Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer

Halo Industries has developed technology that replaces an outdated semiconductor material slicing process. Our innovative, laser-based solution not only minimizes waste but also enhances material efficiency, thereby enabling advancements across high-growth markets, including automotive, telecommunications, and power electronics. Founded in 2014 at Stanford University, Halo Industries secured significant funding in 2024, fueling our expansion and the preparation for volume manufacturing.

Halo Industries is seeking a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer who will lead in the design, testing, integration and deployment of both proprietary and commercial wafer processing equipment. Working with Halo's product and manufacturing teams, the hired candidate will contribute to the optimization and scaled deployment of Halo's technology.

The primary responsibilities of the position include:

Lead the design, build, and test of high-precision electro-mechanical R&D and production manufacturing equipment and tooling, starting from initial process conceptualization through to production deployment on factory floors

Serve as a technical lead on major engineering projects, spearheading research and development of new technologies, methods, and design approaches

Specify and perform significantly complex mechanical analyses, including structural, thermal, and tolerance studies

Build prototypes and validate designs

Release parts, assemblies, drawings and ECO's needed for product release and product support

Communicate requirements, timelines and deliverables clearly in written and verbal formats

Work with fabricators, using DFM principles to achieve robust designs that aren't unnecessarily complicated

Work with NPI to provide the resources and documentation needed to deploy Halo's equipment at scale

Work with software, electrical, optical and systems engineers to produce integrated solutions to manufacturing needs

Conduct root cause analysis of test failures and production issues to improve performance

Review mechanical engineering designs of other Halo Industries engineers in both a formal and informal capacity

Mentor and guide less experienced engineers in the areas of product development and mechanical design
