Job description

Hours40 hr.Salary indicationSalary gross/monthly
based on full-time€ 2,683 – € 3,636Deadline9 Aug 2024The TechEngine team is a group of 7 technicians that is the engine of the XUV Optic Group. They work every day with the complex deposition and measurement setups in the lab, and they support students, PhDs, but also post-docs and professors in physics research projects.It is our mission to form an approachable and reliable team that provides hands-on support for thin film research for and with industrial partners such as ASML, Zeiss, Panalytical and VDL. There is always room for growth and professional development as well as social interaction. We hope you will join our team so that we can realize our vision of being the leading technical team that enables state-of-the-art research in the Silicon Valley of Twente.As a Research Engineer you will be responsible for the design, operation and maintenance of one or more of our (vacuum) thin film deposition and analysis setups. These deposition setups include physical vapor techniques such as pulsed laser deposition and magnetron sputtering but also chemical deposition techniques such as Langmuir-Blodget or spray-coating deposition. With these systems you will participate in research projects for the semiconductor industry and you will perform a diverse palette of experiments, from thin film deposition, to measuring material properties at the atomic level. In addition, you will help to analyse measurements of samples made and report the analysis within the relevant research project. You are also responsible for contacts with suppliers, and you participate in project discussions with our industrial partners.And of course there is every opportunity for you to participate in group activities, from drinks to sports together to visit our industrial partners.Your profileThe ideal candidate for this position has the following profile:

• You have completed a bachelor’s degree in applied physics or chemistry, materials science, mechatronics or nanotechnology
• 0 – 5 years work experience
• Knowledge of Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) systems, thin film deposition
• Working independently in a technical/academic environment (physics and chemistry laboratory), thinking critically and solving technical problems is very important to us.
• Students who will soon graduate and recognize themselves in this profile are also welcome to apply.

Our offerWe offer a varied position with an informal working atmosphere with a lot of freedom and personal responsibility within the project team. This is a full-time position for a limited period of time. You will initially be appointed for 1 year. The employment conditions are in accordance with the CAO NU.

This specialization in materials science forms the basis for special multilayer optical coatings for the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray (X-ray) wavelength range. World records have been achieved at XUV that enable the latest industrial developments, such as the optics for ASML’s EUV scanners with Carl Zeiss mirrors. The emphasis in the research is on fundamental and application-oriented studies of nanometer-thin films. The multidisciplinary program is strongly motivated by industrial, high-tech innovation. For this research, the XUV Optics group has a 500 m2 large, state-of-the-art laboratory with unique research possibilities. The group has about 35 employees.
