Key Responsibilities
Simulate electron-beam columns and electron-optical components using tools such as Opera, CST, COMSOL, Ansys and custom Python code.
Analyze and optimize electron-optical performance, using a strong theoretical understanding to identify key physical mechanisms and design parameters.
Improve system performance through geometrical, electrical and conceptual design modifications.
Model MEMS physics and process-dependent behavior, including electrostatic and electromechanical effects.
Perform coupled analysis of electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and acoustic behavior, including EMI and system sensitivity.
Perform tolerance, sensitivity and process-window analysis to understand design robustness and the impact of manufacturing variations.
Support design for manufacturability (DfM) by translating simulation results into practical design requirements and tolerances.
Develop Python-based simulation, analysis and optimization tools and correlate models with experimental results.
Present complex simulation results as clear conclusions and design recommendations to specialists and broader technical audiences.
Qualifications & Skills
Degree in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or a related field.
Strong foundation in electron optics, charged-particle physics, electromagnetics or related physics.
Experience with numerical simulation and physical modeling.
Good Python programming skills for scientific computing, simulation and data analysis.
Experience with one or more relevant simulation tools such as Opera, CST, COMSOL or Ansys.
Knowledge of MEMS, electromechanical, thermal or acoustic physics is an advantage.
Strong analytical thinking and the ability to connect theory, simulation and practical engineering decisions.
Ability to communicate complex technical results clearly and systematically.
Professional working proficiency in English.
