Examples of the products we work on are metal 3D printers, precision measurement and robotics, industrial metrology tools, optical measurement equipment, and semiconductor lithography machines (wafer steppers).

The work environment is great because we have the informality and flexibility of a small company, but the stability and resources of a big parent in Japan.
