TEM Engineer

Embracing a better life

Do you have a technical engineering background? Lucky you, because good technicians are much in demand on the job market. But your skills are one thing. Your feeling’s something different. And you may be looking for a job where you can use your technical skills to create added value. For society. For the world.
Well, lucky you - again. Because at imec you get that chance. 'Embracing a better life' is our slogan. No hollow words, but daily reality. We are really working on a better future. Even better, we think of it and shape it. We do that together. 4,000 people. 95 nationalities. Spread across Europe, Asia and the USA. A diverse audience, but we are all believers of one overarching belief: the belief in technology. Because technology can - no, will - improve our lives.
Our contribution? That is small. Literally then: it's about nanoelectronics. The impact on the other hand is huge. Because our chips are used for high-tech solutions that contribute to more efficient health care, safer transport, more sustainable energy, you name it. You see: a better world starts with the technology behind it. And that technology is created in our cleanroom.
And that brings us back to you. Because in order to optimize the production process of chips as optimally as possible, attention to quality and efficiency is essential. And you can help us with that.

Never a dull moment

How do you do that? With a diverse range of tasks:

• You are a technical expert in TEM inspections and up-to date on the current limitations and possibilities of the tools with a focus on semi-conductor materials.
• You connect strongly with the Hardware and Engineering teams to minimize the impact of issues that are typical for the operational department of a research facility.
• You coach and train other tool users.  You process TEM requests as well.
• You will follow-up the different service queues offered by the operational department.  
• You are co-owner in achieving the different targets set within the department: ensure quality delivery on time.  
• You are responsible for an efficient first-time request intake and the first point of contact for customer request evaluation.
• You are responsible for tool qualifications and eager to find the root cause and solution in case off interruptions.
• You detect potential efficiency and quality risks and take the appropriate action.

What are we looking for?

What you need to be eligible? Preferably a master’s degree with equivalent experience or you have several years of hands-on experience with automated metrology, TEM inspections or TEM within the semiconductor industry. Knowledge of English, Dutch is a plus. Other assets? Being strong in planning, prioritizing, multitasking and applying a hands-on approach. Does that sound like a lot? No panic, the desire to take on the challenge is the most important thing. Because working at imec is not a boring 9 to 5. An early, late, night or weekend shift comes with the job. But no panic, that is not too bad. Imagine the seas of time you’d have at times when others are busy.
