- Design optical mounts, sub-micron precision adjustment mechanisms, and positioning systems
- Ability to architect mechatronic systems, select motors, sensors, drive components
- Strong control-theory foundation (feedback design, filtering, system dynamics)
- Solve real-world precision issues (vibration, resonance)
- Proficient in motion control, including servo tuning, stage control, and automation mapping
- Recognize and design simple and elegant structures
- Justify and quantify performance-based metrics that led to design decisions
- Finalize design through product release for current and future metrology instruments
- Create clear reports and documentation.
- Collaborate with Mechanical, Electrical, and Software teams, as well as Operations and Manufacturing.
Requirements
- 5+ years’ experience working as a Controls, Mechanical, or Mechatronic Engineer
- Masters degree or higher in science or engineering preferred
