Job Description

Great opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team on cutting edge research and development that directly impacts space exploration, communication infrastructure, and our national security. Gain experience in many aspects in the field of optics at all phases of the engineering design process. You will support the development, integration, and test of advanced laser systems. You will work with a team of mechanical and electrical engineers to build a unique packaged system that can withstand wide temperature operation or high vibrational loads. The work-load will at times include multiple concurrent projects with a mix of short duration research programs and longer duration technology maturation programs.

The successful candidate will thrive in a small-company environment (that means fewer levels of managers), have direct hands-on experience with diode pumped solid state lasers operating in the UV/VIS/IR wavelengths, willing to ask questions and has a passion for development of the next generation tech for novel applications like space communications and lidars. An understanding of the industry trends and best practices is a major plus.

Essential Job Duties:

  • Contribute to the engineering development of unique laser designs through design analysis, component specification, and hardware assembly, integration and test
  • Coordinate and support the build, alignment, and performance characterization of laser resonators, amplifiers, non-linear frequency conversion modules and receiver components
  • Participate in customer interactions including formal technical reviews


Experience and expertise required:

  • BS Physics or Optical Engineering. Prefer 2-4 years of direct hands-on laser experience including design, building, characterizing laser systems
  • Knowledge of the laser theory and industry best practices associated with diode pumped solid state laser systems including continuous wave lasers, Q-Switched lasers, single-frequency injection locked lasers, electrical and thermal sub-systems
  • Ability to design and execute experiments validating laser system performance and correlate the results with the expected performance
  • Strong communication and documentation skills for efficient multidisciplinary communication
  • US citizenship required, Geencard holder considered on a case-by-case basis
  • Experience with modeling and simulation of laser systems industry standard tools, i.e. Matlab, MathCAD, Zemax or equivalent software tools
  • Ability to develop innovative solutions to complex laser challenges demonstrating ingenuity and creativity
