Job Description

Mission
In our Manufacturing team in Eindhoven, approximately 100 employees work across various production departments. The teams report directly to the group leader/supervisor within the operational production department. Our mission is to deliver systems on time, with excellent product quality, to various customers. This is achieved by following thorough work instructions, procedures, and defined issue resolution processes, all within our high-end cleanroom. We continuously strive to improve performance by actively seeking feedback from both internal and external customers, and through open and direct communication with our suppliers.

Position and Responsibilities
As an assembly technician, you will ensure the building and testing of system modules. Over time, you will also be trained to build the transmission electron microscope (TEM), test modules, and handle additional key responsibilities, such as:

• Dismantling systems and preparing TEM microscopes for shipment
• Installing / de-installing energy filters
• Conducting mechanical installation and de-installation of systems

You will be responsible for identifying and resolving issues related to the dismantling, hardware installation, and de-installation processes at both the module and system levels. This includes working on mechanical and detector components. You will collaborate closely with colleagues, troubleshooters, operations engineering, and R&D teams to ensure smooth and efficient operations. Clear and transparent communication—both written and verbal—is essential, and you will actively participate in daily tiered meetings to drive continuous improvement and problem-solving.

This position is open to candidates with experience in similar roles as well as recent graduates seeking to make their first career move. You must be driven by technical challenges—primarily mechanical but also with some electrical components—and enjoy working in a cleanroom environment. In this role, you will focus on the dismantling of systems, hardware installation and de-installation of detectors, and other mechanical hardware activities as part of the TEM manufacturing process.
