Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Lead end-to-end supply chain strategy for R&D through commercial scale, including sourcing, procurement, materials planning, inventory, logistics, supplier development, and risk management. Build and scale a high-performing team, integrate supply considerations into engineering and program decisions, implement supply chain systems and KPIs, and ensure compliance with regulatory and export-control requirements.

Lead non-sequential ray-trace analysis and stray light mitigation for high-energy DUV laser systems using FRED. Model and validate mechanical features (baffles, beam dumps), identify hot spots and fringing, write scripts to automate simulations and data processing, and collaborate with optical, mechanical, and materials teams to meet system-level stray light requirements.

Create and run multi-physics and electromagnetic models and simulations of pulsed power electrical and mechanical systems. Collaborate with design teams to optimize designs, plan validation experiments, and integrate simulation-driven improvements into manufacturing-ready designs.

Design, model, and implement high-performance adaptive optics systems for high-energy lasers. Develop optimization routines and wave-optics simulation tools, collaborate with vendors on deformable mirrors and wavefront sensors, align and calibrate AO hardware, characterize optical environments, and integrate AO subsystems to improve beam quality and stability.

Lead design, specification, procurement, integration, and commissioning of a high-speed adaptive optics system for laser beamlines. Define requirements, performance budgets, run trade studies, engage vendors, oversee tests and factory acceptance, integrate systems with controls and lasers, mentor staff, and grow the Adaptive Optics group with documentation and processes.

Lead HR strategy and operations for a rapidly scaling fusion energy company. Build and mentor the HR organization, drive workforce planning, organizational design, leadership development, total rewards, HR systems, compliance, employee relations, and people analytics to support multi-site growth and commercialization.
