Laser Engineer, Console OperationsDirector of Console Operations

DepartmentConsole OperationsProduct development phase:Perform research, development and testing of lasers, laser systems, and fiber optic delivery devices for surgical applications. Provide knowledge of lasers and photonics, particularly high-energy pulsed, Q-switched, and diode driven fiber optic lasers. Build bench-level prototypes and conduct experiments to lead understanding of system design requirements. Work closely with other members of our small, interdisciplinary team developing innovative laser devices and related technologies in a focused, fast-paced and fun environment. This position will require you to translate raw ideas into high-level design concepts and prototypes.Product transition to Manufacturing and on-going productionAbsorb product knowledge from R&D team and transition product to Manufacturing, developing assembly and test procedures. Perform pFMEA to assure product continues to remain compliant to design intent and is traceable to specification. Perform trouble shooting and root cause analysis in manufacturing as needed and implement improvements to reduce cost and address issues.
  • Assemble, align, test, and characterize high-energy pulsed lasers and laser systems.
  • Build and align surgical laser systems, taking them from bench-level to fully functional designs.
  • Couple high-energy, free space lasers to photonic components and fiber optic devices.
  • Conduct lab experiments, collect and analyze resulting data, document and present results.
  • Medical device development activities such as prototyping and testing, pilot builds, V&V, risk assessment, and validation of ramp-up to production.
  • Contribute to patent portfolio and strategy development.
  • Develop and implement tools and fixture to improve assembly and test time.
  • Implement quality improvements and cost reduction projects.

    • Education:
