Careers

Join FemtoTools, an innovative Swiss high-tech company at the forefront of nanotechnology.

Colleagues collaborating in an office with a focus on high-tech innovation and development.
Colleagues collaborating in an office with a focus on high-tech innovation and development.
Young professional working at a computer, in a high-tech nanotechnology company.

Specializing in the development and sale of high-resolution, MEMS-based nanoindenters, we cater to a diverse range of applications in metallurgy, thin films, and microsystem technology. Unlike traditional nanoindentation systems, which rely on precision machined components, our approach utilizes advanced semiconductor fabrication technology to create force sensors from single crystalline silicon wafers. This not only ensures superior fabrication tolerances but also enhances performance in terms of sensitivity, resolution, and repeatability, surpassing conventional technology limitations. The compact size of our sensing elements drastically reduces their weight, significantly increasing the resonance frequency. This unique attribute enables us to measure rapid events and conduct fatigue or cyclic tests at elevated frequencies. At FemtoTools, we're redefining the boundaries of nanomechanical testing. Join us in shaping the future of nanotechnology.
