Your Role
Focused Energy's Austin laser team is building and commissioning a kJ-class laser system. We are seeking a Senior Laser Engineer to be the technical anchor for coherent optical beam smoothing (SSD) in Austin. This person will turn laser front end requirements into commissioned, operating systems. You will own the fiber-based front end of our coherent 2DSSD set up, and will progressively take ownership of the free-space beam smoothing, amplification, and frequency conversion portions of the system as the program matures. This is a hands-on, on-site role at the center of a cutting-edge laser facility, working alongside senior laser scientists and engineers.
What You'll Do
Own the fiber-based front end laser
