Senior Mechatronics Engineer Controls & Electronics Manufacturing

Job Description

Senior Mechatronics Engineer Controls & Electronics

Sydney Full time Hybrid $110k to $150k super meaningful equity
Relocation and visa support available for the right person

The Mission

What happens when semiconductor tooling needs to get smarter faster and more repeatable

You build the controls layer properly.

This role sits across electronics controls automation software and the physical machine. Not pure software. Not generic industrial controls. Real equipment real sensors real actuators real commissioning pain.

Youll help build advanced manufacturing tools for next-generation semiconductor packaging where precision uptime and integration matter from day one.

What Youll Work On

Design and implement control systems for advanced manufacturing equipment
Specify sensors actuators motors drives controllers and electrical components
Develop embedded software firmware and PLC programs for machine automation
Work across motion control servo drives actuators and machine-level electronics
Create electrical schematics wiring diagrams and control panel layouts
Commission test and debug complex electromechanical systems
Troubleshoot hardware software and integration issues across the full machine
Develop machine safety systems and support relevant safety standards
Help establish controls electronics and automation standards for a scaling team
Work closely with mechanical software and systems engineers to deliver integrated tools

What Matters Here

7 years in mechatronics controls engineering automation or similar
Strong PLC programming and motion control experience
Embedded C/C or Python experience
Familiarity with protocols like EtherCAT Modbus or OPC-UA
Electrical design experience across schematics panels and wiring diagrams
Solid mechanical fluency enough to integrate across the actual machine
Experience commissioning complex electromechanical equipment
Semiconductor equipment precision manufacturing robotics or industrial automation experience
Startup appetite without startup chaos tolerance being mistaken for lack of standards

Nice to Have

MATLAB or Simulink
ISO 13849 or IEC 62443 exposure
Semiconductor tooling or fab equipment experience
Experience building automation standards from scratch

Why This Role Is Different

This is not controls work in a plant that already knows what it is.

This is controls work where the machine the process and the company are all scaling together.

Youll be close to the hardware close to the product and close to the decisions that shape how the tooling platform grows.
