You will bring a strong background in physics, optics, or photonics, and a practical, inquisitive approach. Experience with fiber lasers, optical setups, or laser testing environments is highly valued, as is familiarity with lab instruments such as power meters and thermal cameras. You will be detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and motivated to translate advanced physics into working technology.
This role offers the opportunity to work on state-of-the-art high-power fiber laser systems, collaborate with a team of experts across physics, optics, and engineering, and contribute to the next generation of fiber laser innovation. Strong technical and professional development support is provided.
This role requires:
A PhD or Master’s degree in Physics or a closely related discipline
Hands-on experience with optical systems, lasers, or laboratory experimentation
Strong understanding of fiber lasers/similar and laser testing methods (experience with high-power lasers is a plus)
