Hear From Our People
In 2001, I started as a production engineer working with laser systems. I then accepted responsibility for the site’s quality management. I now lead our growing cleanroom production team of 20 engineers and technicians, who are building our Explorer® Laser series. MKS has given me the opportunity and support to grow, and I now serve as a coach for our new production team. I'm able to lead with my personal value of respect for the individual and enjoy actively supporting the growth of those around me. I'm happy to be among peers who contribute their own perspectives and broaden my horizons.Oliver K.
I see MKS as a learning organization that welcomes every employee to shape MKS. As a global company, MKS accepts the mission of building cross functional, diverse, and multicultural teams that provide cutting edge technology for solving the world’s most challenging problems.

I have witnessed the progress of MKS for 13 years. The cross-region communication enables me to develop multidimensional thought. MKS’ DE&I culture keeps me motivated, as they have enhanced my work-life balance and brought equal opportunities to female engineers.Aimin S.
Manufacturing Engineering Manager,

I joined MKS as a Project Manager in the Laser R&D Product Development team (Spectra-Physics) and recently become an Engineering Manager within the Advanced Technology Development group. The opportunity to learn and grow my leadership skills, while staying true to my technical background is what initially drew me to MKS. My time here is a testimonial to those values and MKS's ability to uphold them. I take pride in being part of a company that prioritizes DEI initiatives and actively develops talent. MKS goes beyond mere statements and banners; it translates its vision into meaningful actions.Shalaka D., PhD
