R&D Engineer (Mechanical Design)

Department Overview:

The stage R&D department develops new technologies and products for the stage business unit. We work on a wide range ofproducts 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&Dteam comprises members with diverse technical specialities working in an interdisciplinary setting on some of the mostchallenging technical problems in the company.

Job Description

• Carry out mechanical design of multi-axis stages and motion systems.
• Carry out basic engineering analysis & computation to validate preliminary design concepts.
• Carry out finite element analysis to optimise and validate mechanical static and dynamic. characteristics-Prepare engineering drawing packages (2D and 3D) for manufacturing.
• Prepare manufacturing documentation of new products (e.g. assembly drawings, work instructions, test plans) to prepare for transfer to manufacturing.
• Conduct hands-on assembly and mechatronics debugging of prototype stages or motion systems.
• Design and conduct experiments to address gaps in knowledge and mitigate technical risk of design.
• Work with local and overseas teams (such as Sales, Applications, Manufacturing) within the organisation to support theentire product lifecycle (i.e. from conceptualisation to commercialisation).

Qualifications

• Undergraduate training in Mechanical / Mechatronics engineering or related field, prefer GPA better than 4 out of 5.
• Preferably with 1-2 Year(s) of working experience in relevant engineering industry.
• Applicants without experience but with good learning ability are welcome to apply.
• We will consider applicants with alternative background with strong interest and motivation to learn.
