Metrology Systems Engineer

You will probably come from a background in complex instrumentation, precision measurement, scientific equipment, semiconductor tools, AFM, nano-characterisation or advanced metrology.

You will need experience with:

Atomic Force Microscopy or closely related nano-characterisation techniques.

Precision measurement, metrology performance, accuracy, repeatability, uncertainty, error budgeting and requirements definition.

Complex, high-precision or multi-disciplinary instrumentation.

Instrument testing, verification and validation.

Data analysis using tools such as Python, MATLAB or Excel.

Working across disciplines such as mechanics, electronics, optics, software, control systems or motion systems.

It would be useful if you also have experience with Scanning Electron Microscopy, Focused Ion Beam, profilometry, measurement uncertainty methods, gauge R&R, measurement systems analysis, C# or Python-based test automation.

This is a proper ownership role for someone who wants to influence how advanced metrology performs in the real world. You will be close to the physics, close to the data, and close to the engineering decisions that shape the product.
