[Hiring] Mechanical Design Engineer @Celestica International LP

Role Description

We are seeking a high-caliber Mechanical Engineer to serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for complex Semiconductor Capital Equipment and industrial automation. Acting as a technical bridge between our customers and our global engineering teams, you will serve as a consultant, using your machine design experience to translate complex client requirements into scalable, high-performance solutions during the initial sales engagement. The ideal candidate is a strategic problem-solver who is equally comfortable providing high-level system architecture input as they are performing rigorous engineering calculations to confirm viable solutions. Once the solution and work scope are approved by the customer, the solution transfers to other engineering teams for detailed design.

The engineer regularly works with cross-functional teams of other engineers, customers, supply chain, and project leadership to ensure the concepts lead to robust and high-quality product development.

Qualifications

• 6-10 years of relevant experience in Capital Equipment machine design.
• Fabrication experience in assembly, sheet metal production, welding, or CNC machining is a plus.
• Semiconductor equipment experience is a plus.

Requirements

• Consult in the development of technical concepts for complex machinery, involving multiple domains.
• Lead and/or participate in cross-functional cost-reduction exercises (VAVE) to optimize existing designs without sacrificing system reliability.
• Partner with global customers to interpret technical specifications and develop the Engineering Scope of Work (SOW).
• Act as a Subject Matter Expert with comprehensive machine design experience.
• Analyze complex system trade-offs (e.g., latency vs. torque, cost vs. precision) to recommend optimized architectural solutions and deployment strategies.
• Participate in initiatives (engineering tool review, AI development, etc.).
• Initiate relationships with new vendors and technology partners to source cutting-edge mechatronic components.
• Perform engineering calculations and simulations (kinematics, thermal, or structural) to validate concept viability.
• Participate in technical design reviews with management, cross-functional engineering teams, and customers.
• Partner with the business development team to provide technical validation and feasibility assessments during the sales phase.
• Lead "Discovery" sessions with clients to extract functional requirements and translate them into technical specifications for the design team.
• Travel to customer sites as needed to lead design reviews, oversee complex system deployments, participate in VAVE workshops, or troubleshoot critical performance issues.
• Distill complex engineering concepts into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders (including C-suite executives).
• Act as the primary technical point of contact to manage design changes, scope creep, and technical alignment during the sales phase.
• 10%-25% domestic and international travel may be required.

Benefits

• Salary Range: $102k-$150k Annually.
• Medical insurance.
• Dental insurance.
• Vision insurance.
• Short and long term disability.
• Life insurance.
• Voluntary benefits.
• 401k plan with company match.
