Our current openings

WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES

Applications Engineer

Position Summary:

We are looking for an Optics Applications Engineer who can take ownership of all printed optical, electrical components and systems. In this role, you will bridge the gap between our technology, our engineering teams, and our end-use applications, such as technology demonstrators, internal or customer-driven products. This role involves working with optical and systems engineers to reduce their designs to printed best-practice, characterize printed works as components, test within application systems and ultimately evolve concepts to production grade products. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working at the intersection of optics, electronics, precision mechanics, and nanofabrication. The position is on-site with the potential for part-time remote work and growth to a leadership position.
