Laser Application Engineer- Oxford based


We are looking for a highly skilled and hands-on engineer or scientist to join our busy Contract Micromachining Laboratory team. In this role you will be developing laser micromachining processes for our customers as well as running production work for them. You will be working with our state-of-the-art laser systems which have wavelengths from the UV to the IR and pulse durations of femtosecond, picosecond and nanosecond as well as advanced motion control systems. We are seeking candidates with practical experience in laser materials processing or using lasers in a manufacturing environment, whether that be at university or in industry


The role will suit a graduate who is keen to develop a career in hi-tech industry. The role is focused on operating our in-house state-of-the-art laser micromachining systems and also developing new processes.

Developing processes and techniques for specific applications and customer requirements.
