Careers
Electrical Engineer
We are building the future of nanoscale imaging.
We design, manufacture and sell the world’s fastest and most intuitive atomic force microscopes. Our instruments enable scientists and engineers to make their next discoveries faster and accelerate technological progress. We have systems in over 40 countries.
(What’s AFM? Watch this YouTube short that features our technology: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xKlqsv4nCao)
We revolutionized AFM technology by making them 1,000,000x smaller than traditional instruments and enabling scientists and engineers to collect data 30x faster.
Now we’re using our core technology to build AFMs for the semiconductor industry: delivering nanoscale measurement 10,000x to enable new chip making processes with less waste.
About the role
As Electrical Engineer at icspi, you will work on pushing nanoscale imaging technology to the limit.
We are looking for a resourceful, hands-on engineer to work on the electronics of our unique micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based AFM technology to drive industry-leading performance and capability. You will work on designing, developing, and optimizing electrical components and systems, as well as MEMS drive (controls)/sense, MEMS device characterization.
What you'll do
- Push systems to their performance limits using electronics, software, firmware and MEMS improvements; debug issues; improve reliability
- Gather requirements, design and iterate with mechanical, software and MEMS teams
- Lead end-to-end PCB design, bring-up, testing and integration
- Develop new ways of controlling the systems and sensors; develop new data acquisition methods
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s Degree or higher in electrical engineering
- Experience working with precision sensors, especially characterization, performance and integration
- Experience with end-to-end electrical hardware (design, prototyping, bring-up and debugging)
- Experience with analog and digital circuit design and testing
- Experience with PCB design and simulation tools
- Experience with scripting and data manipulation in Python
Nice to have
- Experience with firmware, microcontrollers
- Control theory
- Familiarity with MEMS
- C/C++ experience
