Materials Scientist, Process Development

RxSight® is an ophthalmic medical technology corporation headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California that has commercialized the world’s first and only adjustable intraocular lens (IOL) that is customized after cataract surgery. The company’s mission is to revolutionize the premium cataract surgery experience by allowing surgeons to partner with their patients to achieve optimized results for every unique eye.

OVERVIEW:

The Materials Scientist will lead development activities focused on translating generally established materials and prototype manufacturing processes into robust, scalable, and reproducible production processes. This role is responsible for advancing products from feasibility-stage concepts through process development, verification activities, and manufacturing transfer. The successful candidate will develop a deep understanding of silicone- and acrylic-based systems, including material processing, curing, molding, and associated manufacturing operations.

The Materials Scientist will independently identify and investigate sources of process variability, develop mechanistic understanding of material and process behavior, generate and test hypotheses, and implement improvements that enhance consistency, quality, and manufacturability. Success in this role requires strong analytical skills, data-driven decision making, and the ability to collaborate effectively across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, and other R&D functions.
