Summary
Foad Farimani is a System Lead Engineer with 11 years of multidisciplinary experience designing high-precision systems for semiconductor and medical industries, currently leading development at NTS for ASML DUV and EUV tooling. He combines deep expertise in robotics, mechatronics, motion control, fluidics, thermal management and optics with hands-on CAD (NX, SolidWorks) and programming (C, Python) skills to deliver complex, high-performance assemblies. A former PhD researcher in surgical robotics, he has translated academic innovations—MRI-compatible pneumatic actuators, patented robotic architectures and multiple peer-reviewed publications—into industrial R&D and funding initiatives. He is known for chairing competence teams and driving process optimization and research funding efforts, demonstrating both technical depth and strategic program leadership. Colleagues rely on him for precision engineering analyses (fatigue, heat transfer) and rapid prototyping expertise spanning additive manufacturing to CNC.
