• 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.
