Responsibilities:
Design mould, tooling and test socket solutions based on customer specifications, semiconductor packages, and testing requirements.
Utilize CAD tools (such as CREO, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar) to create detailed 3D models and technical drawings.
Ensure designs meet mechanical, thermal, and electrical performance requirements for high-precision semiconductor testing.
Select appropriate materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods to ensure product durability, precision, and cost-effectiveness.
Able to carry out the R&D of new test socket whenever the market trend is needed.
Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Product Development, Process Engineering, and Manufacturing, to refine designs and ensure compatibility with testing equipment and processes.
Provide technical support to manufacturing teams during prototyping, production, and assembly to resolve any design-related issues.
Engage with customers and vendors to ensure all moulds, tooling and test socket solutions meet functional requirements and industry standards.
Oversee the prototyping phase, ensuring that initial designs are built and tested effectively.
Lead or participate in validation and testing efforts to ensure the tooling and test sockets perform under specified conditions (e.g., temperature, mechanical stress, electrical signals, thermodynamics).
Analyse test data and provide feedback for continuous improvement in design and materials.
Continuously seek to improve design efficiency and product performance, optimizing socket contact interfaces, reducing testing time, and improving signal integrity.
Innovate by introducing new design techniques, materials, or technologies that improve the quality, reliability, and cost of the test sockets and tooling solutions.
Stay up-to-date with the latest semiconductor technologies and testing methodologies to ensure cutting-edge designs.
Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for all designs, including detailed engineering drawings, materials specifications, and manufacturing processes.
Create user manuals and technical documentation to guide customers and internal teams on the proper usage of tooling and test sockets.
Qualifications:
At least Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
Proficiency in & Hands-on experience with CAD software for mechanical design and simulation (e.g., CREO, SolidWorks, or AutoCAD).
Knowledge of materials science, particularly in relation to thermal management, wear resistance, and conductivity
Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and address complex technical challenges.
Strong attention to detail and precision in design and documentation.
Ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team.
Effective communication skills for both internal team coordination and customer interactions.
Willingness to travel occasionally for customer visits, manufacturing site inspections, or vendor meetings.
