Applications Engineer, Semiconductor Metrology / AFM

アプリケーションエンジニア｜半導体計測・AFM

Japan | Yokohama / Customer Site

Graduate to Senior level | 新卒・第二新卒・経験者・シニア

On-site role | Up to 50% travel | International training

Junior Applications Engineer: ¥7.5m–¥9.5m
Applications Engineer: ¥9.0m–¥12.0m

You'll also receive our local Japan benefits package and opportunities to develop your career within a growing international semiconductor technology business.

Your AFM expertise could help shape the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing.

If you work with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), semiconductor metrology, advanced instrumentation or nanoscale measurement, we'd like to talk to you.

At Infinitesima, we're developing AFM technology specifically for the demands of semiconductor manufacturing.

Our technology helps semiconductor manufacturers measure and understand increasingly complex structures at the nanoscale, and we're growing our Applications Engineering capability in Japan.

We're interested in people at all career stages, from talented graduates and early-career scientists through to experienced Applications Engineers and recognised AFM or semiconductor metrology specialists.

The role

You'll become one of the technical links between Infinitesima's AFM technology and our semiconductor customers in Japan.

Depending on your experience, you'll:

Develop and optimise AFM measurement methodologies
Work directly with semiconductor customers on complex metrology challenges
Develop measurement recipes, workflows and applications
Analyse nanoscale measurement data and communicate your findings
Troubleshoot challenging customer applications
Conduct technical demonstrations and proof-of-capability work
Deliver technical training and consultation
Feed customer insights back into our Product and Engineering teams
Collaborate internationally with scientists, engineers and commercial colleagues
Help influence the development of future semiconductor metrology technology

For experienced hires, there is scope to become a recognised technical authority within our global Applications Engineering organisation.

Who we're looking for

Experienced candidates

You may already be working as an:

Applications Engineer / Application Engineer
Field Applications Engineer
Semiconductor Metrology Engineer
AFM Applications Scientist
AFM Engineer
SPM Engineer
Process Engineer
Equipment Engineer
Metrology Engineer
Customer Applications Engineer
Technical Support Engineer

Experience with AFM or SPM is particularly attractive.

We'd also love to hear from semiconductor professionals working with:

Advanced semiconductor metrology
Wafer inspection or characterisation
Thin-film or surface measurement
Nanotechnology
Advanced scientific instrumentation
Semiconductor process development
Semiconductor equipment

You don't need to tick every box.

Specialist people rarely fit neatly into a job description.

Graduates and early-career scientists

Already getting hands-on with AFM, SPM or nanoscale characterisation at university or during postgraduate research?

Don't assume you need years of semiconductor industry experience.

We'd particularly like to hear from graduates, Master's and PhD candidates in:

Physics
Applied Physics
Materials Science
Nanoscience / Nanotechnology
Semiconductor Engineering
Electronic Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Surface Science
Related scientific or engineering disciplines

Research or practical laboratory experience involving AFM/SPM, surface characterisation or advanced instrumentation could be a great starting point.

Japan location and travel

This bit matters, so we're being upfront.

This is not a remote or hybrid position.

You'll work on-site at our customer location every working day
You must be willing and able to relocate within reasonable travelling distance of the customer site
The role involves up to 50% domestic and international travel once fully trained.
You'll work closely with colleagues across Japan, the UK and our wider global organisation
