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
A technology development role in the team that builds the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detectors fitted to JEOL's SEM and TEM electron microscopes. The team concentrates on particle analysis and automated analysis, with growing demand from materials, semiconductor, life-science customers, and is also developing automated analysis functions that use AI and machine learning.
The engineer handles planning and application development for EDS products, for the MLA mineral liberation analysis system (which combines SEM, EDS and dedicated software to characterise ore particles), and for EDS-based automated analysis equipment, and evaluates whether the resulting functions meet requirements. The development environment uses C#, WPF, Python and C++ on Windows with Visual Studio, .NET, Redmine and GitHub, although writing code is not the main part of the job.
Required: university-level foundations in a science or engineering field, and experience in technology or system development at a manufacturer.
