Our development programs help support your growth, shaping your future and pushing the boundaries of innovation to unleash potential.
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Mechatronics/Robotics Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will bring robust expertise in control systems engineering with a demonstrated background in closed-loop visual servo control, image processing, servo motor integration, and control software development. You will play a key role in the design, development, and implementation of complex robotic and electromechanical systems across diverse applications.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop electromechanical systems, integrating robotics with advanced control architectures.
- Implement visual-aided closed-loop control systems, including camera-based feedback and real-time motion adjustment.
- Apply image processing algorithms to guide robotic motion and decision-making, using OpenCV, MATLAB, or similar libraries.
- Develop and tune servo control systems, ensuring precision, responsiveness, and system stability.
- Program and deploy control software for robotic platforms and embedded controllers (e.g., in C/C++, Python, ROS, etc.).
- Develop, debug, and maintain PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programs using platforms such as Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or Beckhoff.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to ensure seamless integration of components.
- Participate in system prototyping, testing, validation, and field deployment.
- Document system architecture, design decisions, testing procedures, and performance metrics.
- Provide technical support for troubleshooting, upgrades, and maintenance of deployed systems.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of industry experience in robotics, automation, or electromechanical systems.
- Proven expertise in control systems, including PID tuning, kinematics, and dynamic modeling.
- Hands-on experience with machine vision and image processing
- Strong background in servo drive configuration and motor control.
- Proficiency in control software development, including embedded and real-time systems.
- Experience with PLC programming, ladder logic, and industrial communication protocols.
- Familiarity with robotic frameworks such as ROS, and tools like MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, or TwinCAT is a plus.
- Familiarity with low-level communication interfaces (e.g., CAN bus, I2C, SPI, UART) for connecting and controlling sensors, actuators, and embedded devices.
- Basic knowledge of mechanical design principles and CAD tools, enabling effective collaboration on robotic hardware design and modifications.
- Experience with sensor integration (incorporating cameras, LIDAR, proximity sensors, etc.) and processing sensor data for real-time decision making.
- Skills in actuator control – hands-on experience controlling motors, servos, or pneumatic actuators and developing algorithms for motion and trajectory control.
- Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and automation requirements – experience with industrial robots (e.g., wafer handling robots or automated material transport systems) or a strong willingness to learn these applications is highly valued.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently or in teams.
- Excellent communication skills for technical documentation and interdepartmental collaboration.
