• Automate and program tools for scaling up fabrication and evaluating device performance
• Work on innovative research projects that involve instrumentation, experiment design and R&D

• Background in mechanical or electrical engineering, physics, material science or equivalent
• Experience in conception of optical, mechanical and electrical systems and advanced microfabrication processes
• Ability to code, debug and create programs in-house using Python
• Experience in electron and optical microscopy methods and image analysis
• Used to navigate innovative R&D projects involving development and use of sophisticated instrumentation
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Comfortable working in a close-knit, multidisciplinary team with fast-paced and dynamic projects
• Skills and attitude necessary to help grow the company into a leading sensor manufacturer

• Self‑motivated and detail‑oriented with excellent problem solving skills
• Good data collection, analysis, and presentation skills
• Proven track record with scanning probe instrumentation in liquids
• Knowledge about electrochemistry and nanoscale characterization methods
• Familiarity working in a cleanroom microfabrication setting
• Experience in market and business development

Work will be performed at state‑of‑the‑art research and manufacturing facilities. You will be in extensive contact with a highly motivated group of international scientists and R&D professionals. Self‑motivated candidates with the ability to work in a dynamic start‑up environment are given priority.
