Embedded EtherCAT I/O and control hardware for semiconductor equipment
Digital Dynamics designs and manufactures embedded control hardware for semiconductor, metrology, display and solar equipment, built on Xilinx Zynq, Embedded Linux, EtherCAT and Modbus. Hiring is accelerating and engineering-heavy, with job posts centered on custom production testers and test automation, which points to test capacity as the main bottleneck on output. A parallel push into cross-platform Qt/QML applications and high-performance PCB design suggests a product refresh alongside ongoing legacy support.
