New Product Development Engineer (Semiconductor) – New & Recent University Graduate Program

This is an ideal opportunity for recent graduates and is designed to develop and accelerate the next generation of engineers. Our Engineer will focus on growing knowledge and expertise in new product development and manufacturing through 2-3 different Watlow locations with a final placement in San Jose, California. The duration and location of sites will be determined based on business needs at the time of rotation. Relocation assistance will be provided while in the program.     From day one, you will collaborate with mentors and team leaders while you learn the sub-systems of product development. Along the way, you will realize Watlow’s culture of self-actualization, build long lasting friendships with other new engineers and fun is on a level you’ve never imagined. Following the completion of the program you’ll take the technical and leadership skills gained from the rotation and transition into a non-rotational role based out of our Advanced Development Center (ADC) located in in San Jose, California. At our ADC, we develop and introduce new product solutions (NPD/NPI) used in the fabrication of Integrated Circuits (computer chips) for our Semiconductor customers.    About the Program Grow Your Technical Expertise in Manufacturing & New Product Development – Learn how electrical and mechanical engineers work through new product development designing innovative manufacturing systems that will deliver industry-leading thermal systems products for the semiconductor industry.   Initially, your rotational assignment will involve building a foundation in electrical/mechanical engineering learning about system designs, programming processes, basic lean principles and understanding the principals of Semiconductor IC manufacturing. Later, you will mostly focus on controls and will rotate through various areas learning about new product development, building prototypes, translating new concept design that drives products and processes improvements and interfacing with customers.   Key Responsibilities Partnering with Senior Engineers for design improvements Collaborating with New Product Development teams Building Prototypes Conducting and Interpreting test processes and procedures Identifying and interpreting customer needs to define design specifications Preparing technical briefs and providing support literature for products Developing products and processes that deliver innovative solutions   Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, or a related degree. Prior internship/co-op experience preferred.

Salary : $70,000 - $90,000
