Smart interface boards and system integration

Kulicke and Soffa develop and produce pick and place machines for the electronics industry. As a senior electrical engineer I was involved in the development of the newest generation SMT pick and place machine. For that machine I designed a number of smart interface modules and I was also
involved in the complete electrical system design, cables and system integration of all the electronic modules (insorced, outsourced and off the shelf modules).

At Kulicke and Soffa I did the following activities:

  • Designed a analogue temperature sensor acquisition board
  • Designed a encoder interface board with encoder error detection
  • Designed a interface board for all the sensors and actuators in the tool exchange unit module
  • Investigated and solved EMC problems in the system
  • System integration
  • Module testing
