Controls Engineer

Brooks is seeking qualified candidates to work with a team of talented controls engineers to develop industry leading, high performance robot control platforms for the semiconductor industry.  The work is both technically challenging and hands-on with new, cutting-edge robot arm designs and state of the art control software and electronics that push the envelope in semiconductor wafer handling.

What You Will Do:

• Apply digital filtering and control theory to design motion control algorithms and tune the feedback parameters on the robot hardware, characterize the dynamic performance, stability, throughput, payload vibration, design verification testing, software configuration, and documentation/release. 

• Participate in diverse opportunities to apply the latest principals of robotics and control theory to push the boundaries of performance with tools such as MATLAB.

What You Will Bring:

• BSEE or BSME with 2-4 years’ experience or MSEE, MSME or Ph.D. with 0-2 years’ experience

• We are looking for an enthusiastic, hands-on engineer with a broad capability in electromechanical systems who possesses

• Knowledge of control theory, dynamic systems, robotics theory, vibration analysis, backend software development including but not limited to related coursework, experience or research in controls, dynamic systems, or robotics

• The ability to learn complex systems quickly and create independently

• Good troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

• Competency in MATLAB (controls toolboxes a plus, object–oriented and Java integration preferred

• Excellent technical communication and presentation skills

• Skilled in C/C++14 programming especially for real-time systems

• Prior experience with multithreaded and interrupt driven programming preferred.

• Handy in the use of dynamic signal analyzers and general lab equipment

• Interest in traveling abroad to visit and integrate robots at customer sites
