Physics
Push your knowledge of physics to the limit. As a
physicist at FEI, you'll be collaborating with a team of scientists and
engineers who are continually working at the frontiers of technology in
order to see things no one has seen before.
Physics is at the heart of every system we
develop, so you'll find a wide variety of opportunities, from
fundamental and applied research to product and applications
development. You may decide to specialize in a critical niche area so
you can develop a deep understanding of a specific system, process or
phenomenon. Or you might prefer to become a 'jack-of-all trades' who
brings a broader range of knowledge to bear on our system designs.
The opportunities are many. You could be
working with a diverse team of scientists and engineers to investigate
the fundamental limits of microscopy through theoretical modeling and
empirical observation, advancing our understanding of the interactions
of charged particle beams with solid matter. Or, you could design the
next-generation electron optics column for 'Extreme High Resolution'
imaging or 'Ultra Fast' milling applications, pushing the limits of
detection and sample manipulation in our industry-leading beam based
imaging systems.
No matter how you shape your role at FEI,
you'll be putting your knowledge of physics to the test across multiple
disciplines, including electromagnetic fields, high voltage design,
magnetic shielding, vacuum analysis, material selection, mechanical
design and many others. As the first link in a long chain of
technologists, you'll play a fundamental role in helping our customers
push high-resolution microscopy and nano-manipulation to new limits, so
they can work more effectively at the Nanoscale.
