With the largest investment in R&D in the industry, we give our people the resources and opportunities to make significant contributions to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer.

Division Overview: Thermo Fisher Scientific's Materials & Structural Analysis Division (MSD) supplies innovative solutions for microscopy and microanalysis. We provide SEMs, TEMs, and DualBeam™ FIB-SEMs combined with advanced software suites to take customers from questions to usable data.

Position Summary: The Advanced Technology Group in Hillsboro, Oregon is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Beam Chemistry Scientist to specialize in the use and development of Focused Ion Beam-Scanning Electron Microscopes (FIB-SEM Dual Beam Systems). This role focuses on developing advanced beam chemistry methods and techniques for beam processes, materials analysis, and sample preparation across a variety of fields including semiconductor, materials science, and life sciences. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in research with a focus on beam chemistry, materials characterization methods and Dual Beam system operation.

Responsibilities:

• Innovate and implement novel techniques to enhance the performance and capabilities of FIB-SEM systems.

• Develop innovative chemistry processes for Dual Beam systems, optimizing deposition, etching, delayering and imaging processes.

• Conduct research and development on chemically assisted beam processes and SEM imaging to meet customer-specific requirements.

• Actively participate in developing FIB-SEM sample interactions understanding leading to technology-related patent applications.

• Prepare reports and presentations to communicate findings.

• Provide technical expertise and support to internal and external partners.

Desired Qualifications:

• Master’s degree plus 5 years of proven experience in Chemistry, Material Science, Physics, Solid state physics or a related field. A Ph.D. with research experience preferred.

• Strong understanding of beam-sample interactions and gas-assisted etching and deposition techniques.

• Proven track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals is highly desirable.

• Proficiency in Dual Beam Systems operation is a plus, including imaging, milling, and sample preparation.

• Experience using laboratory equipment, including lasers, imaging setups, spectroscopy, high voltage, vacuum systems, etc. Bonus: Proficiency in optical design, simulation, and characterization of optical systems.

• Proficiency in designing and conducting experiments, as well as analyzing and interpreting data.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving and record keeping skills.

• Hands-on experience with analysis tools (e.g., EDS, EBSD, ….).

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment but also comfortable working independently.

• Experience programming in a scripted or compiled language.

• Ability to lead small-sized projects.
