Careers

Build AFMs fast enough for the fab.

We’re a small team of mechanical, electrical and software engineers, building instruments that have to work at the nanometre scale inside a fab.

The work

Why Pivector

  • What you’d work on

    Nanometre motion, low-noise sensing, synchronized control and fab integration, all in one instrument.

  • Hardware in the lab

    Our prototype is scanning wafers now. What you design this month runs on it next month.

  • One of the first engineers

    You’d have a real say in the architecture and in how the team works.
