Provide clients with high precision custom laser cutting services of both metal (e.g. stainless steel, nickel, copper) and non-metal materials (e.g. capton, peek, plastic, acrylic, glass). The job of the engineer is to create a formula for the laser machine to accurately, effectively, and efficiently cut the material. Specifically:

1. Develop, configure, and test Tannlin and LPKF laser machines and software by cutting materials in the most precise and high-quality manner, using Cad.
2. Design laser tools and cutting plans/material on a per job basis by studying work orders, prints, engineering plans, materials, specifications, and machining parameters and by interpreting geometric dimensions and tolerances (GD&T). Each job requires a different material thickness and specification.
3. Create guidelines and procedures for receiving material into the manufacturing facility and inspect material upon arrival.
4. Maintain laser equipment by completing preventive maintenance requirements, including following manufacturer’s instructions, troubleshooting malfunctions, repairs, etc.
5. Train other team members in special maintenance techniques like repair UV and IR system components and in proper cleaning, lubrication, measurements, and calibration.
6. Conduct research related to alternative machinery and cutting sources that will lead to improved product performance and more efficient processes.

Minimum Education: Bachelor’s degree in a Mechanical Engineering or closely related degree (Foreign Equivalent is OK).

Experience: 2 years of experience developing, configuring, and testing laser machines (Tannlin or LPKF), laser machine software, and laser tools, including 2 years of experience with CAD design software.
