We are looking for someone who learns software and processes quickly, is detail-oriented, and enjoys solving problems in a fast-paced industrial office environment. In this position, you’ll be trained to handle accounting tasks (AR, AP, invoices, and QuickBooks), set up new customer and product accounts, generate purchase orders, and manage pricing updates for our 10,000+ product catalog. You’ll also gain hands-on experience with marketing, technical website listings, and creative tools like Photoshop and InDesign. This is a great opportunity for sharp, career-minded individuals who want to grow with a family-owned company serving scientific and research communities across North America.




STEM Teacher Transition to Industry – Technical Marketing & Product Content Specialist


Ideal Spectroscopy in Albuquerque, NM is seeking motivated high school or college teachers of Mathematics, Physics, or Chemistry who are ready to apply their technical expertise outside the classroom. This full-time role offers STEM educators the opportunity to transition into industry, using their skills in communication, problem-solving, and scientific concepts to support technical marketing, product content creation, graphics, procurement, and technical sales support. Candidates should be quick learners, comfortable with new software, and eager to master the details of advanced vacuum technology used in research and development laboratories across North America. This position provides competitive pay, benefits, and hands-on training, making it an excellent career path for smart, early-career educators looking to grow in a dynamic and scientifically technical business environment.




Construction Technician – HVAC, Plumbing, Drywall & Electrical


Ideal Spectroscopy is seeking a skilled and versatile Construction Technician to join our team in Albuquerque, NM. This full-time role requires hands-on experience in HVAC, plumbing, drywall, and electrical repair, supporting both new build-outs and ongoing property maintenance. The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and able to handle diverse tasks ranging from equipment troubleshooting and drywall finishing to plumbing repairs and electrical installations. With opportunities to work independently across multiple facilities, this position offers a chance to contribute directly to maintaining high-quality, safe, and efficient environments for our company and tenants. Competitive pay, benefits, and growth opportunities make this a rewarding career for an experienced multi-trade technician.




Mechanical Design Engineer — Product Development, Prototyping & Manufacturing Support


Ideal Spectroscopy is seeking a hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer to own the full product lifecycle—from concept and SolidWorks 3D modeling through drawings, BOMs, prototyping, test, and release—for scientifically technical vacuum hardware used by universities and national labs across North America. You’ll apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5), DFM/DFA, and PDM best practices to create reliable, manufacturable assemblies; specify materials and finishes suitable for vacuum service; and collaborate daily with machinists, fabricators, assemblers, and test engineers to iterate quickly and hit performance, cost, and timeline targets. If you like moving ideas off the screen and into the lab, solving real manufacturing problems, and delivering clean drawing packages that build right the first time, this role offers meaningful impact, cross-functional exposure, and room to grow.




Mechanical/Opto-Mechanical Design Engineer — Spectroscopy & Laboratory Instruments


Ideal Spectroscopy (Albuquerque, NM) are seeking a hands-on mechanical engineer to design and productize vacuum-compatible optical hardware and lab instruments—think VUV/XUV beamlines, monochromators, precision mounts, translation stages, detector interfaces, and clean, low-drift opto-mechanical assemblies. You’ll own the lifecycle from concept and SolidWorks CAD through drawings/BOMs, prototyping with our in-house machinists, optical/mechanical testing, and release—balancing tolerances, alignment strategies, stray-light control, materials/finishes for vacuum service, and practical DFM/DFA. You’ll collaborate closely with scientists and senior engineers, translating beam geometry and performance targets into robust, buildable designs; experience with GD&T and PDM is expected, and familiarity with Zemax/OpticsStudio is a plus. If you enjoy turning clean ray paths and clever mechanisms into reliable instruments that ship, this role offers meaningful impact, cross-disciplinary teamwork, and room to grow—backed by competitive pay, benefits, profit sharing, a flexible schedule, and strong support for experimentation and learning.




Senior Mechanical Engineer — Vacuum Pump Product Development (Scroll & Multistage Roots)


Ideal Spectroscopy (Albuquerque, NM) is seeking a senior mechanical engineer to lead the design and commercialization of next-generation dry scroll and multistage Roots vacuum pumps used in university, national lab, and high-tech manufacturing environments. You will own the product lifecycle—from requirements and SolidWorks 3D design through drawings/BOMs, prototyping, verification/validation, and release—tackling core challenges in thermal growth, rotating clearances, leakage control, vibration, and durability. Success in this role means applying GD&T and tolerance stacks, executing FEA (thermal/structural) and targeted DOEs, collaborating closely with our in-house machine shop and test labs, and driving PDM/ECO discipline to deliver reliable, manufacturable designs on schedule. You’ll mentor engineers, present crisp technical reviews to stakeholders, and help build our IP portfolio while improving cost, yield, and performance. If you thrive at turning rigorous analysis into clean, production-ready hardware—and enjoy seeing your designs move quickly from CAD to the test stand—this role offers broad impact, autonomy, and room to grow.




Manufacturing Technician — Parts Cleaning, Packaging, Inventory & Assembly (Entry-Level / Recent Grad)


Ideal Vacuum Products (Albuquerque, NM) is hiring a hands-on Manufacturing Technician to move precision parts from our CNC machine shop to finished, shippable products used in university and national-lab R&D. You’ll run industrial ultrasonic cleaning to remove cutting fluids and chips, air-dry and package components with product labels, receive and transfer inventory in our ERP (accurate counts, lot/serial data), and assemble parts into vacuum valves, chambers, windows, and doors using hand tools and work instructions. The role fits a recent graduate in Manufacturing/Industrial Technology or Mechanical Engineering Technology with strong attention to detail, mechanical aptitude, and solid PC skills. If you enjoy precise work, following specs/torque values, and keeping a clean, organized bench, this is a great on-ramp to a long-term career in high-tech manufacturing with training and room to grow.




Entry-Level Digital Marketing & Technical Content Designer (STEM) – Great Fit for Recent College Graduates


Ideal Vacuum Products (Albuquerque, NM) is hiring a recent college graduate in Digital Marketing, Graphic Design, Communications, or STEM to create high-quality product pages for scientific vacuum equipment used in universities, national labs, and R&D. You’ll write clear technical descriptions from manuals/datasheets, build SEO-friendly listings in our CMS with light HTML/CSS, and produce clean visuals using Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Success looks like fast learning, excellent English/technical writing, strong attention to detail, and comfort collaborating with engineers so specs and terminology are right. Portfolio required (product page or datasheet, image edits, and a one-page graphic). This full-time, on-site role offers competitive pay, training, and real growth for smart, early-career creatives who love turning complex STEM concepts into compelling digital content.




Software Developer: (VB.NET WinForms + SQL Server, ASP.NET Core), Early-Career, BS/BA Required (High GPA)


Ideal (Albuquerque, NM • On-site) is hiring an early-career software developer to enhance our VB.NET WinForms line-of-business apps (inventory, pricing, product/category tools) and contribute to ASP.NET Core Razor Pages as we migrate off Classic ASP. A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer/Software Engineering, Information Systems, or closely related field is required (GPA 3.5+ preferred); 1–3 years of professional experience building data-driven features is expected. You’ll write clean T-SQL (queries, views, stored procedures), refactor legacy modules, and ship Razor Pages for new admin/customer features—work that’s used daily across operations and eCommerce. We’re looking for disciplined engineering habits (source control, code reviews, testing), strong communication, and reliable follow-through.
