Department Overview:
The stage R&D department develops new technologies and products for the stage business unit. We work on a wide range of products ranging from ultraprecision systems that achieve nanometer-level precision for semiconductor applications, to large format and highly dynamic gantry systems capable of accelerating hundreds of kilograms of mass in excess of 4 g's. The R&D team comprises members with diverse technical specialities working in an interdisciplinary setting on some of the most challenging technical problems in the company.
Job Description
- Carry out development work in the area of Mechatronic motion-control systems (primarily in applications of ultra-precision motion systems using direct drive motors)
- Design, simulate and tune commercial motion controllers to achieve optimal motion profile.
- Perform testing and fine-tuning on existing multi-axis stages and/or a prototype motion systems.
- Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineers and Application teams to adopted a holistic Mechatronics Control Design methodology.
- Size, source, select and procure suitable electrical components, drivers, controllers and power supply based on application requirements.
- Work with other local and overseas teams (such as Sales, Applications, Manufacturing) within the organisation to support the entire product lifecycle (i.e. from conceptualisation to commercialisation).
- Any task assigned by the superior.
Qualifications
- Candidate must possess at least Bachelor's Degree / Master's Degree and/or equivalent, preferably in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and/or any other relevant course of study.
- We will consider If applicants with alternative background with strong interest and motivation to learn.
- Preferably with 1-5 Year(s) of working experience in relevant engineering industry.
- Applicants without experience but with good learning ability are welcome to apply.
Other Information
Skillset(s) Requirement:
