Familiarity with specialized tools like microscopes, spectrometers, and grading reports is essential for accurate assessment and verification. Strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate clearly with clients and colleagues set outstanding candidates apart. These skills ensure precise diamond evaluation, build client trust, and support successful sales or procurement in the jewelry industry.

  • Lead key projects focused on equipment and automation improvements to support scalable manufacturing.

  • Revolutionize high-power ablative systems to create world-leading throughput and precision performance.
Requirements
  • Advanced degree in  Materials Science, Applied Physics (materials, laser, or optics focus), or Engineering with a minimum of 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Expertise with applying optical fundamentals, laser materials processing, and resolving technical problems in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Experience in rigorous experimentation, documentation, and data-driven process improvements.
  • Experience with mass production of diamond, semiconductors, and/or ceramics is a plus.
$150,000 - $180,000 a year
