Job description

Overview :

We are seeking a Research Scientist with a strong background in electrodynamics and ion-optics to support the development of next-generation ion-manipulation technologies. In this role, you will design and execute experiments, perform advanced simulations, and analyze complex datasets to drive product innovation.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Experimental Design & Execution

  • Develop detailed experimental plans to evaluate ion-manipulation concepts, subsystem performance, and prototype designs.
  • Set up, calibrate, and maintain laboratory instrumentation required for ion-optics testing (e.G., ion sources, ion guides, traps, detectors).
  • Conduct experiments to characterize ion behavior under varying electrical, geometric, and environmental conditions.
  • Document methodologies, observations, and results thoroughly for internal knowledge sharing and future reference.

2. Simulation & Data Analysis

  • Perform ion-optics simulations—primarily using SIMION—to model electric field distributions, ion trajectories, transmission efficiencies, and device tuning behavior.
  • Compare and reconcile simulation results with experimental data to identify discrepancies, refine models, and validate design concepts.
  • Use quantitative analysis methods to extract meaningful insights from large datasets, including statistical evaluation and sensitivity analysis.
  • Provide clear, data-driven recommendations that directly inform hardware design decisions and product development milestones.
  • 3. Hardware Development Support

  • Contribute to the design and optimization of ion-manipulation components such as ion guides, ion traps, RF devices, and mass filters.
  • Evaluate the performance of prototype components, propose modifications, and collaborate with engineering teams to implement improvements.
  • Participate in brainstorming sessions and feasibility studies for novel ion-optics architectures and technologies.
  • Ensure designs adhere to performance requirements, manufacturability considerations, and system-level constraints.
  • Required Skills & Qualifications :

  • Solid foundation in electrodynamics , including understanding of electric fields, RF potentials, charged-particle motion, and multipole field behavior.
  • Hands-on experience with SIMION / Mass Spectrometry for ion-trajectory modeling, field setup, geometry design, and optimization.
  • Required Education : MSc in Physics;
  • (PhD in Physics is preferred)

    At least 2 years of experience designing or working with ion-manipulation hardware , such as :

  • RF or DC ion guides (quadrupoles, hexapoles, octopoles)
  • Linear or 3D ion traps
  • Mass filters and energy filters
  • Ion lenses and beam-shaping components
  • Create a job alert for this search
