The Role
- Architect precision motion & control subsystems – multi-axis, ultraprecision ≪1 µm, high speed, high force, extreme process reliability.
- Own embedded-electronics & firmware lifecycle – mixed-signal PCBs, C/C++ in RTOS, and device networking (e.g. CANopen, EtherCAT).
- Build vision-guided alignment loops – Specify cameras, illumination and sub-pixel fiducial algorithms; integration with software & hardware.
- Commission, tune & verify systems – Create HIL/bench rigs and statistical test plans that prove repeatability and reliability.
- Integrate across disciplines & programmes – Translate precision, yield, uptime and serviceability goals into control-system choices.
- Own the full electromechanical hardware lifecycle – Drive design, vendor selection, procurement, fabrication/assembly, V&V.
- Safety & compliance – Ensure designs meet relevant SEMI / IEC / WHS standards; maintain full design history and risk analyses.
- Experience: ≥ 8 years in mechatronics, mechanical design, or related engineering fields. Startup, semicon or advanced R&D experience is a plus.
- Mindset: You “get stuff done”, iterate quickly and don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
- Cross-Disciplinary Mindset – solid understanding of mechanical, electrical, software and optical systems.
- Submicron motion control – air bearings, peizos, vibration damping, multi axis control.
- Vision & metrology: sub-pixel fiducial-alignment, sub-micron metrology
- Lithography, Die- & wafer-bonding Experience
- Active thermal control solutions holding ± 0.01 °C.
- Safety, compliance & quality oversight: Fluency with SEMI S-series (S1/S2/S8)
