## About the role

We are seeking a senior engineer to help shape the future of our laser-based manufacturing processes from development to scaled production. This role operates at the nexus of process, device design, AI, software and hardware - bridging advanced micromachining, materials physics, and optical systems. You will drive forward laser process development to deliver rapid and effective results across cutting, milling, selective ablation, and welding processes using a suite of in-house-built pulsed-laser machines. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- A master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or a related field, and 6-10 years of relevant industry experience
- Strong foundational knowledge of laser-material interaction and the physics of heating, melting, and ablation, along with heat transfer and thermomechanical phenomena
- Hands-on experience with laser processing and parameter development (pulsed-laser experience ideal but not required), knowledge of laser and optical system design and performance
- Experience scaling processes and handing off to production
- Proficiency in DOE and statistical analysis
- Experience with Python and ability to leverage AI tools for programming
