Bringing together the right talent, tools, and ideas, we work with our client to co-create lasting change. Together, with over 30,000 employees in 30+ countries, we build for boundless impact-touching billions of lives in the process. Visit us at .\nSummary:\nUST is looking for core Motion Control Engineer \nJob Description:\nAbout the Role\nWe are seeking a Motion Control Engineer to own the design, configuration, and optimization of multi-axis motion systems built on ACS Motion Control platforms. You will select the right motor, encoder, drive, and controller architecture for each application, then bring those systems to life - wiring, commissioning, programming, and tuning them to meet demanding accuracy, throughput, and reliability targets.\nThis role sits at the intersection of electrical design and controls software. You should be equally comfortable reading a schematic, pulling a scope trace on a servo loop, and writing ACSPL+ code.\nWhat You'll Do\nMotion system architecture and selection\nSize and select servo/stepper motors, linear and rotary, based on load, duty cycle, inertia ratio, and thermal budgetSpecify feedback devices - incremental and absolute encoders, resolvers, linear scales - matching resolution, interface (EnDat, BiSS, Sin/Cos, A/B), and accuracy to the applicationDefine the controller and drive architecture: ACS controller family, EtherCAT network topology, drive sizing, power supply and regen requirements\nPerform trade studies on cost, performance, and lead time; produce bills of material and vendor comparisons\nConfiguration, programming, and tuning\nConfigure ACS controllers and drives using MotionBoot, SPiiPlus MMI Application Studio, and related toolchains\nDevelop motion applications in ACSPL+ - multi-axis coordinated motion, gantry and master/slave configurations, gearing, camming, PVT and spline trajectories, registration and triggered motion\nTune servo loops - current, velocity, and position - using frequency response analysis, notch and low-pass filters, feedforward terms, and disturbance rejection techniques\nCharacterize and correct settling time, following error, resonance, backlash, and cogging; validate against spec with data\nImplement safety and fault handling: limits, E-stop chains, STO, homing strategies, error recoveryElectrical integration\nProduce and review motion control schematics, panel layouts, cable and harness drawings, and I/O mapsDebug wiring, grounding, shielding, and EMI issues on the bench and on the machine floorSupport panel build, wiring checkout, and power-on of new systemsPLC and machine integration\nProgram and integrate PLCs (Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000, Beckhoff TwinCAT, or equivalent) that supervise or coordinate with the motion controllerImplement fieldbus communication - EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP - between PLC, motion controller, HMI, and upper-level softwareWork with mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineering through design reviews, integration, and production rampDocument designs, tuning parameters, and commissioning procedures; support transfer to manufacturing and field serviceWhat You'll Bring\nRequired\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline7-8 years of hands-on experience in industrial motion control and automationDemonstrated experience with ACS Motion Control hardware and software - SPiiPlus controllers/drives, ACSPL+ programming, MMI Application StudioStrong working knowledge of servo control theory: control loop structure, gain tuning, frequency response, stability margins, feedforwardProven ability to size and select motors, drives, and feedback devices from first principles rather than by catalog matching\nSolid electrical fundamentals: ability to create and interpret schematics and wiring diagrams, and to troubleshoot with a multimeter, oscilloscope, and controller trace tools\nPLC programming experience in at least one major platform, including ladder and structured text\nFamiliarity with industrial networks, especially EtherCAT, and with machine safety concepts and standards\nComfortable working hands-on in a lab or machine floor environment, including bring-up and debug of prototype hardware\nPreferred\nExperience with multi-axis gantry systems, dual-loop feedback, or direct-drive linear and torque motors\nExperience with other motion platforms (Beckhoff, Aerotech, Delta Tau/Power PMAC, Siemens, Rockwell) for comparison and migration workKnowledge of vibration analysis, mechanical resonance, and structural dynamics as they affect closed-loop performanceExposure to machine vision or sensor-triggered motionExperience supporting equipment through design-to-production transitionWhat we believe:\nWe’re proud to embrace the same values that have shaped UST since the beginning. Since day one, we’ve been building enduring relationships and a culture of integrity. And today, it's those same values that are inspiring us to encourage innovation from everyone, to champion diversity and inclusion and to place people at the centre of everything we do.\nHumility:\nWe will listen, learn, be empathetic and help selflessly in our interactions with everyone.\nHumanity:\nThrough business, we will better the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves.\nIntegrity:\nWe honour our commitments and act with responsibility in all our relationships.\nEqual Employment Opportunity Statement\nUST is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
