Nanosurf is a fast-growing innovator in the nanotechnology market. We develop, manufacture and market state-of-the-art scanning probe microscopes for imaging and manipulation of surfaces at the nanometer range. We work at the limit of what is physically possible and develop all the mechanical, electronic, optical and software components necessary for best-in-class instruments.
As part of our company's growth and in response to market demands, we are expanding our 'Industrial Solutions' department. This team develops and produces high precision positioning systems for a variety of sizes, supporting a wide range of measurement technologies such as AFM, interferometry, optical microscopes and more.
We are looking for a System Engineer to support our teams in the development of highly complex measurement machines.
As a System Engineer you will be part of the team in charge of the development of these projects and handle all activities in order to deliver them according to customer requirements and contractual delivery dates.
Our future System Engineer will be located in our Swiss location in Liestal. We look forward to seeing your application!
