Factory Logistics Operator

Drive the efficiency of deep-tech manufacturing geared to the success of the world’s leading chipmakers.

Full-time · Rotterdam

Speed and precision. That’s what global chipmakers need for their quality and process control to increase their output. And that’s what Nearfield Instruments’ unique metrology systems offer. It’s also what makes you excel as a factory logistics operator. Thanks to you, we will be able to accelerate production and meet the growing demand for our deep-tech systems.

What you’re going to do

At Nearfield Instruments, you will join a rapidly growing scale-up. We encourage you to help shape and improve our warehouse and logistics processes. And you will do what it takes to meet our cleanroom assembly teams’ logistics needs.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Uncrating, unpacking and visually inspecting incoming goods for damage. The goods range from bolts and cables to heavy parts and pre-fabricated modules.

  • Cleaning, double-packing and labelling hardware, ensuring compliance with cleanroom standards.

  • Collating and storing kits for assembly, as well as monitoring and updating the warehouse and cleanroom inventory. Of course, you will make sure that all hardware is easily traceable for everyone in our team.

  • Delivering hardware assembly kits, including tooling, to cleanrooms and assisting with preparing machines for shipment to clients.

  • Separating and packing rejected or broken hardware for return to suppliers. You will also support with other logistics tasks that may emerge.

Who you’ll be working with

You will join the currently three-strong Warehouse & Logistics team. Being a scale-up, we have no clearly defined department boundaries. We all work together to realise our growth strategy. What connects us is a drive to develop and build deep-tech metrology solutions, enabling 5G connectivity, AI, medical technology, autonomous mobility and so much more. As an international team, we have different cultural backgrounds, which is why diversity and inclusion come naturally to us. Our combined identities and ambitions enrich our culture and make up our strength. We encourage you to be authentic, and empower you to grow your role in an open, friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Who you are

Working accurately and taking ownership, you understand and meet our assembly teams’ needs. You feel comfortable collaborating and interacting with colleagues who work in roles ranging from operator to scientist. And you thrive on working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. Adapting easily to shifting workloads, you don’t mind working outside office hours occasionally. Rest assured that your flexibility is reciprocated, as we support your work-life balance.

You also have:

  • A technical college education (in the Netherlands: mbo 2 or 3) or relevant experience.

  • A forklift licence.

  • A good understanding of packing and unpacking procedures.

  • A keen eye for detail, safety and cleanroom requirements.

  • A good command of spoken and written English, as English is our main language.

Who we are

At Nearfield Instruments, we develop, integrate, market and service advanced 3D metrology solutions, tackling the process control challenges in the nano industry. It’s our high-throughput 3D QUADRA SPM and our in-line AUDIRA subsurface metrology systems that help the world’s leading chipmakers assure the quality and increase production of increasingly smaller, complex and powerful IC devices. Our daringly innovative, atom-scale systems offer solutions for next-gen chips, the latest technologies such as hybrid bonding, and even the most critical layers, including gate-all-around transistors. Being a scale-up founded in 2016, we now employ some 160 of the most creative minds in science and technology.

What can you expect from us?

Besides a technically challenging role where you can utilize the full extend of your professional knowledge, we value your work-live balance and the time for some relaxation. Boost your energy by playing a match of table tennis or clear your mind during our weekly run with colleagues. 


We rely on each other’s qualities, capabilities and we motivate one another to get the best out of ourselves and each other. We are here to support one another, and colleagues are there to help you. TEAM is very important, Together Everyone Achieves More!

We look forward to hear from you!
