We are currently developing a 50 to 100+W commercial blue laser product that will focus to a small point and will be the first in the industry with a narrow wavelength band. In order to scale the optical power, we use geometric, polarization and wavelength-based beam combining techniques. To minimize the focus spot size of the beam, we designed the laser with a specialized optical system that requires the optics to be positioned to sub-micron accuracy. We’re looking for talented people with lab experience, who can communicate well and work as part of a team to reach these goals.

• Bring ideas from concept to production using an understanding of physics, engineering, and creativity
• Understand methods used to position lenses in front of a laser diode, make improvements, and adapt methodologies to the needs of the product
• Design and construct laboratory optical measurement stations. Use these setups to make measurements, as well as training others to do so. Report outcome of measurements verbally and in writing
• Design and construct instruments to characterize optical and mechanical laser performance
• Initiate contact with vendors to select the best products, as well as to troubleshoot performance
• Understand applications for laser products, such as materials processing, in order to optimize performance

• PhD, ABD (PhD unfinished), current PhD candidate or candidates with other outstanding achievements with a similar level of education preferred in one of the following fields: physics, experimental physics, applied physics, technical physics, optoelectronics, optics, engineering physics, photonics, laser physics, or a related field
• Work experience: 2-3 years in R&D laboratory (or equivalent) preferred. (Excludes internships and research performed during and before Master’s)
• Ability to familiarize oneself quickly with an idea in physics or engineering and apply it, e.g., properties of adhesives relevant to an application
• Work both independently and on a team
• Ability to design basic parts for fixtures or components in CAD software
• Communicate ideas through writing, research an open-ended topic to form basic conclusions
• Possess a high level of analytical thinking
• Language: Ability to communicate clearly in both spoken and written English language. Preference to be able to communicate in Polish

• Develop your career in laser and photonics technology by gaining exposure to the industry in a high-tech company
• Work in a well-developed laboratory environment equipped with instrumentation for characterization of laser systems
• Have a high level of independence and the ability to plan work for yourself
• Be part of an R&D team with vision and determination and experience challenges including helping to grow a thriving tech startup
• Work in a mix of physics, mechanics, optics, engineering, and business
• Perform R&D work for a commercial laser product, with a focus on beam combination for power scaling
• Work alongside and receive mentorship from experienced senior engineers and business developers
• Salary commensurate with abilities and responsibilities
