What you’ll do
- Design and develop precision mechatronic and mechanical subsystems for advanced semiconductor inspection and metrology equipment.
- Develop motion-control architectures and high-accuracy positioning mechanisms, including mechanisms for EUV applications.
- Model system dynamics and tune controllers to optimize precision, stability, settling time, and disturbance rejection.
- Develop and apply digital signal processing algorithms to improve sensor, actuator, and control-system performance.
- Create test plans, automation, data-acquisition methods, and validation tools using MATLAB/Simulink and Python.
- Produce 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, tolerance analyses, simulations, and clear engineering documentation.
- Integrate mechanical, electrical, controls, optics, firmware, and software elements while collaborating across multidisciplinary teams.
- Troubleshoot prototypes and production systems, driving design improvements from concept through release and lifecycle support.
What we’re looking for
- A relevant degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, controls, electrical engineering, or a related field, plus experience appropriate to the role level.
- Hands-on experience with precision mechatronic systems, motion stages, actuators, sensors, and multidisciplinary system integration.
- Strong controls fundamentals, including system dynamics, feedback control, controller tuning, and vibration and disturbance mitigation.
- Experience with digital signal processing, signal analysis, filtering, and real-time implementation for mechatronic applications.
- Proficiency with MATLAB/Simulink and Python for modeling, analysis, automation, and test development.
- Familiarity with 3D CAD, tolerance analysis, structural and thermal analysis, FEA, and precision manufacturing methods.
- Proven ability to plan experiments, analyze data, debug complex hardware/software interactions, and validate performance and reliability.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills across systems, optics, electronics, software, manufacturing, supplier, and service teams.
