• Careful, detail oriented observer
• Fond of learning and responds well to feedback

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Associate's degree in a physical science.
• Experience with sample preparation, instrumentation, and imaging for some of the following techniques: Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM), FIB-SEM cross sectioning, Electron Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS/EDX), sample cleaving and Cross Section SEM (XSEM).
• Willingness to work a late shift as described above.

Preferred Qualifications

• 1+ years of experience operating dual beam FIB/SEM tools for the preparation of lamella for STEM or TEM imaging.
• Familiarity with AutoTEM or iFast.
