Job Description

Job Description

Enjoy working with lasers but wish you could spend more time developing new technology rather than simply maintaining existing equipment?

\n

\n

We're working with an innovative US technology company developing advanced infrared gas laser systems for a new approach to uranium isotope enrichment.

\n

\n

They're looking for a hands-on Laser Technician / Engineer to join their growing R&D team, supporting the development, testing and optimisation of laser technology that could play an important role in the future of nuclear energy.

\n

\n

This isn't a role where you'll spend your days behind a desk. You'll be in the laboratory, working directly with laser systems, solving technical challenges and helping turn experimental technology into something commercially viable.

\n

\n

What makes this opportunity different?

\n
    \n
  • Work on genuinely innovative technology. Apply your laser expertise to advanced isotope enrichment, an important part of the nuclear fuel cycle.
  • \n
  • Stay hands-on. Assemble, align, calibrate, test and troubleshoot sophisticated infrared gas laser systems.
  • \n
  • Get involved in R&D. Support experimental setups, investigate performance issues and contribute to ongoing system improvements.
  • \n
  • Take ownership. Play an important role in laboratory laser safety, including serving as the Laser Safety Officer.
  • \n
  • See the impact of your work. Work alongside engineers and scientists developing technology with real-world commercial applications.
  • \n
\n

\n

What experience would make you a good fit?

\n

\n

You'll need practical experience working with lasers, optics or related precision equipment, whether gained in an industrial or laboratory environment.

\n

\n

An understanding of laser alignment, optical diagnostics, calibration and troubleshooting will be particularly valuable.

\n

\n

Experience with CO₂ lasers, infrared gas lasers or optical testing would be especially relevant, although direct isotope enrichment experience isn't required.

\n

\n

A technical degree would be useful, but equivalent hands-on laboratory experience is equally welcome.

\n

\n

Please note: This position requires US citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance.

\n

\n

Interested?

\n

If you enjoy working directly with laser technology and would like to apply your experience to something new, I'd be happy to tell you more.

\n

\n

Apply directly, send me a message or reach out for a confidential conversation.

\n
