Mechatronics Engineer

Full-Time – Sydney AU

Salary Range – AUD $130k - $155k (Negotiable, ESOP available)

About Syenta

Syenta is pioneering a new era in semiconductor manufacturing with our groundbreaking Localised Electrochemical Manufacturing (LEM) technology. Our manufacturing products build cutting edge advanced packaging for the semiconductor industry by combining patterning and metallization into a single tool. We do that by achieving high-speed, high-resolution metallization at significantly lower costs and energy use, while minimizing emissions and waste.

Join an innovative Australian startup poised to revolutionize Advanced Packaging in the semiconductor industry!

About The Role (Day To Day)

• 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 Capability: Solid understanding of mechanical, electrical, software and optical systems.
  
  

Bonus Points

• Submicron motion control – air bearings, piezos, 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)
