Defining and managing performance budgets across wafer handling, stage motion, measurement workflows and data processing.
Developing and running test plans to validate performance against requirements.
Using tool logs, instrument data and evidence-based analysis to find where time, accuracy or repeatability are being lost.
Working with engineering, quality and project teams to support integration, troubleshoot issues and drive practical improvements.
Helping make the instrument faster to run, quicker to set up and more predictable in production use.
You will likely have experience in complex, high-precision or multi-disciplinary instrumentation. Semiconductor experience would be a strong bonus, but it is not a dealbreaker.
You will need experience with:
Systems engineering, platform performance, throughput, timing, motion or positioning.
Requirements definition and measurable specification writing.
Analysing system-level data, logs or test results to identify performance limits.
Working across disciplines such as mechanics, electronics, optics, software, control systems or motion systems.
Instrument testing, verification and validation.
Data analysis using tools such as Python, MATLAB or Excel.
Experience with wafer handling, stage/navigation systems, automation, Atomic Force Microscopy, C# or Python-based test automation would be useful, but not essential.
You will join a growing, high-calibre team of 100+ people based in Abingdon, backed by global financial and industry investors, including Applied Ventures.
You will get real ownership, exposure to advanced semiconductor technology, and the chance to influence how a customer-proven platform performs in live production environments.
