Electron Microscopist

The Group You’ll Be A Part Of

In the SEM Lab, we serve as the eyes for Lam’s process development teams. Our objective is high volume metrology data generation, with rapid turn around times to facilitate more experimental iterations and a faster time to solution.

The Impact You’ll Make

Your work will generate critical data for Lam’s process development, and is essential for demonstrating Lam’s product to the customer. You will need to be proficient in analytical techniques centered around Focused Ion Beam – Scanning Electron Microscopes. Mastering these tools will require an understanding of the science of their operation, as well as a thoughtful and open minded approach that can yield innovations in their operation.

What You’ll Do

• Operate Thermo Fisher Helios FIB/SEM tools in preparation of cross section lamellae. Perform STEM imaging of prepared samples.
• Ensure security of customer IP through careful sample handling
• Work with other metrology technicians to learn best skills and iterate upon your imaging processes.

Who We’re Looking For

• Candidates interested in the field of electron microscopy as a career.
• Understanding of relevant physics – electromagnetics, kinetics
• Sees task repetition as an opportunity to iterate and innovate better methods
• Careful, detail oriented observer
• Fond of learning and responds well to feedback

Preferred Qualifications

• A BS degree in a physical science, a specialized AS degree or equivalent professional training on materials science and analytical techniques preferred.
• Experience operating dual beam FIB/SEM tools, especially in the preparation of thin lamella for STEM or TEM imaging.
• Experience working in a laboratory setting

Our Commitment

We believe it is important for every person to feel valued, included, and empowered to achieve their full potential. By bringing unique individuals and viewpoints together, we achieve extraordinary results.
