Want to take ultrafast laser technology from the lab into real-world systems?

Enjoy getting hands-on with femtosecond and picosecond lasers rather than staying purely theoretical?

Looking for a role where you can influence how next-generation laser systems are designed, built and optimised?

Our client is growing its laser development team and is looking for an Ultrafast Laser Scientist to work on the development of advanced short-pulse laser systems.

This is a hands-on opportunity combining laser physics, experimental development, modelling and system optimisation, with a strong focus on turning advanced concepts into robust, repeatable technology.

Why This Role is Great

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Design, build, align and optimise ultrafast laser systems
• Work with picosecond and femtosecond architectures, including CPA-based systems
• Characterise laser performance and investigate opportunities for improvement
• Develop models of laser and amplifier behaviour using tools such as Python, MATLAB or LabVIEW

About You

Our client would love to speak with people who have experience across areas such as:

• Ultrafast, short-pulse, high-power or solid-state lasers
• Building, aligning and troubleshooting complex optical systems
• Laser diagnostics and optical characterisation

A background in physics, photonics, optical engineering or a related areawould be particularly relevant, whether developed through a PhD, industry or substantial hands-on laser experience.

You don’t need to tick every box. If your experience is transferable and you’re excited about developing sophisticated ultrafast laser systems, we’d still like to hear from you.
