Own and drive control architectures and control strategy for ultrahigh-performance semiconductor inspection and metrology motion platforms. You will work across actuator design, mechanics, software, and optics to integrate, validate, and prepare systems for production.

  • Define and drive control architectures for next-generation semiconductor inspection and metrology systems
  • Own control strategy decisions from early concept through integration, validation, and production
  • Influence system architecture alongside senior engineers across actuator design, mechanics, software, and optics
  • Integrate and validate control strategies on real hardware and custom actuators
  • Work on performance limits where theory meets physics

The role focuses on real hardware control architecture definition, system integration, and validation for custom actuators and high-performance motion platforms used in semiconductor inspection and metrology. It requires technical leadership spanning control strategy, mechanics, and optics to reach performance limits.

The ideal candidate is a senior control systems engineer with deep experience owning control architectures and control strategy for high-performance motion systems. They have hands-on experience integrating and validating real hardware involving custom actuators, mechanics, and optics for semiconductor inspection and metrology applications.
