The main bottleneck for increasing output in the semiconductor industry is the time spent on quality control using single scanning probe microscopy. Scale-up Nearfield Instruments has developed the unique metrology solution called QUADRA, which increases throughput a hundredfold. As a strategic supply chain manager, you will help us meet the soaring demand from global chipmakers. Your challenge is to take the lead in strategically transforming and maintaining our mechatronics supply chain. That’s how you will play a crucial part in our ambitious growth strategy.
As we’re rapidly transforming from a start-up to a scale-up and beyond, your role is to strategically optimise our supply chain management for mechatronics modules. You will secure a mechatronics supply chain that’s able to meet our own spike in demand. And together with your fellow strategic supply chain managers for electronics and mechanics, you will drive robust supply chain performance. You will also optimise QLTC (Quality, Logistics, Technology and Cost).
Your responsibilities include:
Nearfield Instruments being a rapidly growing scale-up, we have no closely defined boundaries or hierarchy. We all work together to realise Nearfield Instruments’ growth strategy. What connects us is a drive to develop and build deeptech 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 and career in an open, friendly and supportive atmosphere. Because at Nearfield Instruments, Together Everyone Achieves More.
At Nearfield Instruments, you’ll be joining the most creative minds in science and technology from all over the world. Fostering a fun, diverse and inclusive culture, we encourage you to be, or become, who and what you want to be. Which is why you will get all the support you need to evolve, and why we care about your work-life balance. We enable you to simplify the logistics of your life by empowering you to get the job done in the way that works best for your role, development and personal circumstances.
These are your benefits:
You embrace the freedom and challenge of shaping your role to meet the strategic needs of our deeptech scale-up organisation. To achieve the best possible strategic solutions, you involve, inspire and convince colleagues and suppliers, using your communication skills. You also know how to manage and balance short-term pressure and long-term priorities geared to realising the company’s mission.
You also have:
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 QUADRA with four mini atomic force microscopes that helps 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.
