Offer description

This key role will propel the next generation of fiber lasers to new heights. It’s an exciting opportunity to join a leading organisation in laser technology, working on the development of high-power fiber laser systems for cutting-edge industrial and scientific applications. As a Laser Technology Engineer, you’ll be part of a highly skilled team working on the build, testing, and optimisation of high-power continuous-wave (CW) fiber lasers. This role is open to individuals with a Ph.D. in Physics and experience working with lasers, or to physicists with strong hands-on laboratory experience. This is a practical, experimental position ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with optical components and laser systems. You’ll take ownership of the full testing process - from assembly and fiber splicing through to data analysis - helping to advance the performance, reliability, and efficiency of complex laser systems. You’ll bring a strong background in physics, optics, or photonics, with the ability to apply that knowledge in a lab environment. Additionally, you will have a background in Physics, Photonics or Optics with an inquisitive mind and practical approach. Experience with fiber lasers, optical systems, or laser test setups would be highly valued, alongside practical familiarity with instruments such as power meters and thermal cameras. Programming experience (e.g. Python) is beneficial but not essential. You’ll be detail-driven, safety-conscious, and excited by the challenge of translating advanced physics into practical, working technology. Why Apply This role offers the chance to: Work with cutting-edge high-power laser systems. Collaborate with experts across physics, optics, and engineering disciplines. Receive strong support for technical and professional development. Contribute to the next generation of fiber laser innovation. This role is looking for: A PhD or Master’s degree in Physics or a closely related discipline Understanding of optical systems and laser testing. Experience with high-power fibre lasers is preferable but not essential
