About the role

Xcimer Energy, headquartered in Denver, CO, seeks an Optical Coatings Materials Scientist to advance fluorine-resistant coatings for laser-facing components. You will perform hands-on deposition, material characterization, and scale lab developments toward pilot and production environments. The role requires a PhD in a related field and 5–10 years of coating experience, with strong data analysis, DOE design, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

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.
