Field Services Engineer - Advanced Metrology

About the CompanyA globally recognised leader in advanced nanoscale metrology and precision measurement technology is expanding its engineering team in Hillsboro, Oregon, supporting one of the world's most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities.The company develops highly sophisticated metrology and microscopy equipment used across semiconductor manufacturing, materials science, advanced R&D, and precision engineering environments. Their technologies are widely used for nanoscale surface measurement, defect analysis, thin film characterisation, optical inspection, and ultra-high precision measurement applications.About the RoleThis is a specialist, site-based engineering role supporting advanced metrology and analytical instrumentation inside a cutting-edge semiconductor fab. Unlike traditional travel-heavy Field Service positions, this opportunity offers a stable on-site environment where you will become a key technical expert supporting complex precision measurement systems critical to semiconductor production.The role is particularly suited to engineers with hands-on experience working on metrology tools, microscopy systems, optical instrumentation, laser-based equipment, or semiconductor inspection platforms.Key ResponsibilitiesProvide technical support and troubleshooting for advanced metrology, microscopy, optical, and laser-based systemsMonitor tool health, system stability, measurement accuracy, and uptime within a semiconductor manufacturing environmentDiagnose complex faults across hardware, optics, software, motion control, vacuum systems, and precision measurement componentsSupport installation, qualification, calibration, and production ramp of new metrology equipmentWork closely with process engineers, applications teams, and global technical support groupsDrive continuous improvement activities focused on tool reliability, measurement repeatability, and process performanceCandidate BackgroundWe are specifically interested in engineers with experience supporting, servicing, maintaining, or troubleshooting equipment such as:Semiconductor metrology and inspection systemsAtomic Force Microscopy (AFM)Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM)Optical metrology and surface analysis equipmentInterferometry and confocal microscopy systemsThin film measurement and characterisation toolsLaser-based measurement or inspection systemsPrecision motion control and nanopositioning equipmentSurface profilometry and nanoscale measurement systemsAnalytical or laboratory instrumentation used in semiconductor or advanced manufacturing environmentsCandidates with experience working on semiconductor metrology equipment, surface measurement and characterisation systems, AFM/SEM platforms, optical metrology tools, interferometry systems, profilometry equipment, or other high-precision analytical and nanoscale measurement instruments are highly encouraged to applyPreferred QualificationsRelevant educational backgrounds include:Electrical EngineeringMechanical EngineeringElectronicsMechatronicsPhysicsMaterials SciencePhysical ChemistryCompensation & Benefits$130,000 - $150,000 Base SalaryFull Family Healthcare401(k) MatchDay Shift Only3 Weeks PTO + Public HolidaysThis is an outstanding opportunity to work with highly advanced nanoscale measurement and metrology technologies at the forefront of semiconductor manufacturing.
