Senior Applied Physicist

Full time
Master, PhD
Eindhoven

As a Senior Applied Physicist with a background in optics, you play a central role in many Sioux projects.

As an Applied Physicist you are responsible for the core technologies of our products. Although the emphasis will often be on the early phases of a project, you will be involved in the entire product creation process from the ideation of concept solutions and technology proof to industrialization. You will work on the development of optical systems, but also contribute to other challenges such as electron and x-ray physics, contamination, (ultra-)high vacuum and thermal design.

What makes you enthusiastic as a Senior Applied Physicist?

  • Applying your broad physical knowhow and creativity to realize innovative solutions for the high-tech industry.
  • Being involved in a project during the whole product creation process: from demonstrating the feasibility of your concepts in functional models and calculation, to translating them into a design to integration and verification testing.
  • Variation, not only between conceptual work, modelling, design work and experiments in the lab, but also by working on one or more projects at the same time and working on various technologies for different applications and markets.
  • Working in multidisciplinary teams including system architects, computational physicists, image processing mathematicians, and many others to get the job done.
  • Guiding colleagues from other fields to further develop and realize your design as well as guiding junior engineers in their projects and coach them to further develop their (technical) talents. With your experience, you help to further expand the Physics & Optics group within Sioux.

Your future workplace

Why you want to work here?

  • You will work within a pleasant working environment, in which High-Tech, High-Fun & High-Value are central.
  • Within Sioux, everyone gets a lot of freedom and responsibility to perform their work in the best possible way.
  • No matter how experienced you are, you will continue to develop yourself on a personal level and in terms of content. You have a personal training budget of €6000 available for this, every year.
  • We love continuous development; people, good ideas and Sioux!
  • We also find it incredibly important to have fun together - no joke! We organise a lot for our employees from family festivals to inspiring knowledge sessions.
  • You work on the Sioux Campus and can use our Sioux Labs living room every day to have lunch, play sports or music and share your knowledge with colleagues.

Sound good so far? We'd love to tell you more...

Working in high-tech.

At Sioux Technologies, we develop and build complex high-tech products, often at the limit of what is technologically possible. We do this together, within a close-knit team of enthusiastic specialists in electronics, software, mechanics, mechatronics, physics, optics and mathematics. This is how we bring high-tech to life that makes society healthier, safer, smarter, more sustainable and more fun. This could be for a large project at a renowned multinational or for a promising start-up developing the next breakthrough technology.

High Tech, High Fun, High Value

We can tell you all about the typical Sioux-culture and the high-tech challenging projects. About how you can develop yourself, like nowhere else. But we’d rather have you hear it from our own employees, including physicists Elif and Marnix.
