Job Description Summary

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Develop qualify and optimize laser ablation processes for a range of materials and product applications.

• Define and adjust process parameters such as pulse energy wavelength frequency scan speed focal position and beam path to achieve required performance outcomes.

• Conduct experiments and analyze results to improve process capability yield throughput and repeatability.

• Support process scale-up and transfer from R&D or prototype phases into manufacturing.

• Troubleshoot laser processing issues related to equipment performance material interaction feature quality or dimensional variation.

• Collaborate with manufacturing quality and other development teams to meet technical and production objectives.

• Support to create and maintain process documentation work instructions validation protocols and engineering reports.

• Analyze processed parts using inspection and metrology tools to confirm conformance to specifications.

• Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives related to laser processing quality cycle time and equipment utilization.

• Ensure compliance with laser safety requirements environmental health and safety standards and internal operating procedures.

• Support equipment qualification maintenance planning and vendor interactions for laser systems and related tools.

• Has knowledge of best practices and how own area integrates with others; is aware of the competition and the factors that differentiate them in the market

• Uses some judgment and has some ability to propose different solutions outside of set parameters to address more complicated manufacturing processes with technical variety and/or interdependent production cycles. Uses technical experience and analytical thinking. Uses multiple internal and limited external sources outside of own teams to arrive at decisions.

• Acts as a resource for colleagues with less experience. May lead small projects with low risks and resource requirements. Explains information; developing skills to bring team members to consensus around topics within field. Conveys performance expectations and may handle sensitive issues.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Engineering Materials Science Mechanical Engineering or a related field with a minimum of 5 years of experience in laser processing machining technologies or precision manufacturing.

• Hands-on experience in developing and optimizing laser ablation processes including parameter setting (e.g. pulse energy frequency scan speed focal control).

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with experience in process characterization experimentation and troubleshooting manufacturing or equipment-related issues.

• Proven experience in supporting process scale-up from R&D to production including documentation validation and cross-functional collaboration.

• Familiarity with inspection metrology tools and manufacturing quality standards with knowledge of safety (laser/EHS) and continuous improvement practices.
