Job Description

Senior Systems Engineer – Ultrafast Laser Systems

If you’re motivated by hands-on work with ultrafast laser systems and want real influence over how high-performance photonic technology is developed and deployed, this is an opportunity to step into a senior, technically driven role within a specialist laser engineering business.
 You’ll play a central role in architecting and delivering next-generation photonic processing platforms, combining deep experimental work with system-level ownership from early-stage R&D through to robust product delivery. This is a senior technical position with genuine responsibility, suited to someone comfortable leading complex engineering programmes from concept through to implementation.
 Working across ultrafast laser sources, precision motion systems, adaptive optics, and vision-based feedback, you’ll ensure stable, high-accuracy system performance in demanding environments, while driving integration, optimisation, and scalability.

Essential experience

Strong practical background with ultrafast or femtosecond laser systems
Hands-on experience in photonics, precision instrumentation, or complex system integration
Proven experience working with suppliers, customers, and cross-functional engineering teams
Experience taking systems from development through to deployment or production
Desirable background

PhD or MSc in physics, optics, or a related discipline
Experience with precision motion control, adaptive optics, or machine-vision-enabled systems
Exposure to photonic device fabrication, fibre or waveguide technologies, or high-accuracy metrology
Location: Oxford based, hands-on role with some flexibility
 Salary: Up to ~£60K depending on experience
 Benefits: Bonus, share options, private medical cover, enhanced pension, and professional development support
