Electrical Engineering Team
The Electrical Engineering team at Zaber is a multidisciplinary group with a broad range of interests that goes far beyond electronics and has a modicum of expertise to go with it. Our expertise is continually improving through experience, research, and a growing team with a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees. The team's primary focus is on electronics and control system design to support Zaber's extensive selection of precision motion control products. Our team is also on the front lines when it comes to investigating new technologies, physics, and optics that look promising to support Zaber's continued growth and diversification. Most of us on the team specialize in either electronics or control systems, but those of us with generalist tendencies often have the chance to utilize skills in other focus areas as projects in those areas come up. We are a highly interactive group that works closely with many of Zaber's teams, particularly firmware, software, mechanical engineering, production engineering, and applications support.
Electrical and Test Engineering: A 5-Star Review of Zaber
I first learned about Zaber during a student tour (which I definitely did not sign up for because of the free cookies). A few years and several co-op terms later, I'd like to share my top 3 reasons why Zaber is a great place to do a co-op:0. Adorable doggos in the office!1. There are always people who know more than you (in the best way)Being around knowledgeable and smart Zaberians, I naturally learned a ton just from osmosis. But even better, there were awesome people who actively mentored me during both my time on the electrical engineering and test engineering team
Working to Make Automation Easier
At Zaber, we're always working to lower the barriers to automation. Join David Goosen from our Mechanical Engineering Team as he shares how we try to make that happen.
ZX Day
Our annual hackathon is a chance for anyone at the company to put together a team and deliver something that they think is worthwhile. It's a short burst of autonomy where oversight and process tends to take a back seat to creativity and elbow grease. A number of our products and internal tools started out as ZX projects. And even if you don't work on a ZX project, the final stretch is always exciting to watch and culminates in presentations and celebrations.
Parallel Axis Tripteron Concept
Zaber's R&D team does some interesting work in the name of experimentation and exploration and not always with a clear purpose in mind. Such is the path to innovation. A recent example is "Frogbot". .
