Senior R&D Electrical, Electronic Hardware Design Engineer

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

1.

System & Sub-system Design

-

Develop and design electrical circuit, panel layout, power contribution unit (PDU) 1-phase/3-phase system, including EMC/EMI filtering and safety interlock circuits for semiconductor R&D equipment.

-

Integrate motion control hardware (servo/linear drives, encoders, actuators) for high precision and accuracy on overall machine system design.

-

Knowledge in motion control system is preferable.

-

Prepare BOM, electrical schematic layout drawings, test procedure, installation manual and other design documents for design traceability.

-

Hardware component selection based on thorough understanding of product functionality, application and customer specification.

2.

Compliance & Reliability

-

Ensure system designs meet SEMI S2/S8/F47/E10 and familiar with CE, UL, IEC standards are highly desirable.

-

Execute FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis) on high-power circuits to suit for cleanroom environment operation.

-

Lead for CE/TUV certification and ensure equipment design compliance with industrial SEMI standard.

3.

R&D & Troubleshooting

-

Support troubleshooting and debugging for any HW and motion-related issue on equipment.

-

Experienced to utilise oscilloscopes VNAs, spectrum analysers and other tools to resolve any technical problem.

-

Stay abreast of industry trend and technology advancements to ensure our product remains at competitive edge.

-

Will travel occasionally to support customer on-site commissioning for first equipment for FAT/SAT completion.

4.

Cross-functional Collaboration

-

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (MECH, SW, PROCESS) throughout engineering design process for installation, wiring, motion tuning and troubleshooting.

-

Support and lead assemblyman in transitioning cable harness drawings and panel layouts.

TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIRED:
