Description

Join our fast-paced and passionate team as a Opto-Mechanical Engineer 2. As we scale, you will be instrumental in building our foundation from the ground up. This is a dynamic, hands-on role for a self-starter who thrives in a fluid startup environment. You'll have the opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies, work closely with leadership, and develop and implement engineering practices that support our mission and growth. Your key responsibilities are as follows: Work independently and in a team while overcommunicating with the manager and the teammates. May mentor junior engineers. Execute complex engineering tasks involving planning, preparation, data/information collection and analysis and decision-making in a process involving peer reviews and documentation of the results. Use tenacity, patience, self-discipline and passion for excellence to assure accuracy of execution schedule, data quality/integrity, conformance to company best practices, clarity in communication and documentation. Use every opportunity to grow competency thru mentorship, curiosity, communication, exposure and initiative. Design, alignment, and validation of laser beam metrology, and machine vision systems.
