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.
