The posting

The Company

Halo Industries has developed technology that replaces an outdated semiconductor material slicing process.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.

The Opportunity

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

Requirements

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering and 12+ years of professional experience (or M.S. / Doctorate and 10+ years of professional experience) in mechanical design engineering,
  • Proficiency in CAD modeling (preferably Solidworks)
  • Proficiency in precision machine design
  • Hands-on experience designing, assembling, testing, and debugging mechanical and electro-mechanical equipment
  • Experience with Structural and Thermal FEA
  • Experience in GD&T
  • Hands-on fabrication/prototyping experience, such as machining and additive manufacturing

Preferred Qualifications

  • Minimal Iteration Development (get it right earlier) skills
  • Familiarity with precision engineering concepts such as micro positioning, kinematic design, dynamic system analysis, thermal compensation and optomechanical design.
  • Experience with manufacturing documentation including BOMs and assembly drawings
  • Experience in machine design for high precision industries (i.e. semiconductors, imaging, life sciences)
  • Expertise in mechatronics/automation design (motor sizing, actuator design, sensor selection, etc.)
  • Experience in industrial automation (robotics, transfer mechanisms, control systems)
  • Past startup experience and insights/lessons learned on effective scaling from R&D to production

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Bonus Plan eligible
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
