Company Profile

The stage R&D department develops new technologies and motion system products, also known as stages, for the semiconductor industry. Combining Akribis' industry-leading direct-drive motor technology with excellent mechanical design, the motion systems we build position payloads with precision well below a micron, stable within nanometers, all in the timespan of milliseconds.

Achieving these feats require a broad range of engineering considerations ranging from mechanical design, control engineering, precision manufacturing and assembly, vibration control and isolation, metrology, etc. We are a multidisciplinary team of engineers working together on some of the most challenging motion control applications in the world.

Job Description
  • Responsible for leading mechanical development of advanced precision and ultraprecision motion systems (either new standard product development or build-to-spec projects)
  • Establish and document functional requirements for the product under development
  • Carry out first-order calculations and/or simulations to compare competing design concepts/architectures durign concept selection phase
  • Present technical concept proposal, supported by first-order calculation results, to achieve buy-in from key stakeholders (management, potential customers, etc.) -- Preliminary Design Review (PDR)
  • Carry out detailed design including structural component design, sensor and actuator selection, assembly plan, etc
  • Validate design through FEA and/or other engineering calculations (e.g. tolerance stackup analysis)
  • Generate and maintain detailed bill of materials
  • Prepare fabrication drawings, assembly drawings
  • Present detailed design and supporting simulations/calculations for review by key stakeholders -- Critical Design Review (CDR)
  • Release drawings for fabrication and assembly, providing engineering support when needed
  • Collaborate with project manager to ensure projects run on-schedule and within budget
  • Hands-on assembly and testing of prototype, including performance characterization with precison measuring equipment
  • Regularly update customer and internal stakeholders on project progress

Qualifications

  • Candidate must possess at least Bachelor's Degree and/or equivalent, preferably in mechanical engineering, mechatronics engineering, aerospace engineering, physics and/or any other relevant course of study.
  • Advanced degrees (Master's, PhD, EngD, etc.) in a relevant field are preferred.
  • At least 4 years of working experience in precision machine design (e.g. semiconductor equipment, machine tools, advanced packaging equipment) and/or related field/industry is required for this position.
  • At least 2 year of experience leading mechanical development projects from initial concept to prototype delivery.
  • Experience/knowledge in mechatronics and controls engineering, to broaden scope as a mechanical design engineer, is an advantage.
  • Applicants without experience but with good learning ability and demonstrated experience in precision machine design (e.g. from graduate-level research, internships, coursework, etc.) are welcome to apply.

Other Information

Skillset(s) Requirement:

  • Understanding of precision machine design principles (stiffness, kinematics, dynamics, exact constraint principles, resonance frequency, vibration control, etc.)
  • Knowledge in lightweight structure design, flexure design, etc
  • Familiarity with precision motion system components (linear bearings, optical encoders, linear motors, etc.)
  • Familiarity with precision measurement equipment (laser interferometers, autocollimators, LVDT, etc.)- Error budgeting- 3D CAD (Solidworks)
  • FEA (ANSYS Mechanical, Static Structural, Modal, Harmonic Response, Transient, Thermal, etc.)
  • BOM management
  • Prepare and conduct design reviews at project milestones (PDR, CDR, POD, ATP)
  • Strong project management and coordination capability

Attributes:

  • Strong sense of accountability to drive the assigned project towards success
  • Ability to mentor and guide junior engineers
  • Ability to coordinate and focus efforts from a multi-disciplinary project team towards a common goal
  • Good hands-on skill and willingness to assemble, test, and debug prototype stages
  • Openness to collaborate with teammates from different engineering disciplines (controls, electrical engineering, etc.) to come up with designs that are optimal from a multidisciplinary perspective
  • Flexibility to adapt rapidly to shifting commercial and technical needs
