How much do electron beam jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 7, 2026, the average yearly pay for electron beam in the United States is $70,000.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $70,000.00 and $70,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is an electron beam?

An Electron Beam job typically involves operating and maintaining electron beam (EB) systems used in manufacturing and research applications. Professionals in this role work with EB welding, lithography, or material processing technologies to ensure precision and quality. They may also troubleshoot equipment, adjust parameters, and follow safety protocols for high-energy electron emission. Industries such as aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing, and medical device production commonly employ EB specialists. Strong technical skills and experience with vacuum systems and electronics are often required.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the electron beam position?

To thrive as an Electron Beam Engineer or Technician, you need a solid background in physics, materials science, or electrical engineering with practical experience in vacuum systems and high-voltage equipment. Familiarity with electron beam instruments (such as electron microscopes, welders, or lithography systems), as well as relevant certifications, is highly valued. Attention to detail, strong troubleshooting skills, and clear communication are vital soft skills in this field. These skills ensure safe, precise, and efficient operation of complex electron beam systems while facilitating collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

What does an electron beam do?

As an Electron Beam Engineer or Technician, your typical day may involve setting up, calibrating, and operating electron beam equipment such as microscopes, welders, or lithography systems, as well as monitoring the quality and stability of beams during processing. You may also be responsible for routine maintenance, troubleshooting technical issues, and implementing safety protocols. Collaboration with research scientists, production teams, or quality control specialists is often required to achieve project goals or solve process challenges. This hands-on role provides the opportunity to work in cutting-edge environments in research, manufacturing, or materials analysis, with potential for career advancement through specialization or leadership roles.

Research Scientist, electron beam lithography

SRI International

Princeton, NJ

Full-time

Posted 14 days ago

Job description

Overview

The Microcircuit Emulation Center at SRI International (formerly Sarnoff Corporation) is looking for a Research Scientist, electron beam lithography to support the development of electron beam lithography for manufacturing of microcircuits (integrated circuits). Through SRI's Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) and Advanced Microcircuit Emulation (AME) programs, the Microcircuit Emulation Center supplies form, fit, function, and interface replacements for obsolete microcircuits. This capability supports production, redesign, and sustainment requirements for the life of a weapon system. SRI's Microcircuit Emulation Center is a government-supported, U.S.-based Trusted foundry. This role is onsite at our Princeton, NJ office.  LOOK AT OUR WORK!

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will have an interest in learning about integrated circuit manufacturing and how electron-beam lithography can support the manufacturing process.

Responsibilities will include:

  • E-beam development to complement the existing MEC microcircuit manufacturing processing capabilities.
  • Develop electron-beam lithography processes (wafer coat, exposure and development) to support full-wafer, low-volume, wafer fabrication for legacy microcircuits.
  • Sustaining, improving, and optimizing electron-beam lithography processing to increase throughput for legacy microcircuits.
  • Working with cross functional teams (Engineering, Integration, Design and Layout) to develop processes and integrate into the current production wafer processing capabilities.
  • Data collection, correlation, interpretation, and presentation of information to management and co-workers.
Qualifications
  • B.S. chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, or an equivalent field required.
  • Due to Government requirements candidates must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident.
  • Experienced with electron-beam lithography theory, data perpetration and process development required.
  • Past use of JEOL electron beam systems and GenISys Beamer data preparation software is desired.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor processing.
  • Ability to troubleshoot problems and to document solutions.
  • Demonstrated analytical and systematic teamwork approach to troubleshooting.
  • Must be able to work in a clean room environment up to 75% of the workday and perform flexible shift work when required.
  • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, to describe ongoing work and discuss issues include creating PowerPoints and presenting analysis. 
  • Able to work on site Monday - Friday, starting at 8:30am, with an 8-hour workday.

The salary range is: $63,873-$84,636. Salary ranges will vary and are based on several factors, including geographic location, market competitiveness and equity amongst internal employees in similar roles. Positions may also qualify for SRI's Pay for Outstanding Performance program or the annual Performance Based Compensation program. SRI also has a competitive benefits package, to view details please go to https://www.sri.com/resources/benefits/. SRI will accept applications until the position is filled.

SRI is an independent nonprofit research institute headquartered in Menlo Park, Calif., with a rich history of supporting government and industry. We create and deliver world-changing solutions for a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future. For more than 75 years, we have collaborated across technical and scientific disciplines to discover and develop groundbreaking products and technologies and bring innovations and ideas to the marketplace.
