R&D ENGINEER

Responsibilities:

Develop new probe card technologies, in particular new contact probe technologies (probes) and their mechanics (probe head) from the design phase, to prototyping and characterisation up to production release.

Design:

• Study existing technologies and their optimisation
• Develop innovative solutions
• Electrical and mechanical modelling/dimensioning of the probe head and its parts
• Introduce new mechanical solutions and materials
• Prepare executive drawings

Prototyping and characterisation:

• Design prototypes and experiments aimed at qualifying new technologies under development and optimising existing technologies
• Carry out electrical, mechanical, and thermal characterisation measurements, independently or with the support of laboratory technicians.
• Analyse failures
• Improve/implement measurement set-ups and characterisation procedures
• Analyse characterisation data, draft technical summary documentation

Tutoring and transfer to production:

• Draft technical documentation supporting the design and production
• Draft run sheets (production support documentation) and subsequent tutoring of low-maturity products related to the relevant technological developments
• Support the transfer to production in collaboration with the process engineers in charge of industrialisation of the processes

Requirements:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Material Engineering or related fields
• Good 2D and 3D mechanical drawing skills
• Knowledge of material and/or structural mechanics
• Knowledge of numerical modelling and simulation software and/or scientific calculation software is preferable
• Good knowledge of spoken and written English
• Strong motivation to grow and an aptitude for teamwork
