Key skills for this role
Are you an experienced C# Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex engineering problems where software directly controls real-world hardware?
We're looking for a Senior C# Software Engineer to help develop the next generation of semiconductor metrology and inspection systems. You'll work on software that controls high-precision motion systems, sensors, data acquisition platforms and advanced measurement technology used by leading semiconductor manufacturers worldwide.
This is a technical leadership role where you'll influence software architecture, mentor developers, and work closely with engineers and scientists developing technology operating at the leading edge of semiconductor innovation.
We're adopting agentic development with Claude, but our engineers retain full ownership and accountability of the code they ship - whether they wrote it or generated it. AI is a tool that amplifies engineering expertise, not a substitute for it
