Job Description

About the Company

A globally respected metrology technology leader is expanding its on-site engineering team in Hillsboro, Oregon, supporting one of the most advanced semiconductor fabrication facilities in the world.

About the Role

This is not a road-warrior CSE role. It’s a high-impact, site-based engineering position where you’ll work hands-on with ultra-precise surface measurement, optical, and laser-based systems inside a cutting-edge cleanroom environment. If you come from metrology, microscopy, laser systems, or precision optical instrumentation, this is your opportunity to step deeper into advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Provide first-line technical support for advanced optical, laser-based, and surface metrology systems
• Monitor tool health, uptime, and performance inside a semiconductor fab
• Troubleshoot complex hardware, software, optical, and measurement-related challenges
• Support installation, qualification, and production ramp of new tools
• Collaborate with global engineering, applications, and process teams
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimise tool reliability and yield

Qualifications

• Relevant degrees include:
• Electrical Engineering
• Electronics
• Materials Science
• Physical Chemistry

Required Skills

We’re particularly interested in engineers with experience in:

• Semiconductor metrology or inspection tools
• Optical measurement systems
• Microscopy (confocal, interferometry, surface analysis, etc.)
• Laser-based measurement or exposure systems
• SEM/surface characterisation equipment
• Precision instrumentation or high-accuracy motion systems
