Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the transition of opto-mechanical designs from R&D prototypes to stable, producible manufacturing platforms. Drive root cause investigations and corrective actions while designing tools and fixtures for the production line.
Requires a Ph.D. in a hardware engineering field or equivalent experience with a Master's or Bachelor's degree. Candidates must possess deep understanding of optical and mechanical fundamentals and proficiency in CAD software.
Pendar Technologies is a small, growing high-tech company that is advancing the field of intelligent chemical analysis. Leveraging advanced Raman laser spectroscopy and robust detection algorithms, our flagship product, the Pendar X10, represents the forefront of opto-mechanical innovation in hazardous material identification, which we manufacture onsite. Our innovative solutions assist first responders, law enforcement, and military personnel in identifying the chemicals they encounter in the field. Join Pendar to become part of a place that's developing cutting-edge technology and is making a significant impact safeguarding our country and communities.
Pendar Technologies is seeking a Senior Optomechanical + NPI Engineer to bridge R&D and production for our advanced optical sensing systems. This role is responsible for taking designs from prototype to a producible, reliable, high-yield product by developing advanced automated manufacturing platforms — you will be owning the platform's ongoing success once it's live. You'll design the optomechanical systems, automation cell architecture that make our systems manufacturable at scale, guiding the vision and optimization algorithms that support them. You'll stay engaged through fabrication, test, and production ramp to make sure our products and manufacturing systems actually work in practice.
This role requires a strong understanding of optical and mechanical fundamentals along with the ability to design and build experimental and optomechanical apparatuses. We're looking for someone who is an independent thinker and doer, who is sharp, learns fast, and enjoys solving real hardware challenges using analytical skills while working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
This role reports to the VP of Optomechanical Engineering and works closely with Pendar's founding team, including the CEO and Principal Scientists. It's highly technical group, and you'll have direct exposure to key decisions from early on.
Advanced molecular analytics for safe and resilient communities
Pendar is a privately held company with a mission to create intelligent chemistry systems. We fuse innovative hardware with machine learning algorithms guided by expert knowledge of molecular spectroscopy. Our team previously brought handheld spectroscopy to the field, founded two successful venture-backed companies, and pioneered Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs). We are a vertically integrated company of scientists, engineers, and innovators building our own software, spectroscopy platforms, and laser systems from the ground-up. Our solutions enable users to focus on their primary objectives: discovering and scaling-up new chemistries, responding to emergencies, and saving lives.
