Jobs at Brooks Automation

Develops high-performance robot control platforms for semiconductor manufacturing. Responsibilities include designing motion-control algorithms, applying digital filtering and control theory, tuning robot feedback parameters, analyzing dynamics and vibration, conducting design verification testing, configuring and releasing software, troubleshooting systems, and documenting results. The role involves hands-on integration with robot hardware, control software, electronics, laboratory equipment, and customer-site robot deployments.

Develop and tune motion-control algorithms for semiconductor robots using control theory, digital filtering, and feedback systems. Characterize robot dynamics, stability, throughput, payload vibration, and performance; conduct design verification testing; configure and release software; and document results. The role involves hands-on integration with robot hardware, troubleshooting, laboratory analysis, and collaboration on advanced robotics and control platforms. Travel abroad to customer sites may be required for robot integration.

Leads mechanical design and development of precision vacuum robots and electromechanical automation systems. Responsibilities include product design, FEA, tolerance analysis, technical leadership, prototype and production support, DFX implementation, customer and supplier collaboration, sustaining engineering, root-cause investigations, and reliability improvements. The role requires cross-functional collaboration across software, controls, electrical, systems, manufacturing, and supplier teams while mentoring engineers and supporting product roadmaps.

Leads mechanical design and development of precision vacuum robots, electromechanical systems, motion platforms, and material-handling mechanisms. Performs FEA, CFD, tolerance analysis, and design validation while guiding product development from concept through production. Provides technical leadership, mentors engineers, supports manufacturing transfer, resolves field issues, collaborates with suppliers and customers, and drives reliability, quality, cost, and product improvement initiatives.

Develop embedded software for semiconductor robotics automation, including robot motion control, subsystem interfaces, diagnostics, hardware abstraction, and real-time systems. Collaborate with engineering, product management, customers, manufacturing, and field service teams. Define requirements, participate in design reviews, perform automated testing, improve DevOps processes, support robotic hardware integration, and troubleshoot field issues.

Develop real-time embedded software and distributed control architectures for precision 6DOF levitation platforms. Implement DC commutation, high-bandwidth feedback control, sensor fusion, deterministic execution, and low-latency communications. Integrate software with power electronics, sensors, FPGAs, and MCUs; lead system bring-up, tuning, validation, and performance optimization. Collaborate across engineering teams and contribute to control-system innovation, intellectual property, and next-generation motion platforms.

Design and validate advanced electromagnetic actuation systems for semiconductor precision motion applications. Responsibilities include electromagnetic architecture, finite element and multiphysics simulation, coil and thermal analysis, force modeling, motion-control support, laboratory testing, prototype development, data analysis, and technical documentation. The engineer collaborates with electrical, mechanical, controls, manufacturing, and reliability teams to improve performance, efficiency, precision, reliability, and manufacturability.
