Plan and control production of electron microscopes and mass spectrometers: build schedules from demand forecasts, track progress, manage shipments and keep inventory at the right level.
About this role
An engineering role on JEOL's NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) instruments, focused on the probe, the detector that largely sets an NMR system's performance, and especially on cryogenic probes used in materials development and drug discovery. Customers are mostly researchers, so much of the work is tailoring probes to individual needs.
The engineer interviews customers, works out what the probe can deliver, and takes a product from specification to evaluation with the design department: experiments on new cryogenic equipment, improvements and special-order variants of existing units, and fault analysis with the service team. Tools include vacuum pumps and cryocoolers, VNAs and oscilloscopes, SolidWorks and Inventor, SPICE and Ansys circuit simulation and electromagnetic field simulators.
The one requirement is mechanical or electrical design experience, in any product field; NMR knowledge is learned on the job.
