  • Improve kinetics models and develop new models based on experimental results and digging into past literature
  • Utilize and improve existing laser oscillator and amplifier simulation tools (Python, MATLAB)
  • Incorporate input from stakeholders to design new electron-beam-pumped excimer laser oscillators and amplifiers in collaboration with other disciplines
  • Contribute to our internal suite of simulation tools and knowledge base with clear documentation
  • Think outside the box to identify and solve unique challenges involving big lasers!
  • Education: Master’s degree in physics, optics, electrical engineering, chemistry, or related field
  • Experience: 6+ years of experience in the fields of optical physics and lasers
  • Expertise in laser physics (rate equations, gain dynamics, optical propagation, etc.)
  • Scientific computing proficiency using Python (preferred), MATLAB, C++, etc.
  • Strong foundation of optical physics and experience modeling non-Gaussian beam propagation
  • Demonstrated ability to successfully design laser systems
  • Experience working with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists
  • Excellent verbal and written communication, including documentation of technical results
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee of granted asylum
  • Ph.D. in physics, optics, electrical engineering, chemistry, or related field
  • 8+ years of experience in the fields of optical physics and lasers
  • Demonstrated ability to design high-intensity and/or high-complexity lasers
  • Hands-on experience building or using high-intensity/high-energy lasers, excimer lasers, or other gas lasers
  • Experience modeling excimer lasers, other gas lasers, chemical/plasma kinetics, or amplified spontaneous emission
  • Laser oscillator expertise, including mode competition, unstable resonators, and injection seeding
  • Demonstrated successful collaboration on code with a team
  • Working knowledge of nonlinear optics
