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 in the magnetic field countermeasures group of JEOL's advanced environment technology centre. Electron microscopes and other high-resolution instruments are sensitive to their magnetic environment, and this small team of three handles magnetic field canceller systems from arrangement to shipment and on-site delivery for customers in Japan and overseas.
The work covers design and development of the canceller system itself; layout design and placement for each site based on environmental measurements (usually taken by the sales-support group, occasionally by this role); arranging parts and preparing shipments; and adjusting the magnetic environment at installation until the instrument performs stably. Specialist magnetics knowledge is taught after joining, starting with lower-resolution instruments.
Required: comfort with on-site measurement and adjustment work, basic PC skills such as Excel, willingness to travel in Japan and overseas, and experience in one of field service engineering, environmental measurement or automotive maintenance.
