Great Malvern, Worcestershire, United Kingdom QinetiQ Full time

Job Title: Opportunities in QinetiQ's Laser and 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 and Optical Physics teams. As a member of our team, you will be actively involved in delivering cutting-edge research relating to some of the most extreme laser sources and extending to truly novel applications.

You will have the opportunity to hone your skills and develop deep expertise through close-working mentorship from our experts in optical physics and engineering. Our team's primary focus is driving and supporting QinetiQ's efforts in the UK Laser Directed Energy Weapon (LDEW) space.

Day-to-day, we work on technologies ranging from first-demonstration prototypes to complete systems. In the team, you will develop next-generation research ideas, design and build experimental setups, employ systems engineering principles, assemble, integrate, and test systems, develop technological strategy, and provide bid-winning support to the business.

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.

What kind of person are we looking for?

  • Is enthusiastic about photonics
  • Is able to learn whilst on the job and adapt quickly
  • Has a passion for solving problems
  • Enjoys working as part of a team
  • Is able to work independently

Are you just starting your career as a professional scientist?

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. You may have experience in areas such as Optical design, Optical modelling, Machine vision and control, Laser development, sensing, Laser test and evaluation, and much more.

Although we will aim to utilise your existing experience, you can expect ongoing development to help you excel and advance. Typical responsibilities would include:

  • Optical modelling, theory, experiments, technical reports, and presenting the results
  • Providing input to larger projects as part of a team of subject matter experts
  • Planning, development, and deployment of optical systems in the lab and in the field
  • Deployment to trial sites across the UK

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. There are also opportunities for development of managerial and technical leadership skills.

Additional responsibilities include:

  • Driving new research and ideas
  • Writing technical bids
  • Managing the technical direction of projects
  • Input to our technical strategy
  • Customer-facing delivery

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. Our Fellowship scheme recognises and develops professionals with high-level, specialist technical expertise and provides you with the means to chart your own scientific course.

We respect that highly experienced scientists can have specialised skills in perhaps a tangential niche in the varied field of optics – we would love to hear from you.

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.
