As a Test Technician at AAE in Helmond, you ensure that high-tech products meet all quality requirements before they are delivered to the customer. Working in the cleanroom of our Ultra Conditioned Precision Modules (UCPM) business line, you perform functional tests and cleanliness qualifications after assembly. Your work is essential to ensuring the quality and reliability of our precision technology.

Pushing technical boundaries

At AAE, we develop technology that makes the world a little better. Together with around 600 colleagues, we push the boundaries of technology every day.

Within our Ultra Conditioned Precision Modules (UCPM) business line, we develop and manufacture extremely precise modules for industries including semiconductor and life sciences. These products must meet exceptionally high standards for precision, cleanliness, and reliability.

As a Test Technician, you work in our UCPM cleanroom, testing a highly advanced product for a leading technology company in the region, for which AAE is the sole supplier. You make sure the product only moves on to the customer once all tests have been successfully completed.

What will your role be?

As a Test Technician, you are responsible for performing, evaluating, and documenting the final tests after assembly. You carry out these tests in our cleanroom, following strict cleanliness and quality requirements.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Performing functional tests to verify that products operate according to the required specifications.
• Performing cleanliness qualifications using extremely clean, dry air.
• Performing cleanliness qualifications using ultrapure water.
