FPD Exposure Equipment Control, Electrical and Embedded Software Engineer

This role is assigned to the Stage unit of an FPD exposure system. The work combines controller design and simulation, electrical and electronic circuit development, software development, and verification to achieve precise positioning that meets equipment specifications.

Responsibilities include designing electrical and electronic circuits for new and existing products, including responses to discontinued components and FPGA development. The engineer designs sequence operations for independent and synchronized unit movement, develops software, and discusses specifications with software engineers responsible for higher-level systems. The role also includes hardware and software verification using internal evaluation equipment, support for launching new products at customer sites, and troubleshooting support for existing products.

The department develops mechanical and electrical hardware and control software for large equipment requiring high-speed, precise control. The assigned team works on motor-control design, hardware development, signal-processing circuit design including FPGA development, sequence design, and software development. The Stage unit is part of the FPD equipment development organization.

Applicants must have practical experience or specialized knowledge related to motion control and must have either practical experience in electrical and electronic circuit design or practical experience developing embedded software using C or C++. Preferred experience includes control design using Matlab/Simulink; designing, implementing, and evaluating feedforward and feedback control algorithms; circuit design including FPGA or FPGA software development; and design experience with semiconductor equipment or industrial machinery.

The position involves working with multiple members for each assigned unit and collaborating with optical, mechanical, and software specialists. The team provides initial basic education, followed by one year of on-the-job practical training. Work is available remotely, with attendance at the workplace required in principle at least three days per week. Flextime is available. Working hours are eight actual hours, with a 45-minute break, and the probationary period is three months. The annual holiday allowance is 128 days, with a five-day workweek.
