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 product and technology development role for JEOL's Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) instruments, which analyse elements and chemical bonding states at material surfaces. Customers are mainly semiconductor, electronic-component, battery and materials makers using them for failure analysis and R&D.
The engineer sets specifications, directs design, and evaluates and verifies the performance of new AES and XPS products, and develops core technologies in the electron optics, detection, vacuum and control systems. The role also works with production, service and sales to bring products to market. The first year is spent learning the instruments by disassembling and reassembling them; by the third year the person leads small and mid-sized developments.
Required: a bachelor's degree or above in physics or chemistry with corresponding physics knowledge, and experience using scientific instruments. Surface-analysis work experience is not required.
