• Develop models, simulation tools and design‑optimization methodologies for precision motion, fluidic, and thermal controls applications.
• Expand existing Model‑Based Design (MBD) capabilities and develop Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) workflows through systems‑level integration of mechatronics sub‑systems models.
• Develop novel sensing, estimation, actuation and control solutions for next‑generation analyzers and automation systems.
• Guide design engineers in executing the mechatronics design cycle that involves understanding design requirements, concept generation, design selection, and driving simulation‑based servo‑mechanical design optimization and robustness.
• Generate and test model‑based code for hardware‑in‑loop testing of prototypes for novel mechatronic and robotic designs.
• Work with mechatronics specialists as well as design and test engineers from Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering and Firmware/Software functions to develop and integrate novel, improved and cost‑effective mechatronics solutions for Instrument and Automation platforms.
• Contribute to technology development for Siemens next‑generation diagnostics platforms.
• Participate, initiate, and lead technology/design reviews with cross‑functional teams.
• Actively participate in continuous improvement efforts within the Mechatronics Engineering function by contributing to development of improved modeling and simulation techniques, and authoring mechatronics design best practices.
• Actively identify potential technical problems and provide effective solutions through original and innovative thinking.
• Travel across Tarrytown NY, Flanders NJ, and Glasgow, DE sites as needed to facilitate cross‑site product and technology development work. Hybrid work environment with work on site and from home based on business needs.

• Solid understanding of fundamentals of dynamics, control theory, sensors, actuators, circuit theory, basic/applied physics, basic electronics, and signal processing.
• Strong background in mechatronics and robotics.
• Skilled in developing mathematical models and simulation tools for mechatronic systems ranging from detailed and coarse‑grained physics‑based models to integrated systems models that incorporate system behavioral logic.
• Experience developing advanced control algorithms and designs to achieve optimal performance and robustness of robotic and motion control systems.
• Strong “system thinking” approach to problem solving.
• Apply system‑level thinking in the mechatronics design process including firmware and software architecture and their interaction with hardware.
• Working knowledge of system identification and parameter estimation methods.
• Proficient in Matlab, Simulink, Simscape, and Stateflow.
• Familiar with Simulink and Matlab‑based code‑generation and deployment.
• Familiarity with Multiphysics modeling using Simscape and other tools highly desirable.
• Experience with programming in C/C++/Python.
• Broad knowledge of novel sensors and actuators and their underlying physical principles with applications to robotics, MEMS, and signal detection.
• Experience with AI/ML algorithms for control, sensing, fault‑detection, and machine vision systems desirable.
• Experience with instrumentation, data acquisition, and uncertainty analysis.
• Familiarity with statistical methods, Design of Experiments, and data analysis desirable.
• Working knowledge of structured design optimization methods including Bayesian Optimization schemes a plus.
• Team player with…
