Work Experience

  • CEO / Head of Sales

    2024 - Current

    We leverage our expertise to design and built time-of-flight mass spectrometers (TOF-MS) bringing space technology to Earth. Our instruments are compact, robust in hazardous environments and bring the leading edge to industrial process analyses. Our focus lies on semiconductor manufacturing and the issues of process engineers at end-users (foundries) and OEMs (wafer fab equipment). Our products redefine real-time analysis of gases and enable higher process efficiency with lower scrap rates and therefore better overall yields. As CEO and Head of Sales, I lead a total team of 20 FTE. We have offices in Switzerland, Taiwan and Korea.
