Hummingbird Scientific builds products for electron, X-ray 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 provide pioneering solutions for applications in nanotechnology, materials science, and biology.

As Hummingbird Scientific continues to expand its business, we are increasing the scope of our engineering capabilities. As such, we are looking to grow our team of mechanical, mechatronics engineers and physicists to help find innovative processes and designs for a wide range of new products for in-situ electron, x-ray microscopy, and accessories for CryoEM.

Are you an engineer who likes to do more than sit behind your desk all day? Do you build the things you design and like to guide your ideas from concept to working products? Then this is the right job for you. Our engineers work directly with the instrument makers in our in-house manufacturing facility to bring their designs to life.

Key Qualifications:

• Proven track record in the design of mechanical systems.
• 2D/3D CAD expertise – (Solidworks/CATIA or equivalent)
