• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs and stand for extended periods.
• Comfortable following safety protocols, including PPE and safe handling of metal powders and chemicals.

Responsabilités

• Set up, operate and maintain metal additive manufacturing equipment, including build prep, powder or feedstock handling, part removal and post-processing.
• Assemble pre-production cooling parts onto silicon, packages and boards using bonding, dispensing, soldering and fastening processes.
• Run pick-and-place, reflow and other assembly equipment as our pilot line comes online.
• Inspect parts using microscopes, gauges, CMM and leak testers, and record measurements accurately.
• Follow SOPs and work instructions to the letter, and suggest improvements when you see a better way.
• Keep build logs, travelers and traceability records clean and complete.

The Role

If you love machines, take pride in precise work and get a kick out of making things that didn't exist yesterday, come build with us.

What You'll Do

• Set up, operate and maintain metal additive manufacturing equipment, including build prep, powder or feedstock handling, part removal and post-processing
• Assemble pre-production cooling parts onto silicon, packages and boards using bonding, dispensing, soldering and fastening processes
• Run pick-and-place, reflow and other assembly equipment as our pilot line comes online

What You Bring

• High school diploma or GED; associate degree or technical certificate in manufacturing, mechatronics, electronics or a related field preferred
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, electronics assembly, machining, 3D printing or a lab environment
• Comfortable reading engineering drawings, work instructions and assembly documentation
• Experience with precision hand tools and measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, microscopes)
• Excellent attention to detail and a steady hand
• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs and stand for extended periods

Who Thrives Here

Hungry. You want the hard problem, and you'd rather ship a working prototype on Friday than a perfect slide deck next month.

Humble. You let the data win the argument, especially when it disagrees with you.

Smart. You learn fast, think from first principles and know when to go deep versus when to move.

Hands-on. You have a track record of building real things that work, and you have the scars (and the spreadsheets) to prove it.

Data-driven. You design experiments, instrument everything and make decisions from the numbers.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary plus benefits
• Medical, dental and vision coverage and paid time off
• A seat at the table on a technology that could become the industry standard
• Southern Tier New York living: short commutes, four real seasons, Finger Lakes weekends and an affordable cost of living
