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)
