Principal Laser Process Engineer

Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.

Responsibilities

• Optimize high-power ablative laser processes to deliver micron-precision dimensional modification of diamond at high yields and throughput.
• Lead key projects focused on equipment and automation improvements to support scalable manufacturing.
• Serve as a subject matter expert, overseeing laser and related processes while optimizing process controls and data collection to drive continuous improvement.
• Revolutionize high-power ablative systems to create world-leading throughput and precision performance.

Requirements

• Advanced degree in  Materials Science, Applied Physics (materials, laser, or optics focus), or Engineering with a minimum of 8+ years of relevant experience.
• Expertise with applying optical fundamentals, laser materials processing, and resolving technical problems in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Experience in rigorous experimentation, documentation, and data-driven process improvements.
• Experience with mass production of diamond, semiconductors, and/or ceramics is a plus.
