About the role

  • This co-op will contribute to autonomous SEM workflows that make characterization more consistent, high-throughput, and less dependent on manual operators.
  • The work sits at the intersection of materials characterization, image analysis, and autonomous laboratory workflows.
  • We believe science is the most inspiring frontier for AI.

Responsibilities

  • Support development of autonomous SEM workflow using vendor APIs
  • Support experiments that connect imaging decisions to downstream analysis and ML training needs.
  • Document acquisition behavior, edge cases, and failure modes across sample types.
  • Collaborate with ML scientists, experimental scientists, and software partners on instrument-control requirements.
  • Experience building automated scientific or laboratory workflows using Python.
  • Interest in building practical autonomy for scientific instruments across real sample types and workflows.

Requirements

  • Experience with autonomous microscopy, self-driving labs, or agentic scientific workflows.
  • Experience with data analysis for scientific images, spectra, or microscopy datasets.
  • Experience with image segmentation, particle finding, feature detection, or morphology analysis.

Benefits

  • Experience with closed-loop learning, active learning, Bayesian optimization, or reward-driven experimental workflows.
