Want to take ultrafast laser technology from the lab into real-world systems?
Enjoy getting hands-on with femtosecond and picosecond lasers rather than staying purely theoretical?
Looking for a role where you can influence how next-generation laser systems are designed, built and optimised?
Our client is growing its laser development team and is looking for an Ultrafast Laser Scientist to work on the development of advanced short-pulse laser systems.
This is a hands-on opportunity combining laser physics, experimental development, modelling and system optimisation, with a strong focus on turning advanced concepts into robust, repeatable technology.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why This Role is Great
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Design, build, align and optimise ultrafast laser systems
- Work with picosecond and femtosecond architectures, including CPA-based systems
- Characterise laser performance and investigate opportunities for improvement
- Develop models of laser and amplifier behaviour using tools such as Python, MATLAB or LabVIEW
About You
Our client would love to speak with people who have experience across areas such as:
- Ultrafast, short-pulse, high-power or solid-state lasers
- Building, aligning and troubleshooting complex optical systems
- Laser diagnostics and optical characterisation
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
A background in physics, photonics, optical engineering or a related area would be particularly relevant, whether developed through a PhD, industry or substantial hands-on laser experience.
You don’t need to tick every box. If your experience is transferable and you’re excited about developing sophisticated ultrafast laser systems, we’d still like to hear from you.
Interested?
Humand Talent Solutions and our client are committed to creating an inclusive recruitment process. Applications are welcomed from people of all backgrounds, and reasonable adjustments can be made throughout the hiring process.
