Description
At Nearfield Instruments we're looking for a System Architect to join our team.
About the job
Nearfield Instruments develops and builds revolutionary 3D metrology systems. As a System Architect, you will take technical ownership of one or more critical subsystems within our complex machines. Bridging the gap between system-level requirements and engineering execution, you will translate performance ambitions into concrete designs and ensure they are delivered to the highest standard. Your work will directly influence the performance of our products and help accelerate the next generation of semiconductor technology.
What you’re going to do
You will be technically responsible for a subsystem from the first concept to volume production and service. Working across mechatronics, mechanics, electronics, software and control, you will cover all aspects to meet demanding performance requirements.
Your main responsibilities include:
Translating system-level requirements into subsystem concepts, functional architecture and engineering specifications.
Taking technical ownership of subsystem development projects and aligning all disciplines and stakeholders.
Making architectural decisions on sensing, actuation, motion design, control strategy and integration approach.
Shaping the subsystem roadmap in line with company and customer needs
Leading trade-offs between performance, cost, manufacturability, reliability and serviceability.
Providing context and guidance to engineers and reviewing designs, simulations and integration plans.
Supporting industrialisation, validation and release into manufacturing and field use.
Collaborating with system architects, project managers and lead engineers to ensure technical excellence and on-time delivery.
Who you’ll be working with
You will join our high-impact, internationally diverse Mechatronics team and collaborate closely with colleagues in System Engineering, Electronics, Software, Control and Mechanics. Together, we design and realise machines that push the boundaries of semiconductor metrology. We share knowledge in an open environment, encourage autonomy, and value technical leadership. Your ideas will have a visible impact on our technology and product performance.
