Health-care equipment, autonomous cars and smartphones are just some of the applications that fuel the global demand for semiconductors to produce chips. Semiconductor manufacturers are scrambling to increase production and at the same time meet the need for innovation. As a junior scientist at TNO in Delft you will work with the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers to help deal with their challenges. You will contribute to accelerating innovations related to ultra-clean lithography and ever greater miniaturization. Envision it and join our Nano Instrumentation group!

What will be your role?

Within TNO we engage with clients on their business needs, which we convert into proposals and projects geared to pragmatic research solutions. TNO has played a major role in the transformation from deep ultraviolet to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. And, similarly, your projects may also contribute to entirely new concepts and technologies. As a junior scientist you will have an experimental or theoretical/modelling facing role within such projects. Depending on your interests and experience, you may also contribute to other research domains involving plasma technology, such as decarbonization of the gas grid, or programmes at European level.

TNO’s Nano Instrumentation expertise group (part of the Unit Industry) at the Van Leeuwenhoek Laboratory in Delft is your home base. Our state-of-the-art research facilities, including ultra-clean vacuum equipment, EUV exposure facilities and XPS surface analysis systems, are at your disposal.
Coming from all over the world, your 50+ colleagues are highly-motivated scientists, experimentalists and project managers, who share a drive to develop innovative plasma and nano technology applications. We offer a highly supportive and caring environment, stimulate knowledge-sharing and welcome your ideals. At Van Leeuwenhoek Laboratory you’ll find a friendly, open and highly professional atmosphere.

How do you want to contribute to tomorrow's world? How big can your impact be? Come and work at TNO and envision it.

What we expect from you

You thrive on working at applied research. Whether this is a more fundamental theoretical approach in modelling where you want to reveal the fundamental process drivers, or a pragmatic experimental approach to accelerate practical solutions, you are eager to dive into it. You like to keep learning and developing yourself, in combination with working together with colleagues towards scientific goals.

Other knowledge and skills you bring to TNO:
  • A PhD or Master’s Degree in Physics or similar discipline.
  • Accuracy, flexibility and resilience.
  • Eager to learn new things.
  • A drive to get things done.
  • Excellent in reporting both in in writing and verbally.
  • Excellent command of English, as you will be working in international teams.
  • A team player and you have good interpersonal skills, which you can apply when interacting with team members and clients.

What you’ll get in return

Challenging and varied work with a real impact. And plenty of opportunities as, at TNO, you are in charge of shaping your career. We offer a gross monthly salary between € 3,000 and € 3,800 (based on your knowledge and experience), 8% holiday pay, a 13th month bonus of 8.33% and a flex budget (5.58% + € 180). In addition, you will be given every opportunity to develop yourself.

Perhaps you would like to grow your career in the direction of commerce or consultancy? Or would you like to become a project manager? Immerse yourself in sustainable innovations? Or carve out a career as a technical expert?

TNO offers optional employee benefits, enabling you to tailor your benefits package to match your personal situation. You may also expect:
  • An extremely professional, innovative working environment where colleagues are leading experts in their field.
  • The opportunity to attend courses, workshops and conferences, and to receive training and coaching based on your needs.
  • 33 days annual leave on a full-time basis.
  • An employer that values and encourages diverse talent, with initiatives like the Female Leadership Program, our Rainbow Community and round tables on inclusion topics.
  • Travel allowance.
