Be Part of Our Success Story as We Expand and Evolve*

Purpose

As Lead Mechatronic Design Engineer, you are the technical lead for the development of machine automation, motion control systems, test equipment and qualification tooling for semiconductor manufacturing and other high-tech applications.

Within multidisciplinary development teams, you take ownership of the controls and automation aspects throughout the complete product development lifecycle, from requirements analysis and concept development through software implementation, verification, commissioning and product release.

You combine strong expertise in PLC software engineering, motion control and machine automation with a hands‑on engineering mindset. You provide technical leadership, coaching and guidance to mechatronic engineers, while helping to further develop the controls and automation engineering competence within the organization.

Key Area of Responsibilities

Take ownership of the controls, automation and motion-control scope within development projects and provide technical leadership to mechatronic engineers

Analyze customer, product and system requirements and translate these into control architectures, software requirements and implementation strategies

Support early project phases by evaluating concepts, defining technical scope, identifying technical risks and developing engineering effort estimates

Define software architectures, machine operating sequences, state machines and motion-control concepts

Lead the development of PLC, HMI and motion-control solutions using platforms such as Beckhoff TwinCAT, Python and MATLAB

Lead the development and implementation of factory automation solutions that improve manufacturing efficiency, quality and operational performance by working closely with our manufacturing and assembly teams.

Lead the design and development of test, validation and qualification equipment used for product qualification in our factory

Define and verify motion-control performance related to accuracy, stability, repeatability and throughput

Support system integration, commissioning, validation and qualification activities

Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software and system engineers to develop integrated machine solutions

Coach and mentor engineers in PLC programming, motion control, software engineering and engineering best practices

Contribute to the development of mechatronics engineering standards, development methodologies and competence growth within the organization

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Systems & Control Engineering, Software Engineering or a related discipline

Approximately 10 years of experience in industrial automation, machine control, motion control or mechatronic system development

Extensive experience with PLC programming and HMI development for industrial equipment, preferably Beckhoff TwinCAT (Structured Text)

Knowledge of EtherCAT-based system architectures is an advantage

Experience with software engineering practices, including version-control systems such as Bitbucket or Git

Strong experience with motion-control systems, servo systems and high-precision machine automation

Experience with simulation, debugging and performance analysis using tools such as Python, MATLAB, Simulink or equivalent

Experience developing or supporting test, validation and qualification systems is highly desirable

Experience with semiconductor equipment, precision engineering systems or other high-tech capital equipment is preferred

Strong systems-thinking capability, analytical problem-solving skills and a passion for machine automation and motion control

Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
