Mechatronic Design Engineer (Jr./Sr.)

Purpose: As a Mechatronic Design Engineer, you design and develop high-precision mechatronic modules and advanced motion systems for the semiconductor industry. You focus on next-generation, high-accuracy systems, including module-level test platforms, in a multidisciplinary, international setting. Your role includes programming Beckhoff PLC-based motion control software, optimizing system performance across mechanical, electrical, and control disciplines. You collaborate with cross-functional teams, take end-to-end ownership, support integration, and evaluate motion control performance.

Key Area of Responsibilities:

• Develop, test, and maintain PLC software (TwinCAT); implement safety, synchronization, diagnostics, and machine logic. Create HMI interfaces and automated report generation.
• Design and implement motion systems and control loops to meet demanding accuracy, stability, and throughput requirements. Perform motion control tuning and signal analysis to achieve required dynamic performance.
• Translate customer and system requirements into clear motion and control specifications for modules and systems.
• Conduct calculations, simulations, and tests (frequency response, step response, control stability, etc.) and interpret their implications for system performance.
• Contribute to the organization’s competence in motion control, PLC programming, and system dynamics.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems & Control, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of hands‑on experience in PLC programming, motion control design,  or high‑accuracy mechatronic systems. Experience in the semiconductor industry or other high‑precision domains is a strong plus.
• Strong experience with Beckhoff TwinCAT or similar PLC/motion platforms (e.g., B&R, Siemens, Omron). Familiarity with EtherCAT‑based architectures is a plus.
• Experience with simulation tools (MATLAB, Simulink, Python) and measurement instruments (oscilloscopes, vibrometers, data acquisition systems) is beneficial
• Proficiency with CAD software such as SolidWorks, NX, or similar tools.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and proven capability to work efficiently within a collaborative team setting.
