Hummingbird Scientific builds products for electron and ion microscopy with an emphasis on transmission electron microscopes (TEM). In close collaboration with our customers, we design and manufacture all aspects of these complex systems from mechanical, electrical, and software design to fabrication and assembly. We aim to provide pioneering solutions for applications in nanotechnology, materials science, and biology.

Our facility in Lacey, WA includes our engineering workspaces dedicated to advanced 3D mechanical/mechatronics design, our precision manufacturing shop, part inspection area, system assembly lab and scientific electron microscopy lab.

As all of these facilities are placed under one roof, engineers can effectively work together with machinists, assembly technicians and scientists to develop our in-situ microscopy tools. Engineers are in charge of all aspects of the product development cycle, where there is typically one lead Engineer working with help of other engineers to holistically design new system.

At Hummingbird Scientific we design, develop, and build cutting-edge in-situ scientific equipment for use in electron, ion, and x-ray microscopes. The precision microscopy devices we create and manufacture are used by world-class universities, government laboratories and agencies, and private industry in both the United States and around the world.

Our products support our values by enabling innovative research and science that makes the world a better place. To do this our goal is to keep developing the next innovation in in-situ microscopy. As a result we recently launched 5 new unique in-situ TEM holder products in the second half of last year and are aiming to launch several more new products in 2020.

Because of these new products, we are looking for to add a Product Application Scientist to expand our Applications/Sales Team, who is responsible for applications, sales and marketing efforts around the globe.

In addition to a background in (in-situ) electron microscopy, and a drive to help get our tools to new customers, a good candidate needs to have an interest in wanting to develop ideas for new (in-situ) microscopy tools.

We are looking for professionals who possess the following skills/background and interests:

• Ability to train customers and perform installation of in-situ microscopy system
• Provide independent remote and on-site applications and technical support for our customers
• Experience with in-situ TEM (required), SEM, FIB, X-Ray Synchrotron
• 2 year of industry experience in sales/support/marketing of scientific equipment required (or equivalent)
• Travel as necessary world-wide (about 20-30% travel)
• Work with customers to identify the tools they need for their experiments and quote them the hardware they need
• Identify sales leads and promote the sale of Hummingbird Scientific’s products
• Demonstrate new or existing methods using in-situ and operando microscopy products
• Write and present marketing materials for website, publish papers in scientific or trade journals, and develop content for conference presentations.
• Submit and write proposals for grants to develop new product ideas for in-situ microscopy systems
• Interested in planning and working in a structured system towards specific results
• Ability to work from first principles compare, analyze, and summarize differing approaches and then clearly communicate the results
