Nearfield Instruments (NFI) brings together the most creative minds in science and technology. We develop a revolutionary high throughput Scanning Probe Microscopy system enabling atom-scale resolution 3D metrology at industry-level throughput, based on three pillars:
• Unrivaled measurement speed
• Parallelization capability
• Advanced measurement modes
At NFI, we design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced metrology machines. This enables the world's leading chipmakers to increase production yields, and functionality of their microchips which you find in cars, phones, server farms and other locations. We aim to develop leading-edge metrology systems, to be installed at the customer site, within specifications, on time, with quality exceeding the customer's expectations.
OUR CORE VALUES
• lead, not follow
• open and honest
• empowerment and trust
• passion and determination
• fun and open-minded
• "to boldly go"
What will you be doing?
