Pentamaster Corporation Berhad (Official) Hiring! Full Time MECHANICAL DESIGN SECTION HEAD in Pulau Pinang - Ricebowl

About the Role

• Lead and support mechanical design for automated equipment and ATE systems, from concept design to manufacturing.
• Drive R&D activities involving thermal management, burn-in systems, high-temperature test solutions, and test sockets. Provide technical guidance in precision mechanics, structural design, material selection, and thermal performance.
• Contribute innovative and practical solutions to improve reliability, manufacturability, and testing capability of new machines.

Responsibilities

• Work with R&D, Electrical, Software, and Marketing teams to define specifications for new automation machines, burn-in systems, X-ray equipment, and AOI systems.
• Design machine modules such as thermal assemblies, cooling/heating systems, sockets/fixtures, machine frames, and precision motion elements.
• Design and validate mechanical components for X-ray machines, including shielding structures, sample stages, and vibration-sensitive modules.
• Support AOI machine development, including camera mounting structures, lighting systems, optical pathways, and stable mechanical platforms.
• Conduct FEA/CFD simulations to evaluate thermal performance, structural strength, vibration, and airflow.
• Build prototypes (mechanical enclosures, thermal modules, test jigs) and perform testing, measurement, and validation.
• Participate in system integration, debugging, and engineering build of new machines.
• Identify technical risks early and propose corrective actions or design improvements.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers (for senior/manager levels).
• Collaborate with suppliers for fabrication, material selection, and component sourcing.

Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineering or relevant field.

Required Skills

• Experience in mechanical design for automation, equipment, or precision mechanisms.
• Exposure or interest in any of the following areas is a strong advantage:
• Thermal management (cooling/heating systems, heat transfer, airflow management)
• Burn-in ovens, thermal chambers, high-temperature test setups
• Test sockets, Burn-in boards, burn-in fixtures
• CFD/FEA simulations (ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, Inventor Nastran, etc.)
• Hands-on experience in assembly, debugging, and problem-solving.
• Familiar with 3D CAD tools (Inventor, SolidWorks, Creo, etc.).
• Able to work independently and handle R&D tasks with minimal guidance (for senior levels).
• Leadership and mentoring capability (for Section Head / Manager).
• Knowledge of motors, actuators, pneumatics, and motion systems.
• Understanding of material behaviour under thermal loads.
• Ability to run experiments, collect data, and validate design performance.
• Familiarity with electronics manufacturing or semiconductor testing environments.
