- Commissioning production systems: Manage the systems after the hardware check and bring them into operation from a process perspective—from initial settings to final optimization.
- Performing system acceptances: Document internal tests (IAT) and accompany the final customer acceptance (FAT), usually directly on-site at our customers' facilities.
- Advising customers and colleagues: Share your knowledge, train the service team, and support customers with technical questions.
- Further developing systems: Test new components, contribute ideas, and actively support documentation and process optimization.
What You Should Bring
- Technical know-how: An education (University of Applied Sciences or equivalent) in physics, materials science, microtechnology, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering.
- Experience or willingness to learn: Knowledge in vacuum technology and thin-film processes is beneficial, or you are motivated to learn PVD processes such as sputtering and evaporation.
- Hands-on mentality: Enjoy working practically, tinkering, adjusting, and finding creative solutions.
- Communication & travel: Enjoy interacting with customers, possess good English language skills, and be willing to travel occasionally (approximately 15%).
- Technical skills: Passion for tinkering, assembling, and fine-tuning—technology is in your DNA.
