Software Development Careers
Peak Metrology in a nutshell
We are an equipment manufacturer that focuses on precision measurement machinery. This equipment is geared towards measurement processes on the micro-scale. In other words, what we do cannot be seen by human eye, but shows up vividly when our tools are in action.
We were born within a larger 500+ person motion control and automation company, Aerotech Inc. Some of our employees are from Aerotech originally, bringing 40 years of equipment experience, and others were hired from the surrounding industry to form a well rounded team. Although, to an external eye we are a young company, we have been perfecting our business for many years, and are quite stable for our age.
We strive to be a progressive company. Especially for the manufacturing space. You will find personal flexibility and balance in working with us. Especially when it comes to remote work, time off, and daily working hours.
