Motion Control Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Carry out development work in the area of Mechatronic motion-control systems （primarily in applications of precision motion systems using direct drive motors）
• Design, simulate and tune commercial motion controllers to achieve optimal motion profile- Perform testing and fine-tuning on existing multi-axis stages and/or a prototype motion system.
• Collaborate closely with Mechanical and Electrical engineers to adopt a holistic Mechatronics Control Design methodology.
• Size and select electrical components, drivers, controllers and power supply based on application requirements.
• 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

• Candidate must possess at least a Degree in either Mechatronics, Electrical/Electronics, Mechanical or any other engineering.
• Fresh graduates with relevant knowledge in their course of study are welcome to apply.
• Candidates who excelled and hold strong interest in courses/modules such as Principles of Mechatronics and Automation, Controls and Simulation, Control Systems or similar, are likely to be good fits for the role.
• Preferably 1 ~ 2 year(s) of working experience in an industry that has dealt with direct drive motors or in the same industry as stage design as a whole

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
