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. 4,500 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 SEM / TEM inspections and up-to date on the current limitations and possibilities of the tools with a focus on semi-conductor materials.
• You will follow-up the different service queues.
• You are a driver in achieving the different targets wrt quality, speed and volume in order to deliver value in time to our customers.

• You work in a alternating shift regime (1 week early / 1 week late) including 1 out of 4 weekends.

What's in it for you?

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.
