R&D Engineer (Montion Control)

Job Description & Requirements

1. Carry out development work in the area of Mechatronic motion-control systems (primarily in applications of ultra-precision motion systems using direct drive motors)
2. Design, simulate and tune commercial motion controllers to achieve optimal motion profile.
3. Perform testing and fine-tuning on existing multi-axis stages and/or a prototype motion systems.
4. Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineers and Application teams to adopted a holistic Mechatronics Control Design methodology.
5. Size, source, select and procure suitable electrical components, drivers, controllers and power supply based on application requirements.
6. Work with other local and overseas teams (such as Sales, Applications, Manufacturing) within the organisation to support the entire product lifecycle (i.e. from conceptualisation to commercialisation).

Requirements:

1. Preferably with 1-2 Year(s) of working experience in relevant engineering industry.
2. Applicants without experience but with good learning ability are welcome to apply.

Skillset(s) Requirement:

• Understand basic PID Control and able to apply fundamental knowledge on simple motion control systems.

• Have relevant training in the subject of Control, Linear Systems, Dynamic Systems or similar, with at least undergraduate level.

• Able to use Matlab (or other Mathematical tools) to formulate and simulate basic control model

• Basic knowledge and practical experience with sensors, controller/PLC/drivers and power supply.

• Valuable added-advantage of skills & knowledge are:

• Hands-on experience with commercial controllers, i.e. able to set up a controller, drivers, motor(s) and encoder(s); and perform tuning to achieve desired motion performance.

• Strong control system analysis skill in both time and frequency domain

• Good fundamental understanding of mechatronic motion systems

Attributes:

• High willingness to learn and commitment to developing as proficient practicing engineer.
• Strong and clear communicator.
• Conscientious worker with ability to perform under dynamic high-stress situations
• Basic time management skills to handle assigned tasks independently with limited supervision
• Meticulous attention to quality, detail and reliability.
