R&D Engineer

ABOUT THE JOB

Are you a technical expert excited about new technology development and the creation of an international business from research? Would you like to play an active role in growing a deep tech startup?

ATOMEL is a Research-to-Business project, with the goal of converting an academic innovation in the field of SPM for thin-film characterization and metrology with the specific focus on the semiconductor industry into a new business. The initial funding is for 18 months and is meant to prepare for commercialization. If successful, the project can lead to the creation of a startup.

We are now inviting applications for two (2) R&D engineer positions.

Position 1: R&D Engineer – SPM Instrumentation & Control Systems

You will lead the hardware optimization and real-time control system development for the ATOMEL. This role focuses on implementing resonators, managing digital controllers, and integrating and optimizing custom force, I-V and C-V measurement channels to deliver fast, high-precision electrical and sub-nanometer resolution measurements.

Position 2: R&D Engineer – Semiconductor Device Physics & Thin-Film Metrology

You will lead the material characterization strategy and translate raw electrical data into actionable semiconductor insights. Focusing on advanced thin-film physics, nanoelectronics, and MOS structures, you will analyze high-precision I-V and C-V metrics to align our measurement capabilities with current industrial foundry trends and defect-tracking needs.

Our goal is to build a balanced, two-person team with complementary skill sets and working in tandem.
