Job Description
Applications Development Scientist Transmission Electron Microscopes
Our Mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. As one team of 100,000+ colleagues, we share a common set of values - Integrity, Intensity, Innovation, and Involvement - working together to accelerate research, solve complex scientific challenges, drive technological innovation, and support patients in need.
Innovative materials play essential roles in safety, clean energy, transportation, human health, and industrial productivity. To fuel continued innovation, researchers want to deepen their understanding of the physical and chemical properties of materials (morphological, structural, magnetic, thermal, and mechanical). Whether discovering new materials, solving analytical problems, improving processes, or assuring product quality, electron microscopy can provide insight at all scales and modalities. The discoveries resulting from materials science research help enhance researchers' ability to successfully correlate structural properties with functional performance. In turn, this insight helps commercial enterprises innovate products and processes to gain important time-to-market and cost advantages.
