Full job description

Systems Support Engineer – Precision Instrumentation

Salary: £40,000–£48,000 DOE
Location: Abingdon, Oxfordshire

Help shape the next generation of semiconductor metrology

We're looking for a systems engineer with a passion for solving complex technical problems.

This is not a traditional support role.

You'll become the technical authority for some of the world's most advanced nanoscale measurement systems, working at the intersection of precision mechanics, optics, electronics, software and semiconductor manufacturing.

Working closely with engineering, manufacturing, customer support and applications teams, you'll investigate challenging system issues, drive root cause analysis and help ensure our customers achieve exceptional performance from our technology.

If you enjoy understanding how entire systems behave rather than focusing on a single discipline, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

Become the hardware escalation expert

Acting as an escalation point for complex hardware and system issues
Supporting customer-facing teams with advanced troubleshooting
Diagnosing problems across mechanical, optical and electronic subsystems
Driving rapid resolution of critical customer issues

Solve challenging system-level problems

Investigating performance issues across highly integrated precision systems
Reproducing and analysing customer-reported faults
Understanding interactions between hardware, software and environmental influences
Working closely with control systems specialists to resolve cross-disciplinary issues

Lead root cause investigations

Performing detailed failure analysis and technical investigations
Identifying corrective and preventative actions
Working with engineering teams to implement design improvements
Driving improvements to system robustness and reliability

Support manufacturing and product development

Working alongside manufacturing and integration teams
Troubleshooting issues during assembly and system test
Supporting new product introduction activities
Contributing to system validation, training and technical documentation

Capture and share technical knowledge

Developing troubleshooting procedures and diagnostic workflows
Creating best-practice documentation
Delivering training to customer support and applications teams
Ensuring lessons learned are translated into improved products and processes

What we're looking for

You'll likely come from a background in:

Precision instrumentation
Semiconductor equipment
Scientific instrumentation
Photonics
Advanced microscopy
Metrology systems
Complex electromechanical equipment

You'll bring experience of:

Diagnosing complex system issues
Precision opto-mechanical assemblies
High-stability instrumentation
Root cause analysis and failure investigation
Working across mechanical, optical, electronic and software domains
Explaining complex technical concepts to diverse audiences
Supporting demanding technical customers
Driving technical problem solving under pressure

Particularly interesting backgrounds

We'd be especially interested in hearing from people with experience in:

Semiconductor metrology
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
Surface metrology
Precision motion systems
Nanopositioning systems
Scientific imaging systems
Advanced microscopy
Photonics and optical instrumentation
Semiconductor process development
Nanoscale measurement technologies

Bonus points if you've worked with

Semiconductor fabs
Wafer handling systems
EFEM modules
Robotics and automation
Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
Advanced metrology platforms
Customer-installed scientific instruments

Education

A degree in Physics, Engineering or a related technical discipline would be beneficial.

However, we're equally interested in engineers who have built their expertise through industry experience, apprenticeships or practical hands-on technical careers.

We believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives, and we're committed to creating an environment where everyone can contribute and grow.
If you need any adjustments during the process, just let us know — we've got you.

Location and work pattern

Based in Abingdon, Oxfordshire (OX14 1RG)
Onsite for the first 3 months
Flexible hybrid working available after probation (where possible)

A note on how we run interviews

We use AI only to transcribe interviews so we can focus fully on you.
It plays no part in decision-making — all hiring decisions are made by people

Right to work

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
This role requires permanent right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is only considered in rare cases.
