Process Engineer

Cooling performance limits high-power computing, semi-conductor fab, cell networks, photonics, power electronics, and most of our digital world. Alloy Enterprises enables customers to break through these constraints with novel complex metal components that dramatically improve heat dissipation in high-performance systems. Alloy’s patented Stack Forging™ process enables complex micro-geometries, resulting in single-piece, leak-tight parts that deliver superior cooling performance, lower pressure drops, and exceptional reliability. Founded in 2020, Alloy is a 45-person hardtech startup that has raised over $50M in capital and is shipping components to customers manufacturing servers, lasers, semiconductor equipment, and defense systems.

About the role

Reporting to the Director of Process Engineering & Materials, the Process Engineer will contribute to problem-solving and the design and execution of experiments to improve the reliability and capability of our process. The Process Engineer will work on solving assembly-specific challenges with a combination of hands-on lab work and data analysis to move tests through our novel manufacturing method. They will be expected to critically analyze experimental results, then make suggestions for process improvements. The Process Engineer will work closely with all of our machines and design single or multivariate experimental trials.

This role generally requires 4 days onsite per week.
