Job Description

Position Summary:

The Electrical Engineer will design and integrate high-precision control electronics for motion, force, and thermal subsystems within the Thermocompression Bonder. The role requires deep experience in sensor signal conditioning, low-noise circuit design, and real-time feedback systems capable of sub-micron and sub-Newton accuracy.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and integrate servo drives, force sensors, and displacement measurement systems. Develop and tune PID/Feedforward control loops for micro-force (<1 N) and micro-Z height (<1 m) control. Select, interface, and calibrate load cells, LVDTs, capacitance probes, and optical encoders. Integrate high-ramp heating modules with precise thermocouple feedback and PID tuning. Implement collimator and tilt sensing circuits for angular alignment compensation. Work with software engineers to develop high-bandwidth sensor-to-controller data paths. Ensure EMI/ESD compliance, grounding integrity, and system signal stability. Conduct electrical debugging, reliability validation, and sensor calibration at system level.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or Instrumentation Engineering. 5+ years of experience in precision control electronics, motion control, or test instrumentation. Knowledge of EtherCAT, CANopen, and analog I/O systems. Familiarity with signal conditioning for microvolt/millinewton-level measurements. Hands-on experience with temperature control circuits using RTD or thermocouple sensors.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with Beckhoff I/O modules, ACS SPiiPlus, Galil DMC, or Delta Tau PMAC. Background in bonding or precision assembly systems. * Familiarity with Simulink Real-Time or LabVIEW FPGA for high-speed control prototyping.
