In this role you will join Nova's Motion Control group. You will be designing, developing and implementing advanced motion systems for the next-generation Optical Critical Dimension metrology tools, as part of a world class R&D division.

Role Responsibilities

What will you be doing:

• Develop and implement unique solutions integrating advanced motion control technologies, delivering innovative and "out-of-the-box" approaches tailored with cutting-edge, high-end technology.
• Use excellent engineering expertise to develop and optimize servo control systems, including algorithm design and custom solution implementation.
• Analyze and optimize motion control system performance to ensure compliance with specifications and stability requirements.
• Take ownership of suppliers and manufacturers to establish specifications for needed equipment and keep up on the latest developments.
• Present and explain product spec. definition and design reviews presenting motion & electronics engineering point of view.
• Conduct testing, inspection and troubleshooting guides for designed motion control or electronics modules and subsystems.
• Collaborate closely with R&D activities in terms of motion control and servo solutions assistance for lab set-ups, prototypes and jigs.

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Electronics/Mechanics or Mechatronics Engineering from a leading academic institute – mandatory.
• M.Sc. in Electronics/Mechanics or Mechatronics Engineering from a leading academic institute – an advantage
• At least 5 years of experience in Motion Control design, Working in R&D Team
• Previous experience in the semiconductor/printing/defense/medical equipment industries – an advantage
• Proven leadership skills, exemplified by successfully leading multidisciplinary projects within a matrix organization, effectively coordinating internal teams and external partners.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in Hebrew and English.
• Expertise in leveraging control simulations, servo algorithms and data analysis for performance optimization and root cause investigation.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI-based engineering tools to accelerate development, debugging, documentation, research, and problem solving.
• Developed and implemented training sessions for team members, enhancing overall departmental proficiency in motion control and servo algorithms.
• Willingness to travel abroad (once a quarter)

That special something you bring in:

• Excellent technical skills and systemic understanding
• A strong "team player" with a hands-on approach
• Proactive and able to learn and work independently 
• Excellent leadership skills
• Problem solver, "can do" approach, never afraid of challenges
• Effective time management skills (meeting project deadlines and milestones)
• Strong verbal, presentation, and written communication skills in both Hebrew and English.
