  • Maintain detailed build logs, test data, and equipment documentation.
  • Support transitions from R&D; prototypes to production-ready systems.

Qualifications

  • A.S. or B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, or related technical field.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with vacuum systems , instrumentation, or related technology.
  • Familiarity with pumps (rotary, turbo, cryo), gauges, fittings, and helium leak detection.
  • Comfortable using CAD software and data-logging or control interfaces.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail in precision assembly.
  • U.S. Citizenship required (due to projects and facility requirements).
  • About The Company

    We design and manufacture advanced plasma and vacuum technologies where R&D; and production operate side-by-side . Our engineers and technicians collaborate daily — turning ideas into real systems that drive innovation from concept to commercialization.

    If you enjoy hands-on technical work, close collaboration with world-class scientists, and seeing your builds make an impact, this role is an excellent next step.
