Design and carry out complex experiments to advance electron-optical technology.
*
Develop and prototype components and subsystems for cutting-edge instruments.
*
Operate within cleanroom and lab environments on ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and surface science systems.
*
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to translate research into commercial innovation.
*
Present your work through reports, publications, and international conferences.
About You
*
MSc or PhD in Physics, Electron Optics, Surface Science, or a closely related field.
*
Proven experience in experimental research and instrumentation development.
*
Strong theoretical grounding in physics and practical skills in mathematical modelling.
*
Hands-on experience with SEM/TEM, UHV systems, or similar instrumentation is highly desirable.
*
Analytical thinker with strong communication and problem-solving abilities.
Why Join
*
Competitive salary with annual reviews and performance bonus.
