Job description

About Nearfield Instruments

Nearfield Instruments (NFI) is a fast-growing high-tech scale-up that designs, develops, integrates, markets, and services advanced semiconductor metrology solutions. Our instruments enable the world’s leading chipmakers to improve production yield and device performance—powering smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient electronics.

Founded in 2016, Nearfield brings together top scientific and engineering talent to deliver a unique, high-throughput Scanning Probe Microscopy platform for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing.

As we continue to expand globally, Japan is a key strategic market with strong opportunities for long-term business growth and partnership development.

The Role

As Business Development Manager Japan, you will support Nearfield’s commercial development in Japan and contribute to building our market presence.

This is a remote, Japan-based role with a strong customer-facing component, where success depends on your ability to build effective working relationships with key stakeholders within semiconductor manufacturing organizations.

While the role requires independence and ownership, it operates in close collaboration with global teams and experienced commercial leaders. You will act as an important interface between Japanese customers and Nearfield’s organization, helping align customer needs with our solutions and roadmap.

Frequent travel to key semiconductor hubs, including Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Chitose, and other customer locations across Japan.
