| Description: | Crystal IS Inc. has developed a semiconductor substrate (Aluminum Nitride) and epitaxial growth process that can be used to create high performance Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diodes (UV-LEDs). Our unique technology allows us to manufacture UV-LEDs with unsurpassed performance within the optimum wavelength range for germicidal disinfection. Commercially viable UV-LEDs will open new markets in water disinfection and bring a safe, environmentally friendly source of water to more people. Crystal IS is actively seeking to hire an Application Development Engineer to join the Business Development team and engage with customers to develop next-generation applications which integrate UVC LED’s into their products - understanding customer’s engineering requirements and developing design specifications which optimize dynamic constraints such as thermal, optical, and fluid flow parameters within confined dimensions. The successful candidate will be a resourceful, self-motivated, hands-on, problem-solver with technical aptitude and capacity to work toward customer milestones in a timely fashion. The work will involve interfacing across functions internally. This position will report to Director of Application Engineering.
