- Experience with Motion control simulation
- Design optical mounts, sub-micron precision adjustment mechanisms, and positioning systems.
- Ability to architect mechatronic systems, select motors, sensors, drive components, etc. based on satisfying system requirements.
- Strong control-theory foundation (feedback design, filtering, system dynamics)
- Solve real-world precision issues (vibration, resonance, etc.)
- 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 their design decisions
- Finalize the design through product release for current and future metrology instruments.
- Demonstrated ability to create clear reports and documentation.
- Demonstrated technical depth in concept design of complex mechanical systems.
- Working with Mechanical, Electrical, and Software teams, as well as Operations and Manufacturing.
Qualifications- 7+ years' experience working as a Controls, Mechanical, or Mechatronic Engineer.
- Controls knowledge. (linear system control etc)
- Masters degree or higher in science or engineering preferred.
- 5+ years' experience in a leadership role preferred.
- Proficient in motion control, including servo tuning, stage control, and automation mapping.
- Deep understanding of vibration analysis, modal analysis, and VC (Vibration Criteria) standards.
- Experience with isolation systems and designing for micron- and nanometer-level accuracy.
- Familiarity with system architecture, design requirements, and technical specifications for high-performance systems.
- Experience implementing motion control systems.
- Experience with microcontrollers, Arduino, Pi Proficient with accelerometers and spectrum analyzer to quantify and diagnose a vibration.
- Skilled with contact and non-contact measurement types, indicators, cap gages, interferometer, to measure mechanical errors and drifts.
