Why this role exists

Delmic builds electron-microscopy instruments that let researchers and industry see and shape matter at the nanoscale.

We are opening a new front: using a focused electron beam to write material where we want it, electron-beam-induced deposition, or EBID, to fabricate custom, high-precision structures that our customers cannot get made anywhere with the control they need.

We have a funded, dedicated development program with an industrial customer in the semiconductor-inspection space who needs far tighter geometric control and far faster iteration on beam-written probe tips than their current supply chain can deliver.

You would be the engineer who makes that happen: at the microscope, developing the process, and turning what you learn into the specification for the tools we build next.

This is early-stage, real R&D. It has genuine research in it and, like all real research, it can succeed spectacularly or teach us the hard way. We have designed the role so that either way, your work compounds into something bigger. What you'll do

• Run the experimental heart of the program: design test plans, sit at a SEM equipped with a gas injection system (GIS), and develop EBID recipes by fast, structured iteration
• Untangle a genuinely interesting multi-variable problem, dose, dwell, scan strategy, pitch, spot size, beam energy, focus, proximity effects, and figure out which levers actually move geometry
• Characterize failure modes, build a validated baseline, then push past it toward tighter tolerances and a repeatable, documented process
• Translate what you learn into hard requirements for a future dedicated instrument, you help define the tool, not just use it
• Work hands-on with vacuum, beam and scan control, precursors, substrates...
