Chemical Quality & Laboratory Engineer (m/f/d)

Are you ready to design, build, and run a state-of-the-art analytical chemistry laboratory from the ground up? As a Chemical Quality & Laboratory Engineer (m/f/d) at ESMC, you will be key to establishing our chemical laboratory infrastructure in Dresden.

Starting on January 2027, you will manage our analytical instruments, set up testing standards, and verify the quality of incoming materials and facility chemical systems.

Collaborating closely with our advanced teams in Taiwan and leading a small group of local technicians, you will directly safeguard the production quality of Europe's newest premier semiconductor fab!

Must-Have:

• 1. Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, or a related scientific discipline.
• 2. Technical Experience: 0 to 3 years of hands‑on experience in chemical analysis, with deep knowledge of analytical techniques such as ICP-MS, GC-MS, PTR-MS, or Ion Chromatography (IC).
• 3. Analytical Skillset: Experience in standard sample preparation, calibration curves, statistical process control (SPC) data interpretation, and analytical instrument troubleshooting.
• 4. Soft Skills: Strong collaborative mindset, intercultural openness, resilience under pressure, and a structured, detail-oriented approach to safety and quality.
• 5. Languages: Fluency in English (written and spoken) is required.

Nice-to-Have:

• 1. Prior experience in a semiconductor manufacturing environment or cleanroom chemical lab management.
• 2. Knowledge of European chemical regulations (such as REACH) and safety standards.
• 3. Basic programming skills (e.g., Python, R, or SQL) for analytical data processing.
• 4. Basic communication skills in German and/or Mandarin.

Why Join ESMC?

• 1. Help build a completely new semiconductor manufacturing site in Europe.
• 2. Work in a highly international environment with colleagues across Europe, Taiwan and the US.
• 3. Shape processes instead of maintaining existing structures.
• 4. Participate in global projects and cross-functional collaboration.
• 5. International onboarding including approximately 9-12 months of training in Taiwan.
