Job Description:

Shape the future of semiconductor tools at the forefront of innovation and engineering excellence.

Are you a hands-on, technically minded engineer with deep experience in semiconductor environments? Do you thrive in lean, cross-functional teams and want to play a pivotal role in product strategy and development?

We’re looking for a Project/Equipment Engineer to join a leader in cutting-edge PVD and CVD system innovation, based in Scotland.

You’ll be joining an agile team at a key stage in its transformation — evolving from a refurbishment business into a global OEM with a cutting-edge product portfolio. This role is central to driving the next generation of tools, shaping the product roadmap, and ensuring engineering excellence across design, development, and delivery.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Product Leadership – Own and drive the development roadmap for deposition systems (PVD/CVD).
• Hands-On Engineering – Lead and contribute to detailed design work across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
• Project Management – Coordinate cross-functional teams and oversee product development projects and improvements.
• Strategic Collaboration – Align engineering direction with global stakeholders and market demands.
• Documentation & Standards – Maintain high-quality engineering documentation and champion continuous improvement.

What You Bring:

• Strong experience in the semiconductor industry, particularly with PVD/CVD systems.
• Solid understanding of CAD, mechanical/electrical design, and vacuum/control systems.
• A pragmatic, hands-on approach with a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
• Comfortable working in lean, agile teams — with ownership, initiative, and adaptability.
• Strong collaboration skills with the ability to engage global teams and communicate technical detail clearly.
• Relevant engineering degree or equivalent practical qualifications.

Why This Role?

• Lead the engineering charge in a fast-evolving OEM environment with global reach.
• Shape and influence next-gen semiconductor tools with real-world impact.
• Work in a high-trust, agile setting, where your ideas and execution truly matter.
• Low travel expectations (~10%) with occasional visits to US sites or customer locations.
• Join a company on an ambitious growth trajectory — and help define its future.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of advanced technology development in a business where innovation, quality, and agility define success.
