We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Process Engineer with experience in Metal Additive Manufacturing or Metal Injection Molding to join our innovative team. As a key member of our manufacturing team, you will be responsible for operating and maintaining our metal 3D printing equipment, ensuring the production of high-quality metal components. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in metal additive manufacturing, with expertise in setting up, monitoring, and troubleshooting metal 3D printing processes.

About us:

Corintis is a provider of advanced semiconductor cooling technologies. Some of the biggest challenges of our lifetime, from climate modeling to drug discovery, require ever increasing computing resources. As more specialized and powerful chips are being deployed in data centers all over the world, the efficient cooling of these large computing clusters has become a major economic and environmental concern.

In fact, the electricity consumption devoted to data center cooling in the near future is estimated to match the combined consumption of London and New York. Moreover, next-generation chip designs are expected to be limited by current cooling technologies.

At Corintis, we address these challenges by integrating cooling directly inside the silicon chip. By doing so, we aim to enable the sustainable computing of the future and allow other innovators to work on the biggest global challenges. Today, we are working alongside some of the biggest names in the industry to enable the next generation of sustainable high-performance data centers.
