As a Precision Controls Engineer, you will join a collaborative team to develop, deploy, and support advanced, production-ready control solutions for ultra-precision manufacturing systems where performance is measured in nanometers. You will apply engineering rigor to identify and mitigate sources of positioning error while managing requirements, providing cost and schedule estimates, and utilizing project management practices to deliver capital equipment projects. The role requires expertise in precision engineering concepts like error budgeting, metrology, and compensation, alongside experience with linear motors, high-resolution encoders, and ultra-low friction bearing systems. You will work with motion control systems such as DeltaTau or Aerotech, utilize electrical drawing software like ePlan or AutoCAD Electrical, and develop embedded software using C/C++, .NET C#, Structured Text, TwinCAT, or Labview to solve complex manufacturing challenges in high-precision environments.
