Informational Interviews

While working on your experiment…

• Do you find yourself thinking “I could make that tool better”?
• Have you wondered where lock-in amplifiers come from?
• Are you curious about life as a physicist working in industry?
• Do you want to produce real-world scientific instrumentation at scale?

We want to meet you!

Stanford Research Systems (SRS) will have senior staff attending the APS DAMOP Conference from Tuesday through Thursday, June 1–4, 2026\. Even if you haven’t considered a career outside the traditional academic path, this is a chance to learn how the instruments you’ve used for your research are conceived, designed, built, and sold.

If you’d like to schedule a time to meet with us, please click the APPLY NOW button to send us your information, and we’ll be in touch to set up a time to meet when we’re all in Providence.

The Company

SRS has a 40\+ year history designing and manufacturing test equipment for research.
