Synrad – Electronics
Engineer – RF High Power
4600 Campus Place, Mukilteo, WA 98275
Since its start in 1984, Synrad has delivered more CO2 lasers to
industry than any other manufacturer. We
operate on a simple philosophy - to
design and manufacture a range of high technology products that are easy to
use, reliable, and affordable - thereby opening up new applications for sealed
CO2 laser technology worldwide. Designed
for incorporation into a wide range of equipment, our sealed CO2
lasers are found in cutting and engraving machines, laser marking systems, and
custom laser processing tools in virtually every industrial marketplace. Based on our patented "All Metal" tube technology, there are
now over 100,000 Synrad lasers in use
throughout the world.
The successful engineer will be
responsible for participating in the specification, design, development,
documentation of RF circuits to drive Synrad laser products from concept
through to production. If you enjoy
working in a fast-paced environment with a smart team, and the very latest
technology, then this is the job for you!
