About Syenta

Syenta is rewriting semiconductor manufacturing with Localised Electrochemical Manufacturing (LEM). We need a hands-on mechatronics expert to turn first-principles designs into fab-ready hardware that hits nanometer repeatability.

The Role

• Architect precision motion & control subsystems – multi-axis, ultraprecision ≪1 µm, high speed, high force, extreme process reliability.
• Own embedded-electronics & firmware lifecycle – mixed-signal PCBs, C/C++ in RTOS, and device networking (e.g. CANopen, EtherCAT).
• Build vision-guided alignment loops – Specify cameras, illumination and sub-pixel fiducial algorithms; integration with software & hardware.
• Commission, tune & verify systems – Create HIL/bench rigs and statistical test plans that prove repeatability and reliability.
• Integrate across disciplines & programmes – Translate precision, yield, uptime and serviceability goals into control-system choices.
• Own the full electromechanical hardware lifecycle – Drive design, vendor selection, procurement, fabrication/assembly, V&V.
• Safety & compliance – Ensure designs meet relevant SEMI / IEC / WHS standards; maintain full design history and risk analyses.
  
  

About You

• Experience: ≥ 8 years in mechatronics, mechanical design, or related engineering fields. Startup, semicon or advanced R&D experience is a plus.
• Mindset: You “get stuff done”, iterate quickly and don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
• Cross-Disciplinary Mindset – solid understanding of mechanical, electrical, software and optical systems.
  
  

Bonus Points

• Submicron motion control – air bearings, peizos, vibration damping, multi axis control.
• Vision & metrology: sub-pixel fiducial-alignment, sub-micron metrology
• Lithography, Die- & wafer-bonding Experience
• Active thermal control solutions holding ± 0.01 °C.
• Safety, compliance & quality oversight: Fluency with SEMI S-series (S1/S2/S8)
