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 roleAlloy Enterprises is seeking a highly motivated and creative Senior Process Engineer to join our Process team and drive the advancement of our novel manufacturing technology. This critical, high-impact role reports to the Director of Process Engineering and Materials.The successful candidate is a hands-on, creative problem-solver eager to take on complex technical challenges. You will be a key contributor across multiple stages of our manufacturing process, which includes areas such as laser cutting, metal-metal bonding, surface characterization/preparation, complex part geometry design, advanced data and computational analysis, and material property optimization. You will be expected to independently lead projects from initial concept and ideation, through rigorous data collection and analysis, and ultimately to successful handoff to production machines, resulting in parts that go directly to our customers.This role requires a high degree of technical ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and an ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
