Job Description

Laser & Application Engineer - Strand, London, WC2R 2LS

The position is for a Laser & Application (L&A) engineer to perform metrology of a high repetition rate femtosecond Ytterbium laser amplifier prototype. The L&A project is for 3 months, based in the attosecond quantum physics laboratory at King’s College London, NMES faculty at the Strand Campus, supervised by Dr. Amelle Zair.

We seek an experienced L&A laser engineer with a PhD in CPA laser technology and applications in high harmonic generation (HHG). Candidates should have expertise in designing and developing optical lines and diagnostics for femtosecond pulse sources.

The NMES faculty includes Chemistry, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics, and Physics, all highly rated in research and education. We support staff with flexible working, caring support, training, and networks.

Staff can apply for flexible working arrangements. The university is investing in NMES, with growing student and staff numbers. Our staff come from over 45 countries, and 56% of students are international. The main campus is in central London. More details at www.kcl.ac.uk/nms.

The L&A laser engineer will lead the metrology and application of a high repetition rate femtosecond CPA Ytterbium laser amplifier prototype, integrating it into the HHG chain at King’s College London in the Attosecond quantum physics laboratory, led by Dr. Amelle Zair.

Responsibilities include building diagnostics, testing, commissioning the full metrology, developing and ordering optomechanical components and optical elements, designing further, and preparing documentation and simulations. This includes data storage per our DMP, CAD drawings, ray tracing, amplification simulations, and documentation on system alignment and performance.

The engineer will be fully responsible for the L&A work, reporting to the supervisor and collaborating on progress. Opportunities include disseminating results through conferences and publications.
