Bruker is enabling scientists and engineers to make breakthrough post-genomic discoveries and develop new applications that improve the quality of human life. Bruker’s high performance scientific instruments and high value analytical and diagnostic solutions enable scientists to explore life and materials at molecular, cellular, and microscopic levels. In close cooperation with our customers, Bruker is enabling innovation, improved productivity, and customer success in post-genomic life science molecular and cell biology research, in applied and biopharma applications, in microscopy and nanoanalysis, as well as in industrial and cleantech research, and next-gen semiconductor metrology in support of AI. Bruker offers differentiated, high-value life science and diagnostics systems and solutions in preclinical imaging, clinical phenomics research, proteomics and multiomics, spatial and single-cell biology, functional structural and condensate biology, as well as in clinical microbiology and molecular diagnostics.
Bruker currently has an opening for a test field scientist to optically align, test, and improve complete electron microscope systems. This position will primarily be responsible for aligning electron optics, identifying areas of improvement for electron optics, documenting electron optical procedures, ensuring that microscopes in production meet performance specifications, troubleshooting optical and mechanical elements in the full system, and (mostly remotely) servicing electron microscopes at customer sites. The position will also interface with the UK software development team working on streamlining bring-up activities.
The role will be principally based in Sheffield, UK. During the first two years of employment, it is expected that the successful candidate will spend extended periods of time at Bruker’s Kirkland, Seattle, office to receive detailed training. It is likely that time will be split roughly 50/50 between the UK and Seattle during this period.
