Enigma People Solutions recruits Laser Design Engineers for some of the leading manufacturers and developers of Laser products in across the UK.Our clients develop laser systems that are used in a wide variety of markets including renewable energy, microelectronics, fundamental research, life sciences and medicine.The engineers sought tend to be highly collaborative and detail-oriented engineer who are keen to be vital performers in excellent R&D teams and who are keen to lead cutting-edge laser systems design.The roles typically include involvement through the entire product lifecycle from feasibility experiments to production.Responsibilities will include:
  • Conducting technical feasibility studies in the design ultrashort pulse fibre lasers and their use in laser systems.
  • Building, assessing, and qualifying prototypes based on these feasibility studies.
  • Troubleshooting laser performance issues.
  • Providing detailed and technically thorough reports/presentations to the engineering team.
  • Providing technical support to the laser manufacturing teams.
  • Working within a multi-disciplined engineering team to design laser systems.
  • Collaborating with local and international experts
  • Defining specifications and sourcing of laser parts and components
Education and Experience:Essential Skills
  • Degree or higher or equivalent in a solid state or fibre laser-based area or demonstrable experience of working in a laser manufacturing or development environment.
  • Initiative to seek innovative solutions to problems
  • Excellent communication and people skills with ability to work closely and collaboratively with colleagues
  • Clear understanding of the principles of optics and lasers
  • Demonstrable practical ability in the creation of breadboard laser systems or of assembling and optimising laser systems in a manufacturing environment.
  • Experienced in the use of test equipment, both optical (power meters, spectrometers, auto-correlators, etc.) and electrical (oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analysers, etc.).
  • Experienced in the use of optical modelling software packages (for example Zemax) and/or the development of optical models via custom code.
  • General understanding of electronics and control systems.
  • Ability to work on multiple tasks and manage priorities.
  • Ability to work from general instructions for new assignments either in isolation or as part of a wider team.
Additional Skills
  • A knowledge of ultrashort laser pulses, mode-locking techniques, optical nonlinearities, and dispersion is desirable
  • Ability to program in Python for data analysis and for modelling systems
  • A knowledge of control systems and a familiarity with circuit diagrams to debug complex system issues
  • Experience of leadership through an R+D project
