In this role, you will play a key part in transforming advanced ultrafast fiber technology from prototype systems into products for industrial and scientific applications. You will work at the intersection of laser physics, nonlinear optics, systems engineering, and product development. You will be responsible for optical design, experimental validation and prototyping. Our mechanical design, electronics and software engineering teams will support you in developing a robust, market-ready product. Your Tasks:- Development of ultrafast fiber lasers operating at 1μm, 1.5 μm and 2 μm- Development of fiber amplifiers and supercontinuum sources- Characterization of light sources, e.g. measurement of pulse duration, optical spectra, phase noise and timing jitter.- Technology scouting You are an Expert in:- Ultrafast high power fiber lasers/amplifiers such as EDFA, YDFA and CPA- Nonlinear fiber optics and pulse propagation- Ideally in numerical modeling/simulation of ultrafast fiber oscillators/amplifiers or ultrafast pulses propagating inside the optical fiber Education and Experience:- MSc degree in Physics/Laser Technology/Optical Technology with at least 4 years of relevant professional experience- Fluent in written and spoken English and eager to learn German.- PhD is highly welcome. Working on our cutting-edge technology will give you an unique opportunity to visit international conferences, collaborate with well-known research groups and publish scientific results. We Offer:- Diverse, fast-paced work environment in a young and dynamic team- Position with room for creativity- Flat hierarchies and quick decision processes- High spirited and high-tech environment in the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld
