About the role

The University of Rochester's Mechanical Engineering group invites a proven ME Group Leader to oversee the Omega Laser facility related engineering efforts. You will manage ~40 engineers and technicians, drive design, assembly, and integration tasks, and maintain rigorous documentation and safety standards. Salary ranges reflect the high responsibilities and require strong management, communication, and project oversight—offering a hybrid onsite/remote arrangement within the lab ecosystem.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
