Company

hirify.global develops photolithography systems and equipment for semiconductor manufacturing.

What you will do

• Design and develop custom mechatronics systems, including translating stages, rotary motion, multi-link positioners, sensors, servos, and actuators.
• Lead technically complex module development while considering industrialization, system integration, cost, schedule, and cross-team impacts.
• Support concept feasibility, future equipment experiments, new product introduction, sustaining engineering, and customer-site design issue resolution.
• Collaborate with internal multidisciplinary teams, external suppliers, and other engineering disciplines to define and develop product designs.
• Develop and execute product verification and validation strategies, test complex mechatronic systems, and build product-specific test tooling.
• Perform root-cause analysis, troubleshoot from system to component level, manage requirements and interfaces, and document specifications, design decisions, procedures, and test reports.

Requirements

• BS or BE degree in a relevant technical field.
• At least 4 years of relevant work experience.
• Mechatronics engineering background or specialization in a closely related field such as robotics.
• Direct experience designing and testing mechatronic and control systems.
• Experience with PID controllers, linear and nonlinear calibration, and flexible dynamics.
• Basic experience with predictive mechatronics behavior modeling using MATLAB, Simulink, or similar tools, including first-principles engineering equations and control-system simulation and implementation.
• Ability to apply classical and digital control theory, including frequency-domain analysis, stability, Nyquist and Bode plots, velocity-acceleration-jerk, feedback and feedforward, dynamics, gain and phase, transfer functions, continuous and discrete feedback control, and real-time controls.
• Ability to derive conclusions from analyses and make practical recommendations; strong technical writing and communication skills in English, including presenting statistically supported results to audiences with different technical backgrounds.
• Ability to manage requirements with traceability, define specifications and interfaces, coordinate integration, execute verification and validation, manage risks and dependencies, and deliver work to quality and schedule expectations.
• Ability to follow EHS policies, identify and mitigate safety risks, and work with potential exposure to strong magnetic fields, high voltage, and high currents.

Nice to have

• MS or PhD in a relevant technical field.
• Exposure to multidisciplinary projects involving imaging or optical systems, semiconductors, or lithography.

Culture & Benefits
