open positions at JEOL
Plan, develop and evaluate applications for energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) on JEOL electron microscopes, including particle analysis, mineral analysis and automated analysis.
Develop X-ray detectors and signal-processing hardware for the EDS analysers fitted to JEOL SEM and TEM electron microscopes: write detector specifications, evaluate prototypes and new analyser algorithms.
Provide second-line technical support for mass spectrometers: train and assist field service engineers in Japan and overseas, troubleshoot hard cases on customer sites and repair failed units.
Develop NMR probes and related cryogenic equipment: run experiments for new products, set specifications, improve existing units, build custom variants for researchers and analyse faults.
Develop JEOL's Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) surface analysis instruments, from specification and design to performance evaluation.
Survey customer sites and plan, design and manage the room construction needed to install JEOL's high-resolution scientific instruments, from layout drawings and quotes to completion.
Design the electrical systems of JEOL mass spectrometers: FPGA and microcontroller digital circuits, analogue, high-voltage, power-supply and temperature-control circuits.
Design circuits, boards and embedded control programs for JEOL's nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, probes and sample changers, from part selection to hands-on verification.
Define specifications and evaluate performance of the stage, vacuum chamber and wafer-handling platform JEOL supplies for multi-beam mask writers used to make EUV photomasks.
Design, deliver and tune magnetic field canceller systems so that electron microscopes and other JEOL instruments reach their rated performance at customer sites in Japan and abroad.
Develop the control and data-analysis software for JEOL mass spectrometers in C#, C++ and Python, from requirements and design through coding, testing and spectral-processing algorithms.
