Systems Engineer for Mycronic Pattern Generator (PG)

Academic Work Sweden AB · Vollzeit

Solnavägen 3H, Stockholm, Schweden

Mycronic is a global high-tech company that has been driving the electronics industry forward for over 50 years. We continue to grow and support customers across an increasing number of industries, and what we do shapes technologies that will define tomorrow's society, how we live our lives today – and tomorrow. We're now looking for more people who want to join our engaged and driven teams, which are at the forefront of technology. Here you'll work in an open, flexible, and collaborative environment where you get to work closely with leading experts and take on challenging projects that turn ideas into reality and bring tomorrow's electronics to life. If you have a genuine passion for technology, this is a place where curiosity, development, and the drive to solve tomorrow's technical challenges never end. Welcome to Mycronic! About the role Mycronic continues to expand into a growing range of industries. The Pattern Generator (PG) division, which you'll be part of in this role, currently holds a unique market position as the world's leading supplier of laser-based pattern generators for the manufacture of photomasks, which are in turn used in the production of high-resolution displays and microprocessors. Every high-resolution display produced in large volumes that you see – whether it's a TV, mobile phone, tablet, Apple Watch, etc. – Mycronic's machines are a critical part of the manufacturing process. Role significance & technical challenges In advanced technical systems, performance is rarely determined by a single component. It arises from the interaction between many different parts. As a systems engineer, you'll therefore have a central role in understanding the entire chain from physical reality and measurement to models, algorithms, and final system performance. The technical challenge lies in understanding how the many parts of the system interact and what actually determines the final result. This requires a deep understanding of the entire product – from mechanics and optics to measurement, calibration, and software. When we talk about, for example, nanometer precision, it's not just about understanding what a nanometer is, but about what that precision means to the customer, why it's important, and how the entire machine needs to work together to achieve it. Responsibilities In this role, you work at the intersection of different technical areas and contribute to ensuring that our systems (hardware and software) meet high demands for accuracy, stability, and repeatability. An important part of the work is understanding and developing how the system is calibrated. This involves much more than following a calibration procedure. You need to understand what we measure, why we measure it, what sources of error exist, and how different parts of the system affect the final result. For example, you will: Develop and improve methods for calibration and verification. Analyze measurement data and assess accuracy, repeatability, and measurement uncertainty. Troubleshoot complex problems that may involve, for example, mechanics, electronics, sensors, optics, control systems, and software. Develop models and methods for parameter estimation and compensation. Plan and conduct experiments to verify hypotheses and understand system behavior. Automate analysis and calibration workflows. Translate system requirements into measurable and verifiable characteristics. We're looking for you This is a role for someone who is curious about understanding how things work at a deeper level. When a measurement result doesn't look as expected, you don't stop at noting the deviation – you want to understand the cause. You work methodically and can formulate hypotheses, design experiments, and use data to determine which explanation is most likely. At the same time, you have an eye for detail and a desire to learn how small changes in, for example, temperature, mechanics, references, measurement methods, or system configuration can have a major impact when working with systems that have very high precision requirements. Further, you have: A Master's degree or PhD in technical physics, electrical engineering, optics, mechatronics, control systems, or a related field. And knowledge in several of the following areas, from studies or work experience: Systems analysis, modeling, and control systems. Measurement techniques, measurement uncertainty, statistics, and data analysis. Mathematical methods for parameter estimation, optimization, and numerical analysis. Coordinate transformations and programming in, for example, Python or MATLAB. Very good English skills and good Swedish skills. You don't need to be a specialist in all these areas. What's more important is that you have a strong mathematical and analytical foundation and are drawn to gaining a deep understanding of new technical areas.
