Why Fourier?

Fourier is startup company located in Burlington, MA. We are working towards commercializing the platform technology of thermoformable technical ceramics for multifunctional packaging and electronic enclosures for SWaP-C constrained applications. The foundational technology is based on a new class of ceramic and manufacturing process that can elastically deform fully sintered ceramic sheets into complex, three-dimensional, end-use ceramic components. Our first application is focused on semiconductor packaging and board level encapsulation for radio frequency (RF) electronic components and subsystem level devices. Where Fourier's impact mission is to innovate in materials to produce components and sub-systems that can provide electronics with better reliability and longevity, while reducing costs as the world continues towards growing the electrification economy on land, sea, air, and in space.

We are looking for creative thinkers and those who love to build, people who will bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team. If you are this type of person, and you are interested in working in a small developing company with a customer-first mindset to meet Fourier's long term impact mission, then we want to hear from you.

Current Openings

Manufacturing and Product Development Engineer

​Projects this team member will work on may include, but not limited to,

  • Develop and qualify manufacturing techniques, processes, and work instructions for the manufacturing of thermoformable ceramics

  • Lead product development - customer and internal engineering engagement

  • Quality control systems integration

  • Design tooling for product development

  • CAD Design work, creative problem solving, and hands on assembly of test pieces

  • Design and test equipment to develop custom automation manufacturing processes

  • Digital twin modelling for pilot production and scaled manufacturing development

Must-have requirements,

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs occasionally

  • Perform activities such as typing, standing, stooping, and sitting for extended periods of time

  • Dedication to safety to mitigate hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, lead, radiation, high voltage, and cryogenics

  • Willingness to occasionally complete tasks outside of defined role, travel, or work required nights/weekends/on-call

  • Knowledgeable in programming environments (MATLAB, Python, C++, etc.)

  • An intermediate to advanced knowledge of powder processing and sintering processes of technical ceramic materials

  • A foundational understanding of chemical hygiene and lab safety is required as you may be working with industrial hazards that may include high heat, noise, fumes, high voltage, and chemicals

  • Competence in conducting secondary research and presenting digestible findings is required (e.g. academic and industrial literature, ASTM/ISO standards, etc.)

  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, flexible, and team-oriented environment

  • Ability to obtain security clearance if required

Position Details:

  • $100,000 - $150,000, the actual salary will depend on level of expertise, qualifications, and relevant experience.

  • Competitive compensation

  • 12 federal and state based holidays

  • Competitive vacation policy

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance

  • On-site in Burlington, MA with flexibility for remote work within the scope of the position
