TEM Scientist - Automation & Data Workflows - Eurofins

Phoenix, AZ | Weekend Shift Eligible

Eurofins EAG Laboratories is seeking a hands-on Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Scientist who also has strong experience building automation, scripting, or data workflows for microscopy data .

This is a specialized, hybrid role combining advanced TEM operation and applied automation/data science in a production laboratory environment.

This role requires both :

• Hands-on experience operating TEM/STEM systems for materials characterization
• AND hands-on experience building or implementing automation, scripting, or data workflows (e.g., Python, DigitalMicrograph, ImageJ, or similar tools)

Candidates with experience in only one of these areas will not be considered.

The Scientist will collaborate closely with engineers, scientists, and operations teams to translate laboratory requirements into practical, scalable automation solutions and data workflows.

This role is centered on materials science applications within an analytical laboratory setting. The position requires experience aligned with materials characterization and non-biological systems, which are most relevant to the work performed. Responsibilities include a combination of hands-on laboratory execution and applied programming, rather than work that is solely research- or theory-based.

Work is conducted in a client-driven analytical services environment, requiring solutions that are practical, scalable, and reproducible.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and implement automation workflows directly on S/TEM systems (data acquisition, instrument control, and workflow scripting)
• Develop and maintain automated pipelines for TEM data collection and analysis
• Perform image processing (segmentation, enhancement, measurement, visualization) on 2D and 3D datasets
• Apply computer vision, statistics, and machine learning to microscopy and analytical data
• Work with multi-modal materials characterization data (TEM, SEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, RBS, etc.)
• Improve throughput, repeatability, and data quality of TEM-based services
• Build tools for data processing, feature extraction, and exploratory analysis
• Partner with lab teams to translate real-world analytical problems into automated solutions
• Support S/TEM operation and data collection, including EDS/EELS where needed
• Contribute to new TEM capabilities (e.g., 4D STEM, advanced imaging workflows)

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

• Implement or improve automation workflows used in production TEM work
• Reduce manual intervention in data collection and analysis
• Increase throughput and consistency of TEM services
• Build usable tools and pipelines that lab teams adopt

Work Schedule

• Wednesday–Sunday or Saturday–Wednesday
