Metrology Systems Engineer, QED Europe

Metrology System Engineer at QED Technologies Europe Location: Delft, Netherlands 

Hours: 32–40 per week 

Education Level: Master’s degree (WO) 

Join QED Technologies Europe and work some of the world’s most precise optical measurement systems. In this role, you combine knowledge of (optical) metrology and calibration methods with a multi-disciplinary system design approach, contributing directly to high-impact applications in semiconductor manufacturing and astronomy. You’ll have the opportunity to shape the next generation of our metrology platforms in close collaboration with our US-based parent company.

What you will do:

As a Metrology System Engineer, you are part of the Systems, Mechatronics & Metrology team within the Development & Engineering department. You work in a multidisciplinary environment where software, physics, and mechatronics come together.

Your key responsibilities:

● Thorough multi-disciplinary understanding of system error sources and their impact on measurement accuracy

● Continuously improve the measurement accuracy of our machines by innovative (self) calibration techniques, both the tooling design and the data-processing software

● Engineer new metrology functionality on existing platforms, based on market needs identified by the sales department

● Collaborate with the system architect on design, error budgeting and analysis of the metrology aspects for new instruments

● For experienced applicants the system architecting aspect for new platform developments will be more dominant

What we offer

At QED Technologies Europe, you’ll work in an international high-tech environment with short communication lines, a collaborative culture, and plenty of room for personal and professional growth.

Your benefits include:

● Salary between €4,200 – €8,800 gross per month (based on experience)

● Annual bonus of 5% (based on company performance)

● Pension scheme according to the Metalektro CAO

● Hybrid working (1–2 days from home)

● Flexible working hours (start between 07:00–09:30)

● Personal development budget tailored to your ambitions

● 1-year contract with the intention of permanent employment

What you bring

You are a pragmatic and structured Metrology System Engineer who enjoys working in a multidisciplinary, hands-on environment. You communicate clearly, collaborate easily, and like to see your work come to life in real machines. Your profile includes:

● Master’s or PhD degree in Precision mechanics or Physics, or a related engineering field

● 3–5 years of experience in precision engineering for Systems Engineer level 1, and 5-10 years experience for level 2

● Creative teamplayer, capable of defining and communicating requirements and interfaces

● Hands-on experience with setting up and executing measurements

● Understanding of precision engineering design principles, system engineering and architecting and metrology loop design and analysis

● Experience with Matlab and C#, preferably also some 3D CAD (SolidWorks)

● Excellent command of English (spoken and written)
