Job Title: Opportunities in QinetiQ's Laser & Optical Physics teams

Location: Malvern, Worcestershire

Package: Competitive Salary + Benefits

Role Type: Full-time / Permanent

Role ID: SF17745

At QinetiQ, we are seeking enthusiastic and talented individuals to join our Laser & Optical Physics teams. As a subject matter expert, you will be actively involved in delivering cutting-edge research relating to extreme laser sources and novel applications.

Through your experience of optical systems and transferable skills, you will have the opportunity to hone your skills and develop deep expertise through close-working mentorship from our experts in optical physics & engineering.

Our team's primary focus is driving and supporting QinetiQ's efforts in the UK Laser Directed Energy Weapon (LDEW) space. You will work on technologies ranging from first-demonstration prototypes to complete systems like Dragonfire.

Varied career paths are a part of life at QinetiQ. You could specialise in a key skill or particular domain, or work on systems across the business. With increasing demand for Laser and Optical Scientists across our business, your transferable skills and experience are highly desired.

Looking for your first role and have some experience in Lasers and Optics? Your talents may be a good match for our team. We recruit scientists with transferable skillsets and areas of application.

Opportunities for mid-career Scientists

If you're a mid-career professional working in industry or academia, you'll be applying your expertise right from day one. To enable you to develop further, expert mentoring is provided, alongside self-development and on-the-job training.

Opportunities for highly experienced Scientists

As a highly experienced Scientist, you can expect to directly drive and support QinetiQ's strategy in LDEW and take on more advanced technical direction responsibilities, with support as you become familiar with the QinetiQ offering.

Why we're different

Our people. Our employees make the critical difference to customers by providing unique answers which combine technical expertise, deep domain knowledge and rigorous independent thinking.

Our independence. QinetiQ is not a manufacturer, and we stand apart from the supply chain. It's our rigorous independent thinking that helps our customers achieve their goals.

Our breadth of capability. Our customers face challenges that define the modern world. They know we are uniquely placed to understand these issues and work with them to ensure the success of their mission or reach their objectives.

Our relationships with customers. Our prized possession is trust. Customers around the world rely on the drive and dedication of our people to help them meet their goals – often in environments where there is no second chance for failure.

Applicants that already hold the appropriate level of vetting may be able to transfer it upon appointment, subject to approval. A number of roles are also subject to restrictions on access to information that mean factors such as nationality, previous nationalities held and the country in which you were born may have an effect on the roles that you can be employed in.
