Semiconductor Metrology Engineer
You will take responsibility for metrology and e-beam inspection activities supporting advanced patterning, bonding, and in-resist scumming investigations in a high-tech cleanroom environment. You will operate e-beam inspection and metrology systems for recipe development, data collection, and analysis. You will serve as the technical metrology point of contact between customers, integration teams, and process teams. You will also organize project documentation, maintain a central SharePoint, and present project results and progress during technical review meetings. This position is offered through an engineering consulting company. You will be employed by the consulting company and assigned to the client’s project. Develop and optimize metrology recipes for e-beam inspection applications. Operate e-beam inspection and metrology equipment and perform measurement runs in the cleanroom. Acquire, process, and analyze measurement and inspection data. Develop, document, and maintain Best-Known Methods for metrology and image analysis. Investigate measurement results and identify sources of variation, defects, or process-related issues. Coordinate metrology activities and technical requirements with customers, integration teams, and process engineers. Maintain project documentation, measurement results, and technical records in SharePoint. Prepare technical reports, summarize findings, and present results during project and technical review meetings. Support the continuous improvement of metrology methods, workflows, and data-analysis approaches. Master’s degree. 1+ years of experience with cleanroom or fab metrology. Experience with e-beam defect inspection metrology. Experience with data collection and analysis for metrology applications. Advanced English. Hands-on experience with CD-SEM. Hands-on experience with e-beam systems.

Senior Engineer Prototyping Gearboxes and Actuators
You will play a key role in the technical development of high-performance gearboxes and compact actuation systems for humanoid robots, cobots, and wearable devices. You will be responsible for turning novel ideas and concepts into industry-grade products by defining requirements, producing 3D designs and detailed drawings, interacting with parts suppliers and prototype workshops, and iterating designs towards industrial production. This position is in a startup environment. You should be ready for ambiguity, tight schedules, shifting priorities, rapid iteration, close collaboration with the CEO/CTO, and wider responsibility for both hands-on prototyping and decisions that affect the final product. As the company grows, you can expect rapid advancement into leadership roles. Visa: Work authorization in the EU is preferred. Visa sponsorship will be offered only to exceptional candidates. Equity: The position typically does not include an equity package. However, equity can be awarded to exceptional candidates or at a later stage, once you have grown into a leadership position. Key responsibilities Own end-to-end development for new gearbox/actuation projects: requirements, design, prototyping, verification, and industrialization. Make technical decisions based on the trade-offs, communicate rationale, and drive prototype/product delivery with minimal supervision. Manage external suppliers and prototype workshops: oversee parts design, parts procurement/manufacturing with external partners, validation, and assembly. Optimize designs for performance, manufacturability, cost, reliability, serviceability, and safety. Communicate progress, risks, and mitigation to stakeholders. Main requirement Proven experience with small gearboxes, transmissions, and compact actuators. Other requirements Several years of industrial mechanical design and prototype experience. Demonstrated product or design ownership: examples of projects you drove end-to-end, including decisions made and outcomes delivered. Ability to operate autonomously: identify problems, propose concrete solutions, prioritize actions, execute without step-by-step instructions, and escalate appropriately. Experience in 3D CAD (SolidWorks or equivalent) from concept models to detailed drawings suitable for manufacturing. Solid understanding of relevant mechanical components: gears, shafts, bearings, seals, couplings, housings, fasteners, preloads, and fits. Practical experience applying geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) for precision assemblies. Knowledge of material selection for drivetrain components: material trade-offs for strength, wear, weight, and manufacturability. Solid understanding of constraints of manufacturing methods for small gearbox components: CNC turning/milling, hobbing/gear cutting, broaching, gear grinding, EDM, heat treatment, surface finishing, injection molding, die casting, and additive manufacturing. English fluency Nice to have, but not mandatory Leadership or mentoring experience. Experience with backdrivable, low-inertia, high-efficiency transmissions.
