Application Engineer

We are looking for a motivated Application Engineer to join our team and support our customers in the deployment, use, and optimization of Wooptix metrology tools.

As an Application Engineer, you will act as the technical interface between our customers and internal teams, including R&D, Field Service, and Product Development. You will ensure successful tool integration and high customer satisfaction throughout the product lifecycle including pre-sales work for strategic projects (product applications, demonstrations, technical support of evaluations) as well as 2nd line post-sales and internal support (training, resolving advanced issues, customer meetings).

In addition, you will provide application support by working closely with customers to help them maximize the performance and capabilities of our systems. This role requires a combination of hands-on technical expertise, strong customer engagement, project management skills, and the ability to translate user feedback into product performance improvements.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Ability to travel internationally (up to 30-50%), including Asia, North America, and Europe.
• 5+ years of experience in technical and application support, metrology, device fabrication, or process development within semiconductor R&D or industry.
• Experience in 3D integration, hybrid bonding, wafer-to-wafer bonding, die-to-wafer, die-to-die, or heterogeneous integration, as well as related metrology, is a plus.
• Experience with semiconductor fabs and cleanroom protocols.
• Excellent communication, training, and customer support skills.
• Proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing English is mandatory. Knowledge of Spanish, French, or another language would be a plus.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team.
• Knowledge of wafer processing, process control, or optical inspection.
• Experience in semiconductor metrology, optics, or related fields is a plus.
• Familiarity with software tools (Python, LabView, MATLAB, etc.).
• Wooptix equipments are installed in a cleanroom environment, requiring the continuous use of protective and lightweight clothing and Personal Protective Equipments (e.g., bunny suit, hood, booties, safety glasses, gloves, earplugs or earmuffs, and safety boots).
• Cleanrooms are controlled environments with regulated temperature and humidity and can be extremely noisy. During installation, maintenance, and repair, the Application Engineer may be required to work in awkward or elevated positions to support Field Service Engineer, as well as stoop, bend, or crawl while wearing protective and cleanroom clothing and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This requires excellent physical condition and strict adherence to safety procedures. The application Engineer must have no medical contraindications or restrictions preventing them from working in such conditions.
• Ability to lift and carry objects up to 12 kg, without medical contraindications or restrictions, while wearing protective and cleanroom clothing and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• In critical and exceptional situations involving a customer issue, Application Engineers may be required to work in shifts or during the weekend at the customer site on a voluntary basis, with a special compensation package.
