Senior R&D Electrical, Electronic Hardware Design Engineer, Singapore

Senior R&D Electrical, Electronic Hardware Design Engineer KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 1. System & Sub-system Design - Develop and design electrical circuit, panel layout, power contribution unit (PDU) 1-phase/3-phase system, including EMC/EMI filtering and safety interlock circuits for semiconductor R&D equipment. - Integrate motion control hardware (servo/linear drives, encoders, actuators) for high precision and accuracy on overall machine system design. - Knowledge in motion control system is preferable. - Prepare BOM, electrical schematic layout drawings, test procedure, installation manual and other design documents for design traceability. - Hardware component selection based on thorough understanding of product functionality, application and customer specification. 2. Compliance & Reliability - Ensure system designs meet SEMI S2/S8/F47/E10 and familiar with CE, UL, IEC standards are highly desirable. - Execute FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis) on high-power circuits to suit for cleanroom environment operation. - Lead for CE/TUV certification and ensure equipment design compliance with industrial SEMI standard. 3. R&D & Troubleshooting - Support troubleshooting and debugging for any HW and motion-related issue on equipment. - Experienced to utilise oscilloscopes VNAs, spectrum analysers and other tools to resolve any technical problem. - Stay abreast of industry trend and technology advancements to ensure our product remains at competitive edge. - Will travel occasionally to support customer on-site commissioning for first equipment for FAT/SAT completion. 4. Cross-functional Collaboration - Collaborate with cross-functional teams (MECH, SW, PROCESS) throughout engineering design process for installation, wiring, motion tuning and troubleshooting. - Support and lead assemblyman in transitioning cable harness drawings and panel layouts. TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIRED: - Deep understanding of Industrial Controls Application (PLCs, safety relays, 24V logic, 480VAC). - Proficiency in high temp/high power PCB schematic design and PCB layout (plus). - Experience with Vacuum Systems (valve control, turbo pump interfacing). - Familiarity with comm protocols: EtherCAT/TwinCAT, SECS/GEM, etc. (plus). - Working knowledge of Thermal Management (PID control of heaters/cooling application) - preferable. - Experienced to work under cleanroom environment. - Ability to read complex electrical schematics and I/O diagrams. - Systematic root-cause analysis methodology (8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys).
