Application Developer or Engineer

About Nearfield Instruments Nearfield Instruments (NFI) is a fast-growing scale-up high-tech company. We design, develop, integrate, market and service advanced metrology machines. Our machines enables our customers - the world’s leading chipmakers – to increase the production yields, and thus, functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.

Founded in 2016, we bring together the most creative minds (approx. 380 employees) in science and technology and develop a one-of-a-kind, revolutionary high throughput Scanning Probe Microscopy system.

In your role, you will be bridging the gap between product development, onsite customer application services, and sales. Helping the world’s leading chipmakers stay in control of their manufacturing processes, you will convince them of the capabilities of our cutting-edge atomic force microscopy (AFM) systems, demonstrating them on customer wafers, and contribute to R&D to meet future needs.

Identifying our customer’s metrology needs, for which you will work closely with marketing and sales colleagues and attend meetings with customers.
Demonstrating the capabilities of our products, performing measurements on customer wafers, and analyzing the data generated.
Reporting and presenting your findings to our customers, showing the unique potential of our systems.
Creating measurement recipes in the customer fab, working closely with the customer. You will also conduct tests to ensure that specifications are met and train the engineers and operators of our customers.
