The Role

Support the development, assembly, and test of custom laser systems and optical subsystems, working closely with senior engineering staff.
Hands‑on experience with free‑space optical setups, including alignment and coupling to single‑mode and specialty optical fibers.
Design and execute experiments and feasibility studies to evaluate new laser and optical system concepts and architectures.
Characterize and test laser systems and fiber‑optic assemblies to quantify performance and validate designs.
Support high‑power (kW-class) laser testing of optical assemblies and subsystems.
Contribute to the development of optical prescriptions and layouts using optical design tools (e.g., Zemax).
Document experimental setups, test results, and assembly procedures to support product development and transfer.

The Individual

Background in optical engineering, physics, or a closely related discipline.
Hands‑on experience with laser systems, ideally including ultrafast and/or high‑power CW laser sources.
Understanding of optical modes in fibers and their impact on coupling and system performance.
Hands‑on work with free‑space optics, including alignment and coupling light into optical fiber.
Optical test and measurement capability, including laser and beam characterization.
