Join our colleagues in bringing our mission to life every day to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. We offer our global teams the resources needed to achieve individual career goals while helping advance science to tackle some of the world's toughest challenges-such as protecting the environment, ensuring food safety, and helping find cures for cancer. Join a team where your work truly makes a difference., At our Eindhoven site, we develop and build advanced Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). As a Test Engineer, you take ownership of testing and aligning these complex systems using technical documentation and procedures within a controlled cleanroom environment. Your key responsibility is to assemble and configure systems by integrating TEM modules into cabinets, followed by alignment, calibration, and performance verification to ensure each microscope meets strict quality standards before shipment. The role is hands-on and varied, including tasks such as handling samples, working with liquid nitrogen, and generating high-resolution images at atomic level. You identify and resolve issues, document results, and collaborate closely with colleagues across production and engineering. You will join a close-knit team working on different product lines (Metrios, Spectra, Krios, Baseline). Building and testing a system can take several months, and you play a key role in delivering reliable, high-precision equipment to customers., We offer a challenging role within an ambitious, technically advanced, and informal organization. You will work in a dynamic environment where you can make a real impact, with plenty of opportunities to grow: whether by advancing into roles such as Lead Test Technician or Troubleshooter, or by exploring opportunities across departments like Engineering or R&D. ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [WebAssembly Revolution: Elevating JavaScript's Reach and Performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1149-webassembly-revolution-elevating-javascript-s-reach-and-performance) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
