The posting

Our client is seeking an experienced Solid-State Laser Systems Technician to support the hands-on assembly, integration, alignment, and testing of advanced solid-state laser systems in a research laboratory environment. This role works closely with laser, mechanical, and electrical engineers to execute builds based on verbal direction, sketches, and evolving documentation, particularly during early-stage prototype development. As systems mature, the technician will also support formalized build and acceptance testing for deliverable hardware intended for operation in demanding environments. The ideal candidate is a senior technician who is comfortable working in a research setting, can independently execute complex optical builds, and brings strong workmanship and lab discipline without owning the underlying laser architecture or design direction. Key Responsibilities Independently assemble, integrate, and align solid-state laser systems and subsystems Build and align laser resonators, amplifiers, and non-linear frequency conversion modules Support integration of lasers into mechanically and environmentally robust packaged systems Execute optical alignment and troubleshooting with minimal supervision Support early-stage prototype builds where procedures and designs may evolve Perform performance characterization and diagnostic testing under engineering guidance Execute formal acceptance and qualification testing for deliverable systems Interpret verbal instructions, sketches, and partial documentation and translate them into high-quality hardware Identify workmanship issues, integration risks, or build-related improvements and communicate them to the technical team Accurately document configurations, alignment settings, and test results Maintain lab organization, tooling, and laser safety practices Serve as an experienced lab resource for best practices and informal mentoring Requirements 5+ years of hands-on laboratory experience with solid-state laser systems or high-power optical assemblies Demonstrated experience supporting R&D or prototype laser development programs Strong background in optical alignment, resonator setup, and laser diagnostics Proven ability to execute complex builds based on verbal guidance and evolving requirements High attention to detail, workmanship, and documentation Education Bachelor’s degree, Associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent hands-on laboratory experience (Relevant experience is valued over formal degree.) Desired Qualifications Experience with environmentally ruggedized or packaged laser systems Experience with non-linear optics and frequency conversion (e.g., SHG, OPO, OPA) Experience performing acceptance or qualification testing Experience working in small research teams or defense / government-funded programs Comfort serving as a “go-to” lab technician for complex optical builds

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
