Lead Control & Imaging Software Engineer

We are building India's first commercial Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) from the ground up. This is not an integration project. We will design our own electron optics, high-voltage systems, precision mechanics, and real-time control software. If the idea of turning first-principles physics into a manufacturable instrument excites you, read on.

Your Mission

• Build the real-time beam controller on a Zynq Ultrascale+ (ARM+FPGA): Pixel clock ≤20 MHz with ±5 ns jitter; Blanking rise/fall <25 ns into 50 Ω
• Implement closed-loop stage control using high-resolution position feedback; update PID at 10 kHz.
• Stream 16-bit detector data at 250 MB/s over PCIe to host memory.
• Ship imaging algorithms: auto-focus, auto-stigmation, drift correction running at ≥5 fps.
• Provide a clean, documented Python API for scripting and automated metrology.

Who You Are

• 6+ yrs C++17/C, Python, real-time Linux or RTOS; comfortable inside FPGA toolchains (Vivado, Verilog).
• Solid DSP & control theory background; not afraid of scope probes or logic analyzers.
• Bonus: prior work on SEM, TEM, or other charged-particle systems.
