We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Mechanical Systems Engineer to join our Silicon Photonics Engineering team in Haifa, Israel. This role supports the development of advanced micro-mechanical and macro-automation systems for photonics and semiconductor test equipment. You will collaborate globally, reporting to the SiPh Engineering Manager in North Reading, MA, USA. In this role, you will design and develop precision mechanical systems that enable high-performance optical and semiconductor testing. Your work will directly support the rapid growth of AI and integrated photonics technologies.
Job Responsibility:
Design micro-mechanical systems using 3D CAD tools such as NX, AutoCAD, or SolidWorks
Develop micro-actuation hardware for photonic integrated circuit (PIC) optical connections, including fiber-to-chip and connector-to-receptacle interfaces
Engineer macro-automation solutions for integrated circuit (IC) handling from JEDEC trays
Model and characterize complex mechanical systems using FEA tools such as COMSOL or Ansys (preferred)
Use structural analysis and CAD tools to architect new modules and evaluate performance and limitations
Define and implement critical metrics and specifications aligned with product requirements and characterization methods
Influence product-level decisions through simulation, prototyping, and lab-based validation
Build custom unit tests and metrology hardware
perform hands-on measurements in the lab
Collaborate with suppliers to develop actuation modules, bring up test platforms, and conduct statistical analysis of performance and quality
Travel to supplier sites to support engineering builds and assist in failure analysis activities
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
advanced degree is a plus
5+ years of experience in designing and manufacturing complex micro-mechanical systems
Proficiency in SolidWorks, NX, or AutoCAD for 3D modeling and drawing creation
Experience with FEA tools such as COMSOL, Ansys, or SolidWorks Simulation
Familiarity with PLM systems (e.g., TeamCenter, WindChill) and CAD data management tools (e.g., SolidWorks EPDM)
Hands-on laboratory experience building equipment and performing testing and validation
Experience in traditional manufacturing and machining methods
Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and troubleshooting skills
Willingness to travel domestically and internationally (up to 20%)
