Role Summary

Applied Materials is establishing the Service Technologies Lab (STL) in Singapore to develop prototype and mature robotic and cobotenabled service solutions for future service operations.

The Robotics Engineer (NCG) is an entrylevel engineering role intended for highpotential graduates with practical robotics exposure. The role supports senior robotics systems engineers and technicians through handson development integration testing and documentation of real robotic systems.

This position is ideal for candidates with strong academic foundations meaningful project or internship experience and a clear motivation to grow into a disciplined wellrounded robotics engineer working at the intersection of software hardware and systems integration.

Role Intent

This role is designed to:

• Enable faster and higherquality execution by senior robotics engineers
• Enable strong habits around engineering discipline documentation and testing early in the STL.
• Develop practical skills across robotics software mechatronics and system integration
• Provide a clear growth path toward robotics applications or systems engineering roles
• This is not a researchonly role and not limited to simulation environments.

Key Responsibilities

Robotics & Systems Engineering (Entry Level)

• Support development and integration of robotic and cobot systems under guidance from senior engineers.
• Assist with robot bringup calibration basic programming and commissioning activities.
• Contribute to portions of system engineering specifications interface definitions and test documentation.
• Execute structured tests and experiments; clearly document results observations and issues.
• Identify and help troubleshoot engineering problems related to robot behavior integration or usability.

SoftwareOriented Robotics Support

• Candidates with a stronger software background will:
• Assist with development and debugging of robotics software using Python and/or C.
• Work handson with either ROS including nodes topics TF and basic system integration or suppliers established SDKs.
• Use simulation and visualization tools such as Gazebo (or equivalent) to support development and testing.
• Support integration of robot drivers sensors and applicationlevel logic under supervision.

Mechanical / MechatronicsOriented Robotics Support

• Candidates with a stronger mechanical or mechatronics background will:
• Support mechanical design and integration of robotic systems endeffectors fixtures and sensors.
• Assist with CAD design layout and documentation for robotics or automation applications.
• Participate in installation and integration of sensors actuators controllers and peripheral equipment.
• Support prototype builds modifications and lab integration activities.

Prototyping Testing & Documentation

• Contribute to rapid prototyping activities including handson lab work.
• Support use of 3D printing and other rapid fabrication methods (bonus capability).
• Capture design assumptions interfaces test procedures and results with accuracy and clarity.
• Follow established processes for documentation version control and engineering reviews.

Collaboration & Learning

• Work closely with senior engineers technicians and crossfunctional teams in the lab.
• Demonstrate curiosity initiative and openness to feedback.
• Actively build knowledge of Applied Materials engineering practices safety expectations and product development lifecycle.
• Participate handson in system integration assembly and testing activities.

Core Competencies:

• Systems & Technology Integration
• Robotics Fundamentals
• Problem Solving
• Technical Documentation
• Mechanical / Software Engineering Practices
• Accuracy & Attention to Detail
• Systems Thinking
• Innovation & Curiosity
• AMAT Product Development Life Cycle

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Robotics Mechatronics Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or Computer Science.
• Demonstrated practical robotics exposure through projects internships research labs or competitions.
• Handson experience in at least one of the following:
• ROS / ROS2 Gazebo or similar robotics frameworks and tools
• Mechanical design and CAD for robotics or automation systems
• Comfortable working handson with physical systems in a lab environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Masters degree in Robotics Mechatronics Mechanical Engineering Electrical
• Exposure to both robotics software and mechanical / mechatronics integration.
• Internship or project experience involving:
• Industrial or collaborative robot arms
• Sensors controllers actuators and robot peripherals
• Robotics simulation visualization or offline programming tools
• Experience with:
• Python and/or C in robotics or technical applications
• CAD tools for robotics or automation design
• 3D printing rapid prototyping or lab fabrication workflows
• Demonstrated versatility across disciplines is highly desirable.

The ideal candidate:

• Has depth in either robotics software or mechanical/mechatronics with curiosity across the full system
• Can demonstrate handson project or internship experience not theory alone
• Shows selfinitiative a growth mindset and willingness to learn from senior engineers
• Values documentation clarity and engineering discipline even at an early career stage
• Wants to grow into a full robotics systems or applications engineering role
