About the role

For over 50 years, our innovative solutions have developed and manufactured machines for electronics and display manufacturing. We continue to grow within an expanding range of industries, and the Pattern Generator (PG) division holds a unique position in the market as the world's leading supplier of laser-based mask writers for photomask manufacturing, which, in turn, are used to produce high-resolution displays and semiconductors. For any high-resolution display produced in larger volumes that you see, whether it is a TV, phone, tablet, or smartwatch, Mycronic’s machines are a critical part of the manufacturing process. Our product portfolio also includes inspection machines that help ensure the quality of the photomasks used in display and semiconductors manufacturing.

In this role, you will be part of our R&D team Metrology and Process Control Group (PMCD), which currently consists of 12 team members working within pattern design, metrology, cleanliness, and data analysis.
