Job Description

Systems Design Engineer

The Physics and Electron Optics group is one of the competence groups, part of TEM Solutions within the Research and Development organization for Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). We are committed to the development and validation of groundbreaking technologies, hardware modules, and automation solutions that enable us to deliver outstanding TEM!

With the ongoing developments in physics and industry, the requirements for the optical performance of these TEM microscopes are continuously growing. Aligning well with the Business Units, the Advanced Technology group, and several collaborating partners, this group is seeking to convert the most promising technological concepts into real products for creating and guiding electron beams for imaging with the near-perfect optical performance.

Team:

The team has offices in Brno and Eindhoven. This job opening is based in the Eindhoven offices. The team members are very proud of their contributions to providing solutions for our customers that enable them to make our world cleaner, healthier and safer. The growing demand for developing specific electron optical solutions has opened an exciting position for a dedicated Scientist with experience in physics in general, and with Electron Optics in particular.

Position:

• Supporting a multi-disciplinary team in the development of automation solutions for new TEM electron-optical modules
• Defining implementation of automation design choices based on the requirements and specifications as set by the team of system & module architects.
• Defining new electron optical modes, prototyping and implementation
• Hands-on data measurement and evaluation to characterize microscope behavior incl. creation of basic mathematical/physical models
• Validation of the module specifications, including data analysis, solving and reporting
• Working together with the Manufacturing and Service departments to support the introduction of the newly developed modules into production

Qualifications:

• Master's degree (or PhD) in a technical field, preferably: Physics, Particle optics, Mathematical or Physical Engineering.
• Basic programming/scripting knowledge in Python, willing to expand this knowledge
• Passion, tenacity, and a sense of seeing difficult tasks brought to completion in high quality
• Logical and analytical thinking
• Knowledge of optics or particle optics is advantageous
• Experience with operating an electron microscope is desirable, e.g. corrector alignments
• Experience with FEM such as EOD, Opera, Comsol, etc. is highly desirable
• Disposition for occasional business travels (less than 30% of the time) to e.g. customers, conferences, summer schools, etc. are required to ensure excellent connectivity to the true TEM customer value.
• You are proficient in English
• Sense of humor, teamwork, and independence after being trained

Personal:

Diversity in the teams is an important element to build an effective and challenging working environment. Integrity, Intensity, Innovation and Involvement are key characteristics that we expect of all that are part of our community.
