The candidate should possess expertise in electromechanical design, machine vision and manufacturing systems to ensure scalable throughput, precision inspection and safe material handling in a semiconductor production environment.\nThis is a high-impact, high-ownership role where you’ll work across robotics, machine vision, fixturing and factory systems to bring production-worthy automation online quickly. You’ll operate in an environment with evolving requirements, dynamic timelines, and the opportunity to shape the manufacturing platform from first principles.\nThe role will work cross-functionally with process engineering, facilities engineering, controls and software teams to deliver robust, scalable automation solutions that improve yield, capacity, and operational efficiency.\nThis is a hands-on role at our Saanichton production facility with the majority of working time onsite. Working conditions include use of PPE in a production facility, lifting and standing for extended periods of time. \nKey responsibilities include:\nCollaborate with the automation team to establish high-level system requirements for automated inline inspection & CZT sensor handling systems.\nCollaborate with process engineers to understand current process limitations, define inspection criteria, handling requirements and workflows.\nDevelop or work with external systems integrators for precision semiconductor sensor handling and machine vision applications (e.g., wafer stages, sensor pick-and-place, robotic handling, inline defect detection).\nLead the selection and evaluation & of machine vision systems (2D/3D cameras, lighting, optics). This can include in-house designed systems for production or evaluation.\nLead activities for the selection & evaluation of wafer and sensor end effectors used for automated Pick & Place applications.\nTake ownership of Redlen’s 6-axis robotic test bench to design & execute internal demonstrations for CZT handling, machine vision inspection & other proof-of-concept demonstrations.\nCo-develop Design-of-Experiments to prove out and de-risk automation hardware and workflows to assess impacts on process yield & throughput.\nExecution of electromechanical designs for automation projects utilizing SolidWorks and other design tools.\nCo-lead system integration with the automation team controls engineer including FAT/SAT and bring-up of inspection and CZT handling tools – internally or externally developed.\nComplete documentation packages to support design activities & commissioning.\nCollaborate broadly with other Redlen teams of mechanical, electrical and process engineers.\nWhat makes this role different:\nYou will design systems that don’t exist yet\nYou will wear multiple hats: mechatronics engineer, system integrator, robot owner and problem solver\nYou will have direct impact on production ramp and company success\nYou will work in high ambiguity environment with evolving specs—not fully defined processes\nExperience Required:\n5–8+ years of experience in manufacturing automation engineering in a high-tech / electromechanical assembly, manufacturing or semiconductor environment.\nDemonstratable experience across a range of mechatronics specialties – mechanical design, DFM, optics, motion control, electrical design.\nFamiliarity or exposure with machine vision / optical systems (e.g., Cognex, Keyence, Halcon, OpenCV).\nHands-on experience with system commissioning, debugging, and troubleshooting.\nExtensive demonstrated experience in mechanical design concepts, mechatronics & CAD Tools (Solidworks, AutoCAD)\nExposure to robotic systems & programming is considered a plus (FANUC, Kuka, UR).\n Skills/Additional Requirements:\nStrong attention to detail & quality.\nSupport & drive cross-functional collaboration in the projects\nHands – On approach to problem solving, getting your hands dirty on the MFG floor regularly.\nExhibit a bias toward action balanced by strong analytical decision-making skills. \n Education/Training:\nBachelor’s degree in mechatronics, systems engineering or an equivalent combination of education & work experience.\n\nSalary Range: $90,000 -
