Role description
Mechanical Engineer
Brighton ScienceTo enable the achievement of 3X growth in the company’s annual revenue, with 1/3rd of the revenue from recurring SaaS subscriptions by initiating global sales conversations with manufacturers who need to know how to detect and resolve the source of their bonding problem. While this may sound mundane, this is the challenge at the root of making products smaller, lighter, and of higher quality. This is a need that thousands of manufactures and product teams are challenged by daily.
Customers look to Brighton Science to provide their unique instrumentation and experience to understand how to create better products, as well as improve the quality of the products that they are already making. We are helping our customers understand their problem in new ways, leading to measurable, breakthrough performance.
Brighton Science offers a patented solution that detects flaws that cause bonding failure with adhesives and coatings. Unlike other solutions, we find the issue where it happens and lead to faster root cause analysis. The solution from Brighton Science allows for detection and analysis within an individual process, across company facilities, and across a supply chain or innovation network. The company already has relationships with some of the world’s most well-known technology and manufacturing companies.
We are embarking on a period of rapid expansion globally. The right candidate will have the opportunity for career defining growth.
