About this role
Salary: £42,000 - 42,000 per year
Requirements
- Practical, hands-on experience working with lasers and laser-based machinery, ideally in an engineering, manufacturing, laboratory, or R&D environment.
- Experience with laser alignment, laser applications, or using laser systems to process materials.
- CO2 laser experience is highly advantageous.
- A practical understanding of complete laser systems and machinery, rather than experience limited to manufacturing laser sources or components.
- A degree in Physics or a related technical discipline is advantageous, particularly for graduates with relevant practical laser experience.
Responsibilities
- Work on practical laser applications and collaborate with end-users to tailor laser systems and processes to specific requirements.
- Support the commissioning and alignment of optical machines, ensuring systems are correctly set up and operational.
- Design and carry out experiments to establish suitable laser process conditions for customer requirements.
- Carry out laser alignment and work with laser beams in a practical, hands-on environment.
- Work with CO2 lasers and micromachining systems to support R&D activities, customer samples, and process development.
