We are a group of people who care about good work and good teamwork. We stay practical while pushing ourselves to learn, experiment, and build new scientific tools that move research forward. Our strength is in translating complex scientific needs into tools that are precise, usable, and inventive. We work closely with researchers to create experimental platforms that support new approaches in electron microscopy. Read more below to explore what you can expect from life at Hummingbird.
Hummingbird Scientific is defined by an insistence on providing the best possible tools for in-situ microscopy. In pursuit of that goal, all our team members are expected to approach customers' request and specifications with creativity, honesty, and intellectual rigor. That mindset, along with our execution, has allowed Hummingbird Scientific to create revolutionary microscopy products and grow into the stable business it is today.
We are proud of our offices and workshops. In our open-office environment, every employee receives an ergonomic Aeron chair and solid wood desk. Dual monitors, up-to-date workstations, and headsets to complete our tech setup.
Hummingbird is located in the Olympia/Lacey area, surrounded by extensive forests, the Puget Sound, the Olympics, and Mt. Rainier National Park. We are within driving distance of the mountains, beaches, and coast — the best place for hiking, kayaking, climbing, skiing, and camping.
Among other benefits, Hummingbird Scientific offers top-tier medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their dependents. We also provide a match for employee retirement contributions.
Who said that there's no such thing as a free lunch? Every Friday, we serve a BBQ lunch featuring seasonal and organic ingredients. Pantries are stocked with snacks and treats, and we brew locally roasted coffee all day long.
Once a week, the whole company gathers to review progress and to share personal triumphs via talks and demos.
Internships provide an opportunity for you to learn and grow and for us to engage with new ideas. We are always interested in working with motivated, intelligent, and dedicated students and recent graduates.
