Scientist, TEM

Join our Advanced Microscopy team and play a key role in solving complex materials and semiconductor challenges using cutting-edge Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). We are seeking talented Scientists who are passionate about hands-on analysis, advanced characterization techniques, and delivering impactful results for clients across a wide range of industries.
In this production focused role, you'll spend significant time operating state-of-the-art TEM instrumentation, analyzing advanced materials, and providing high-quality, site specific insights that drive critical client decisions. The ideal candidate is a technically strong contributor who thrives in a fast-paced laboratory environment, enjoys working directly with sophisticated tools, and takes pride in delivering accurate, timely results while meeting client expectations.
The TEM Scientist will be responsible for:
Partnering with team members to provide high quality analysis service to clients.
Operating TEM tools to obtain TEM/STEM images, SAED, EDS and EELS data from samples.
Developing TEM analysis protocols/techniques to meet clients’ requests.
Creating summary reports to capture the project objectives, analysis data and interpretation of the results.
A typical day would involve-
Operating the TEM tools (FEI or JEOL electron microscopes) and collecting TEM/STEM images based on customers' requests.
Performing elemental analysis such as EDS/EELS (collecting/process the data and creating the reports).
Engaging in discussions with customers to solve their questions and concerns.
Work Schedule: *5pm-2am, Tuesdays to Saturdays OR Sundays to Thursdays
*Shift differential will apply
Lab locations: Milpitas or Sunnyvale, CA
