We are seeking an Applications Engineer (m/f/d) for Integration for quality assurance of advanced laser-based systems.
This hands-on role combines frequent microscope-based inspections, process control, and root-cause analysis in a multidisciplinary environment involving optics, electronics, software, and chemical processes.

Requires ability to work under pressure and good communication skills, collaborate with system integrators and production teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform quality inspections and analysis during system integration and build stages, including intensive microscope-based work.

• Support and manage chemical laboratory processes, including working with different machines and hazardous materials in compliance with safety regulations.

• Analyze test results, identify trends, and support root-cause analysis of process and system issues.

• Assist in troubleshooting issues related to optics, electronics, software, and hardware, as they impact system performance and quality.

• Collaborate closely with machine integrators, process engineers, and production teams to stabilize processes and improve yield.

• Follow and help improve build procedures, quality standards, and safety protocols, particularly for laser-based systems.

• Document test results, deviations, corrective actions, and process observations according to quality requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Practical Engineer / Technician in Chemistry, Mechanics, Electronics, or a related technical field.

• 1-2 years of hands-on experience in a production, lab, or manufacturing environment (quality, process, or test-related).

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured, methodical approach.

• Ability to work under pressure in a dynamic production and integration environment.

• Good communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with different engineering disciplines.

• Basic working proficiency in English (documentation and communication).

Preferred Experience (Would be an advantage)

• Experience working with multidisciplinary systems, production tools, or semiconductor-related equipment.

• Previous exposure to cleanroom, ISO-regulated, or safety-critical environments.

• Familiarity with laboratory safety, chemical handling, or optical inspection techniques.

• minimum of 4 - 6 years of related experience
