolation for EUV-class lithography
- Experience with a greenfield 300mm fab
- Familiarity with SEMI S2/S8, AHJ requirements in Texas, and BIM tools (Revit, Navisworks)
