Job Description

Introduction, the World needs answers

If you want to help accelerate discoveries that change our world for the better, look no further. We are looking for motivated and inspired professionals with experience to strengthen our R&D software organization. We are devoted to bringing leading technologies to different markets with high quality products and services. There’s an enormous variety of applications of our tools for our customers! From research to create better medicines and finding a cure for cancer, to examining how the structure of wafers are build up and how the paint of a sport car can be improved! It's just a small grip out of these varieties. Do you know that this application SW was used in the groundbreaking Cryo Electron Microscopy characterization of the COVID19 virus? This helped boost vaccine development in our global battle against this pandemic.

The Global Digital Group

As part of the R&D organization, The Global Digital group is committed to bring value-adding and groundbreaking software solutions to our customers that help them with their success. Global Digital covers all software created in the MSD-EM related sites, globally over the world. Main R&D sites can be found in Eindhoven (the Netherlands), Bordeaux (France), Hillsboro (US), Brno (Czech). The Global Digital group is responsible for the complete software stack, from FPGA to embedded and application software.

How you will make an impact?

Transmission electronic microscopes are the most sophisticated laboratory instruments that are used today. Software applications are critical into exploiting all the potential of these microscopes, pushing the limits of current physical technologies. These applications are used by scientists and engineers in life science, material sciences and semiconductor industry, indirectly affecting our life in many aspects. By contributing into these applications, you might help developing better vaccines, new lighter and stronger materials, or more efficient semiconductors. Examples are automated tomography, single particle acquisition, and our semiconductors automated metrology/measurements at nanometer scale.
