Job’s mission

As a Senior Systems Engineer (Mechatronics and Robotics) at ASM, you’ll design and implement advanced robotic and electromechanical systems that power next-generation semiconductor manufacturing. Your expertise in control systems, machine vision, and servo integration will help us deliver precision and reliability at scale. Join us to push boundaries in automation and enable technologies that shape the future of electronics.

What you will be working on

• Design and develop electromechanical systems integrating robotics with advanced control architectures.
• Implement visual-aided closed-loop control systems with real-time motion adjustment.
• Apply image processing algorithms using OpenCV, MATLAB, or similar libraries to guide robotic motion.
• Develop and tune servo control systems for precision and stability.
• Program and deploy control software for robotic platforms and embedded controllers (C/C++, Python, ROS).
• Develop, debug, and maintain PLC programs using Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or Beckhoff platforms.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software teams for seamless integration.
• Participate in prototyping, testing, validation, and field deployment.
• Document system architecture, design decisions, and performance metrics.
• Provide technical support for troubleshooting and maintenance.

What we are looking for

• BS in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field with 12+ years of experience; MS with 8+ years; PhD with 4+ years.
• Proven expertise in control systems, including PID tuning, kinematics, and dynamic modeling.
• Hands-on experience with machine vision and image processing.
• Strong background in servo drive configuration and motor control.
• Proficiency in control software development for embedded and real-time systems.
• Experience with PLC programming and industrial communication protocols.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently or in teams.
• Strong communication skills for documentation and collaboration.

What sets you apart

• Familiarity with robotic frameworks such as ROS and tools like MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, or TwinCAT.
• Knowledge of low-level communication interfaces (CAN bus, I2C, SPI, UART).
• Basic mechanical design principles and CAD tools.
• Experience with sensor integration (cameras, LIDAR, proximity sensors) and real-time data processing.
• Skills in actuator control and trajectory planning.
• Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and automation requirements.
• Experience with industrial robots or willingness to learn these applications.

Apply today to be part of what’s next.

We make the tech that enables the chips in devices which improve lives around the world.
