NANYTE Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-based deep-tech company that designs and manufactures precision instruments for the semiconductor, photonics, and advanced-manufacturing world. Our flagship product, NANYTE BEAM, is a compact maskless lithography system — think of it as a desktop-scale machine that "prints" microscopic patterns down to sub-micron features, used by universities, national labs, and R&D teams in over 50 locations worldwide. Alongside BEAM we build lens printers, magneto-optical microscopes, and industrial autofocus modules.
We are a small, hands-on engineering team where interns work directly with the founder and senior engineers — not fetch coffee. If you like taking machines apart, understanding how they tick, and building things that actually get shipped to customers, you'll fit right in.
Industry: Precision instruments / semiconductor equipment
Location: 126 Joo Seng Rd. Moving to a new premise at 1 MacTaggart Road in Q3.

We're looking for a hands-on Process Engineering Intern to help us turn how we build our machines into repeatable, documented, quality-controlled processes — and to run experiments on our own lithography tools to characterize and improve what they can do.
What you'll do:
- Develop and document assembly, alignment, and calibration procedures (SOPs) for our precision instruments — turning "how the senior engineer does it" into a process anyone on the team can follow.
- Run process characterization experiments on our BEAM lithography systems — resist coating, exposure dose, development, and pattern-transfer steps — and analyze the results.
- Measure and inspect output (feature size, resolution, uniformity, defects) using microscopy and metrology tools, and turn the data into actionable findings.
- Track down sources of process variation and defects, and propose fixes to improve yield, repeatability, and throughput.
- Support production: build/QC checklists, acceptance testing, and root-cause analysis when a unit doesn't meet spec.
- Feed what you learn back to the design team (design-for-manufacturability / design-for-assembly).
What we're looking for:
- Currently pursuing a diploma or degree in Process / Chemical / Materials / Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.
- Enjoys hands-on lab and cleanroom-style work, and cares about doing things precisely and repeatably.
- Comfortable with data — recording experiments carefully, spreadsheets/basic stats, and drawing conclusions from measurements.
- Exposure to any of the following is a plus (none are must-haves): photolithography, thin films, microscopy/metrology, resist processing, semiconductor/MEMS fabrication, or optics.
- Methodical, curious, and self-driven — the kind of person who wants to know why a process drifted, not just that it did.
What you'll get:
- Real ownership of a process from experiment to documented, production-ready procedure.
- Hands-on time on commercial semiconductor lithography equipment — rare exposure for an undergrad.
- Direct mentorship from practicing engineers building precision instruments end-to-end.
