Systems Engineering

If you’re interested in developing complex systems based on cutting-edge technologies, you won’t find better career opportunities anywhere. As a systems engineer at FEI, you’ll work in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary team to ensure our imaging products take full advantage of the latest technology breakthroughs and deliver industry-leading capabilities to some of the world’s most successful research organizations and corporations. 

You’ll be involved in all aspects of product design, from initial concept to final product release and beyond. Our instruments need to balance the ultra-high performance needed by researchers with the robust and reliable toolsets needed by our industrial customers. This creates complex design challenges and you’ll collaborate closely with scientists and engineers (software, mechanical, electronic, etc.) to find solutions. You’ll also help to identify opportunities for reuse and optimization across our complete product portfolio. 

You’ll develop expertise in many fields, including charged particle optics, high vacuum technologies, high precision motion systems, ultra-reliable control systems and a wide range of research and industrial applications. You’ll work with others in the Systems Engineering group to innovate, design, integrate, test, develop and validate new solutions, and to provide training and documentation to ensure that each customer not only gets the advanced capabilities they need, but can also use our systems effectively and efficiently to achieve their goals. 

In addition to creating requirement specifications and doing systems design, our organization is responsible for documentation, archiving, system integration and testing. We focus on the complete system and work with application experts to achieve images with the highest possible resolution. 

Success will be measured by your ability to help your team develop technically advanced systems that deliver unique capabilities and provide excellent return on investment, both for us and for our customers. We have a need for creative minds that give us a competitive edge in new product design while also ensuring quality and value through rigorous testing and evaluation.
