Service Engineer

It is difficult to imagine the modern world without electronics. From televisions to cars, and from fridges to the device you are reading this on right now, they are all interconnected by semiconductor devices (chips). To get the most use out of them, and the limited space in these devices, new methods are constantly being discovered to shrink them. Now, they have shrunk to the point that they cannot be measured anymore. That is where Nearfield Instruments comes in. We developed new technologies to make Atomic Force Microscopy so fast and accurate that it can be used as in-line metrology tool in the manufacturing of the most advanced semiconductor devices. This solves one of the biggest challenges for our (potential) customers, which are the largest Semiconductor Manufacturers in the world.

What will your main focus be?

You will be a member of the Demo Support team. As service engineer you will make sure that

the tool is always in an optimal state such that it can deliver the performance that the (internal) customers

require. Currently, the team consists of four members, and you will report directly to the Demo Support Team Lead

Your responsibilities & tasks as derived from your main focus

Quadra is a tool with innovative mechatronics to enable sub-nanometer scale accuracy and repeatability

in terms of measuring 3 dimensional structures in semiconductor chips manufacturing. Your

responsibilities/tasks are

• Work with Application team and D&E to support preparation and execution of activities

performed on Quadra demo tool, such as demo and HW/SW validation

• Be the first layer of contact to troubleshoot machine issue, and escalate to get support from

D&E and fix the issue in a timely manner

• Plan and implement preventive and corrective maintenance (service work) of Quadra demo

tool

• Provide suggestions for product improvements based on the daily use of the product

Why is this position interesting for you?

You will be part of a winning team in a company with bright future. You must take the initiative while being

able to work as part of a team to achieve the team objectives and you always get the support you need

from everybody in the company to be successful. You will work with leading edge technology and

products that are needed to manufacture the world’s most advanced semiconductor devices. You will

have the opportunity to develop your technical skills, learn more about semiconductors and

semiconductor manufacturing, you work in a dynamic work environment where no 2 days are the same.
