• Release official BOMs and manufacturing drawings for costing, procurement, and production purposes.


• Assess machining tolerances, material selection, and assembly requirements to ensure product performance and manufacturability.


• Provide engineering support to Production, Manufacturing, and New Product Introduction (NPI) teams for new and existing mechanical systems.

Testing & Technical Support

• Support system testing, evaluation, and troubleshooting of precision motion stages, actuator modules, and assembly-level components.


• Assist in integrating motors, encoders, servo drives, actuators, and sensors into precision motion system assemblies.


• Support commissioning and functional verification of assembled motion systems prior to release.


• Work closely with Sales, Engineering, Production, and Customers to resolve technical issues and support product improvement.


• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance product quality, reliability, and engineering efficiency.


• Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned by the supervisor.

Job Requirement

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.


• 2 to 3 years of experience in precision mechanical design;


• Hands-on experience in mechanical design using SolidWorks


• Exposure to product design involving precision motion systems, stages, or actuators is an advantage.


• Working knowledge of precision stage, gantry, actuator, and motion system design fundamentals.


• Proficient in 3D CAD modelling, detailed engineering drawings, and BOM management.


• Good understanding of precision machining, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and assembly techniques.


• Basic familiarity with motion control components such as servo drives, encoders, and actuators is an advantage.


• Willingness to learn system testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting of precision motion equipment.


• Self-motivated, responsible, and eager to learn, with the ability to work under guidance and grow toward greater independence.


• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.


• Able to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines.


• Effective communication and teamwork skills.


• Professional, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
