Job Purpose:

Assist Process Development engineers, scientists, and/or teams in the development and analysis of products, materials, processes, or equipment. This level position requires an extensive knowledge base and a high degree of independence. You ll work hands-on to solve complex problems in a fast-paced, global environment, focusing on developing laser processes from concept to production.

• Execute assigned tasks for project deliverables.
• Develop solutions and contribute to initial design, testing, and process concepts.
• Construct prototype products and/or from concepts.
• Organize, coordinate, and execute prototyping efforts with minimal engineering guidance.
• Apply technical knowledge to innovate, design, and develop processes, procedures, tooling and/or automation.
• Coordinate procuring and qualification of new or modified laser equipment.
• Prepare reports/documentation to communicate results to the technical community.
• Use developed networks in assisting engineering teams in obtaining necessary materials, services, and data.
• Work with internal resources and external vendors to identify and obtain supplies and services.
