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.
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.

Everything from backend functionality of the software to user interface design will be in your purview. Your software will be user tested by our engineering team before it is deployed to any customers.
Additionally, there is an opportunity for you to work hand-in-hand with our customers. Either remotely or on-site at their facilities if that is something that interests you.
Contribute towards products that impact our daily lives
Ever wonder how your cell phones, computers, and other electronic devices are inspected for manufacturability? Or how medical devices are qualified? We build the machines that measure these types of every day technologies. Our customers are Fortune 500 companies, and helping them solve big challenges drives the entire team at Peak Metrology with a purpose.
