Full Job Description
Job Description

The Senior Electrical Engineer will be responsible for the electrical design and development of high-speed, high-precision semiconductor assembly equipment, specifically Die Bonders. This role requires close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams-including process, mechanical, software, and systems engineering-to define subsystem specifications, design electronic circuits and interconnections, and perform debugging at both module and system levels. The position will also involve system integration of designs developed internally as well as by external vendors.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, integrate, and debug electrical systems for industrial semiconductor equipment.
  • Work with power, analog, and digital circuitry, including systems utilizing brushless servo motors, stepper motors, and DC motors.
  • Design and implement analog circuits incorporating A/D and D/A converters, signal gain and filtering stages, sensor and encoder feedback, and power amplification.
  • Develop and debug industrial control systems using motor controllers, I/O controllers, solenoids, switches, and sensors.
  • Integrate systems using standard communication protocols such as Ethernet, EtherCAT, IB2C, and USB.
  • Create and maintain wiring diagrams and electrical interconnections aligned with existing system architectures; modify or develop new architectures to meet evolving design requirements.
  • Design cabling and interconnection solutions between electronic modules, including connector selection and cable gauge definition.
  • Collaborate effectively with external vendors and contractors on outsourced design and integration activities.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to resolve complex technical challenges.
  • Develop technically sound and cost-effective electrical design solutions.


Qualifications

Required Skills and Experience
  • Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in power, analog, and digital circuit design.
  • Strong understanding of motor control systems, including servo, stepper, and DC motors.
  • Proven experience in industrial control system design and system-level debugging.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a multidisciplinary engineering environment.
  • Experience designing cost-effective, manufacturable solutions.

Preferred Tools and Technologies

Experience with the following tools or equivalent systems is highly desirable:
  • Altium Designer (schematic capture and PCB layout)
  • Zuken E3 (cables)
  • MS Visio (Wiring Diagrams)
  • Teamcenter or any Product Data Management (PDM) system

Education Requirements
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 5 years of relevant industry experience
    OR
  • Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience
