Based in Abingdon, Oxford, UK, we are a high calibre team of 100 plus people and we are growing fast. We are backed by global financial and industry investors including Applied Ventures, the strategic venture arm of the industry leading equipment company.
About the role:
This role is suited for a multidisciplinary engineer with an interest in systems who would like to grow further in that domain. It requires working in a methodological way while employing strong problem-solving skills to evaluate and improve requirements and performance criteria of complex systems. You’d be joining one of our System Functions, working on core modules of our Metron3D product. A typical day for a Systems Engineer (Wafer Positioning and Navigation) could look like this:
- Assessing and improving system functional performance.
- Collaborating with cross‑functional teams to design, develop, and integrate complex systems across mechanical, electrical, control, and software domains.
- Creating and maintaining clear and effective technical documentation.
- Working hands‑on with equipment and test apparatus to build a deep understanding of machine behaviour and to validate the performance of implemented designs.
- Supporting applications, manufacturing, and service teams with fault identification, investigation, and resolution.
Who we are looking for:
To succeed as a Systems Engineer (Wafer Positioning and Navigation) we do need you to have the following experience or skills:
- Competent using complex instruments containing several of the following: mechanics, electronics, motion systems, control systems, software or similar.
- Addressing complex tasks and activities.
- Creating technical documentation.
Nice to have:
- Systems Engineering within leading-edge instrumentation, measurement or advanced process tools, preferably for the Semiconductor or similar end-user industry.
- Motion control systems.
- Project management methodologies.
Education / Qualifications:
Either a BSC Eng in Physics or Engineering or similar, or a clear equivalent path through relevant apprenticeship or accumulated experience. If you require adjustments to take part in the recruitment process, please let us know, we’ll do our best to support you.
Location and work pattern:
All of our new UK team members are asked to work on site here at Abingdon during their first three months with us. We offer flexible, hybrid working where possible upon completion of probation.
