Why Join Us
Global Footprint
We are a multinational company with more than 15,000 employees and offices all around the world. We believe that innovation thrives in a diverse environment built on communication, understanding, global culture, skills and knowledge.
How We Do It
We inhabit two worlds: one that’s nanometers in scale and one that’s global. This micro and macro view gives us a unique perspective. We see electrons wave and industries transform. When you put deep science together with optimism, big things happen.
Expertise
Last year we invested 1.32B in R&D. That’s a measure of our commitment to solving the most daunting technical challenges. From our ground-breaking mask inspection tool in 1975 that signaled the dawn of semiconductor process control, to today’s broadband plasma technology that discovers defects at the speed of light, we like to arrive first.
Collaboration
Active collaboration multiplies agile thinking. We put this approach into practice at strategic, technical and operational levels with our partners. Working side-by-side both geographically and intellectually, we maximize discovery and solutions.
Operations
We have a proven ability to go from concept to global marketplace. We invent in-house, make strategic acquisitions and share technology across systems to diversify our perspectives and widen the range of our solutions. Comprehensive service programs keep it all optimized.
