Job Title: R&D Photonics Engineering Physicist
Location: Boulder, CO
Type: Full-Time, Exempt
About the Organization:
Beyond Photonics is a design and advanced development company located in Boulder, on the Front Range of Colorado. Our focus is toward the research and development of laser-based remote sensing systems – e.g., lasers, photonics, lidar, etc. Our staff have extensive experience in a wide range of business settings—from national laboratories, to high-tech startups, to large aerospace companies. Our technical and business talents allow us to quickly and cost-effectively achieve innovative solutions to the most difficult photonic problems. See beyondphotonics.com for more information.
Job Overview:
Beyond Photonics is looking for an enthusiastic and highly-motivated individual to join our team and contribute to the development of advanced laser-based remote sensing systems. Though growing, Beyond Photonics is now a small organization, so the position requires the ability and desire to support a wide variety of technical and business development activities.
Responsibilities Include:
- Lead analysis and design of advanced lasers and laser-based remote sensing systems.
- Perform prototype assembly, testing, and optimization of lasers, photonics, and lidar systems.
- Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and optical engineers in the development, assembly, testing, and characterization of optical, mechanical and electronic assemblies.
- Design and fabricate specialized or modified opto-mechanical, electro-optic, and electrical components.
- Author and co-author of proposals, reports, papers, and presentations.
- Support process development and support definition of new processes to develop prototype products, document prototype process development.
- Setup and operation of laboratory equipment such as optical and electrical test equipment, microscopes, environmental chambers, chillers, etc.
Desired Experience and Skills:
- PhD degree in Physics or Engineering from an accredited university with strong emphasis on lasers or photonics.
- More than 2 years of relevant experience beyond PhD degree – postdoc or industry.
- Demonstrated experience through publications or patents in the development of advanced laser-based or photonic systems.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Superior mathematical-based analytical and trouble shooting skills.
- Ability to work well in small Engineering development teams – typically 3-5 team members.
