Job description

About Nearfield Instruments

Nearfield Instruments (NFI) is a fast-growing scale-up high-tech company. We design, develop, integrate, market and service advanced metrology machines. Our machines enable our customers, the world’s leading chipmakers, to increase the production yields, and thus functionality, of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.

Founded in 2016, we bring together the most creative minds (approx. 500 employees) in science and technology and develop a one-of-a-kind, revolutionary high throughput Scanning Probe Microscopy system.

What will you be doing?

As a Quality Control Technician, you inspect and release incoming raw materials, components and equipment parts for our semiconductor metrology systems. You make sure everything that goes into our ISO 5 cleanroom meets supplier specifications, engineering requirements and the cleanliness standards that nanoscale metrology demands.

Main responsibilities include:

  • Perform dimensional, visual and functional inspections of incoming parts, jigs, fixtures and spare parts;

  • Carry out particle count, contamination and cleanliness verification for cleanroom-grade materials;

  • Review supplier documentation such as Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Certificates of Conformance (CoC) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS);

  • Keep our inspection and metrology equipment calibrated and ready for use;

  • Plan your inspections so parts are released on time for assembly;

  • Document and report your findings clearly in our ERP/QMS systems;

  • Collaborate closely with Supplier Quality Engineering and Supply Chain Management.
