Senior/ Principal Photonics Engineer

Devon

Salary: £65,000 - £70,000(DOE)

A global leader in optical design is looking for several new Photonics Engineers to join their rapidly growing R&D team developing products for a multitude of industries.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop world leading fibre-optics and photonic components and devices
• Being apart of a team that shapes a product development strategy that drives business growth and ensures market leading status
• Collaborating with a talented multidisciplinary team, including mechanical and electronic design engineers, product engineers, and technicians.
• Getting hands-on with prototype builds-this means working with fusion rigs, fibre-optic splicing, mechanical/electrical assembly, and opto-electronic testing.
• Creating and running test plans to make sure components are fully functional and environmental reliability.
• Supporting design tweaks and managing engineering changes to improve our existing products.

Qualifications:

• Academic Background:A 2:1 or above in Optics, Physics, or Engineering is essential, and if you've got a PhD in a related area, that's even better!
• Technical Expertise:You should have a good understanding and experience in optical fibres (single-mode, polarisation-maintaining, multi-mode, PCF, and multi-core) and their unique properties. Hands-on experience with glass processing techniques like fibre optic tapering and fusion is desirable.
• Testing Skills:You'll need to be comfortable with optical testing processes and equipment, with a strong understanding of how to test fibres for performance and durability.
• Problem-Solving:A natural problem solver, you'll thrive on analysing and addressing complex technical challenges.
• Process Improvement:Experience designing engineering techniques to maximise yield, reliability, and performance is a big advantage.
• Organisation & Drive:Well-organised with an eye for detail, you can handle tight deadlines with ease. You're also self-motivate and proactive
• Communication:You're confident communicating at all levels, both written and face-to-face.

If you are interested in the position and think you have the skills required as a Photonics Engineer, please don't hesitate to apply.
