You Will Make an Impact By

Execute experiments to test conceptual designs and to document optical system performance. Use software computational tools to aid in the design and analysis of optical system performance. Work with reliability, mechanical and electrical engineers to assist in evaluating and documenting opto‑mechanical and electro‑optical specifications. Define test strategies, build, test and document system prototypes: measure optical and opto‑electronic parameters and evaluate results, create test reports and generate design documentation including optical diagrams, drawings, and optical components specifications, analysis, documentation, and evaluation of experimental results. Work in a multi‑disciplinary team and interact with Electrical, Mechanical, Software and Manufacturing Engineers on new product development and to transfer the design to production. Guide and train technicians on newly developed processes and optical measurement techniques.

Skills You Bring

Master degree in Engineering, Mechatronic, Physics or a related field required and 3+ years industry experience. Willingness to learn and openness to change. Independent, analytical, and result‑oriented work approach. Proven ability to independently define opto‑electronic measurement procedures, set up and perform the measurements, evaluate the results and clearly communicate the conclusions to peer engineers and management. Proven experience with optical measurement instruments: beam parameters analyzers, power meters, auto‑correlators, fast opto‑electronics, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and spectrometers, scanning interferometers. Interdisciplinary thinking and enjoyment of innovative solutions. Ideally, practical experience and knowledge in ultrafast pulse laser research and development. Initial methodological competence in project management. Fluent English language skills.
