Shape the Future of Science: Build the Tools that Drive Discovery

Looking for a career where your work directly impacts scientific progress? At our manufacturing company, you'll be part of a team creating the tools used by leading researchers around the world.

Our mass spectrometers are vital instruments in fields like medicine, materials science, and environmental analysis. By joining us, you'll have the chance to:

• Work with Top Researchers: Collaborate with brilliant scientists who are pushing the boundaries of knowledge with our instruments.
• Make a Tangible Difference: Your contributions will directly enable researchers to solve real-world problems.
• Be Part of Innovation: Develop and manufacture advanced technology that's constantly evolving.

If you're passionate about science and want a fulfilling career that matters, then join our team and help shape the future of scientific discovery.

The duties of the role include:

• Test products in accordance with documented test procedures
• Maintain/Produce factory test reports as required.
• Install products at our customers’ sites, meeting all contractual performance and quality/safety requirements and providing on-site test reports
• Provide customer training in the factory and on-site where required
• Provide support to the Service department, either by performing service visits or email/phone/remote support, if requested by the Test & Installation Manager

The T&I role entails taking a newly assembled mass spectrometer (built in-house by our assembly team) and turning it into the instrument our customers need to make their next scientific breakthrough. Due to the complex nature of the manufacturing, there are often problems that need to be solved along the way. After testing, we prepare the instruments for delivery to customers round the globe (primarily China, USA and EU). Finally, we install the instruments at customer laboratories all over the world and once commissioned, we train our customers on how to get the most out of their new mass spectrometers.

This is a practical, hands-on role that requires a flexible approach and at least some knowledge from a range of disciplines such as physics, chemistry, maths, electronics and software. Some core skills required for this are fault-finding/diagnostics and the ability to communicate complex ideas to people from anywhere in the world. This role suits those who are naturally curious, comfortable with solo international travel and able to work well with a diverse range of people.
