About The Position

INFICON is a leading provider of innovative measurement instruments, critical sensor technologies, and software solutions for smart manufacturing/Industry 4.0 that improve the productivity and quality of tools, processes, and entire factories. These analysis, measurement, and control products are essential for detecting gas leaks in HVAC and automotive manufacturing. They are critical for equipment manufacturers and end users in the complex production of semiconductors and thin-film coatings for optics, flat-panel displays, solar cells, and industrial vacuum coating applications. Other users of our vacuum-based processes include the life sciences, research, aerospace, the packaging industry, heat treatment, laser cutting, and many other industrial processes. We also leverage our expertise in vacuum technology to offer unique products for the analysis of toxic chemicals in the fields of disaster response, security, and environmental health and safety.
