Job Description

In Life Sciences R&D / Physics and Electron Optics group in Eindhoven we are looking for a System Design Engineer III with expertise in electron optics to serve our ever-growing transmission electron microscope (TEM). The position will be part of a multidisciplinary research team capable of successfully performing various pathfinding and non-standard orders focused on developing new optical modules and/or enhanced functionality for high end TEM’s.

The successful candidate will pro-actively gain deep knowledge of the High End TEM systems and be able to routinely drive column and corrector alignments.

We seek a hands-on specialist with an innovative mentality for driving activities that will build differentiators for our future electron microscopy products.

Position:

• Work on New Product Introduction (NPI) projects as they transition from concept through release according to development processes.
• Responsible for the defining and performing TEM Optics design, test plans and methods of new and existing TEM platforms and compile results in documents.
• Active role in defining TEM product or process improvements.
• Define and implement test plans and methods of new sophisticated hardware/software components, and compile results in document.
• Provide mentorship during the specification and design phase of new products.
