Job Description

Responsibilities

• Formulate and test concepts, model, design, and develop prototypes, and execute extensive stability and reliability testing to produce manufacturable lasers according to rapidly changing customer specifications.
• Provide progress updates and maintain timelines for multiple projects.
• Work with the production team to ameliorate build process issues such as yield and consistency.
• Work with service teams to troubleshoot and provide failure analysis, and incorporate customer feedback into design improvements.
• Intermittent travel requirements to provide on-site customer support if needed.
• Requirements
• M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering Physics, Photonics, Optics, or another related scientific/technical discipline.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with design, assembly, alignment, and troubleshooting of lasers and complicated optical setups in a production environment. Other types of experience, such as that involving laser operation, optical setups, and applied physics, are considered.
• Qualifications
• Knowledge of DPSS and/or fiber laser technologies, laser and optical design and modeling, optical components and materials from UV to IR, optical metrology and measurement equipment, and laser systems.
• Familiarity with diffraction gratings, polarization optics, free-space beam propagation and shaping using reflective and refractive elements, acousto-optics, electro-optics, and general laser principles.
• Excellent understanding of the interplay of structural, optical, and thermal design features on system performance.
• Ability to do comprehensive in-lab hands-on experimentation and data analysis.
• Experience with ultrafast laser diagnostic equipment.
• Experience with industry software, including Zemax.
• Experience with ultrafast laser diagnostic equipment.
• Extra Qualifications
• Experience with the modeling and design of high-power fiber laser systems, and validation of models through comprehensive experimentation and data analysis.
