Mechanical Design Engineer – Motion Systems

About the role

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer specialized in motion systems to develop high‑precision motion control solutions for semiconductor R&D equipment. The role involves designing, modelling, testing and documenting electromechanical subsystems to meet stringent performance and reliability standards.

Key responsibilities

• Design and optimise motion control mechanisms ensuring superior accuracy, repeatability and low backlash.
• Perform tolerance stack‑up analysis and apply GD&T to achieve precise mechanical alignment.
• Select electromechanical components based on product requirements and customer specifications.
• Model kinematic and dynamic behaviour using MATLAB, Simulink and Adams, and validate designs with FEA.
• Prototype, conduct motion profiling, and execute performance testing including repeatability, backlash and hysteresis.
• Prepare BOMs, schematics, test procedures and installation manuals, and collaborate with cross‑functional teams for assembly, wiring, tuning and troubleshooting.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Electronic Engineering or related field.
• Minimum 5 years of electromechanical and motion‑control design experience in semiconductor equipment.
• Proven ability to work across cross‑functional teams to achieve project goals.

Required skills

• MATLAB, Simulink, Adams
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Minitab, EPLAN, CREO, AutoCAD
• GD&T and tolerance stack‑up analysis
• Real‑time motion controllers
• Rapid prototyping (3D printing)
• Knowledge of SEMI S2/S8, CE, UL, IEC standards
• Flow simulation (advantageous)
