Job Description

The Senior Automation Software Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and integrating advanced control software for semiconductor and advanced packaging equipment.

Job Responsibility:

1. Software Design & Development

Develop and maintain real-time automation software for precision dispensing, inspection, and process modules. Design modular and reusable code in C#, C++, .NET/WPF, and Python for motion control, vision processing, and system integration. Develop user-friendly HMIs, recipe management tools, and data acquisition interfaces to support production and R&D use cases.
2. System Integration & Control

Integrate third-party hardware such as motion controllers, cameras, dispensing valves, and sensors into cohesive machine platforms. Develop real-time communication layers using EtherCAT, Modbus, OPC-UA, or proprietary industrial protocols. Validate synchronization between motion, jetting, and vision modules for high precision process control. Lead root-cause analysis for system performance issues and drive continuous improvement in stability and throughput.
3. Collaboration & Cross-Functional Support

4. Innovation & Continuous Improvement

Participate in R&D projects involving process application and AI-based process control. Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies that enhance equipment precision, performance, and scalability. Support digital transformation initiatives such as data analytics, MES/SECS-GEM integration, and predictive maintenance systems. Apply best practices in software lifecycle management, source control (Git, Azure DevOps), and automated testing.

Technical Skills

Proficiency in C#, NET/WPF. Familiarity with motion control platforms and EtherCAT/OPC-UA communication. Experience with machine vision libraries (OpenCV). Understanding of AI/ML-based process feedback and data visualization frameworks. Solid foundation in software debugging, version control, and modular design architecture.

Experience

Bachelor's or Master's degree with at least

5 years

of software development experience in industrial automation, semiconductor equipment, or precision robotics. Proven experience in motion control, machine vision, and real-time system integration. Hands-on experience integrating motion controllers, cameras, and process modules. Prior exposure to semiconductor advanced packaging, underfill jetting, or wafer-level assembly is an advantage. Experience collaborating with external vendors or R&D partners for system development or joint validation.
