Mechanical Engineer

A Day in Your Life at MKS:

We are seeking a talented Mechanical Engineer to join our Valves & Integrated Products Engineering team in Bangalore. In this role, you will contribute to the design, development, testing, sustaining engineering, and documentation of advanced vacuum-based products, including isolation valves, pressure control valves, custom manifold solutions, and heated products.

The ideal candidate will possess strong mechanical design expertise, hands-on experience in prototype development and testing, and a solid foundation in product development engineering. Experience with vacuum systems, sealing technologies, actuators, and precision mechanical components is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, document, build, and test vacuum isolation valves, pressure control valves, custom manifold solutions, and related mechanical products.
• Develop mechanical assemblies comprising machined and welded components, static and dynamic sealing solutions, and rotary or linear pneumatic, electrical, and mechanical actuators.
• Create and maintain detailed 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using CAD tools such as Autodesk Inventor, Creo and/or SolidWorks.
• Apply effective Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) methodologies to ensure product functionality, manufacturability, and quality.
• Select appropriate materials and design features based on performance requirements, reliability targets, manufacturing capabilities, and cost considerations.
• Collaborate with suppliers, manufacturing teams, and other stakeholders to optimize designs for production.
• Support product verification activities including prototype builds, testing, data analysis, root-cause investigations, and design improvements.
• Participate in all phases of product development, including requirements definition, concept development, detailed design, engineering analysis, design reviews, validation, and release to production.
• Generate and maintain engineering documentation, including specifications, drawings, test plans, reports, and change documentation.
• Prepare and deliver technical presentations and effectively communicate design decisions to cross-functional teams.
• Independently manage engineering assignments while collaborating effectively with global cross-functional teams.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in mechanical product design and development.
• Experience working with Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modelling and engineering drawing creation, preferably using Autodesk Inventor, Creo and/or SolidWorks.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, tolerance stack-up analysis, and GD&T.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing processes including machining, welding, and mechanical assembly.
• Experience developing, building, and testing mechanical prototypes.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced knowledge and practical application of GD&T.
• Experience with vacuum systems, vacuum technology, semiconductor equipment, or other high-technology capital equipment.
• Knowledge of thermal and mechanical analysis, simulation, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles.
• Familiarity with pneumatic, electrical, and electromechanical actuation system.
