Laser Scientist | DiPOLE Systems
DiPOLE Systems | Harwell Campus, Didcot
At DiPOLE Systems, we’re developing next-generation high-power laser systems for advanced manufacturing, energy and defence applications. Following our recent seed round, we’re expanding our engineering and science team as we scale from prototype systems to deployable products.
We’re looking for a Laser Scientist to support the development of our next-generation laser systems — from concept and modelling through to build, test and manufacture.
What you’ll do
- Support laser system design from concept through prototype testing and optimisation
- Build, align and integrate optical assemblies, laser subsystems and test setups
- Test, characterise and analyse laser performance, producing clear technical recommendations
- Develop models and test plans to support subsystem and system validation
- Work with engineering teams on design reviews, documentation and technology transfer into product programmes
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.
What we’re looking for
- A background in physics, photonics, optical engineering or a related discipline, gained through a PhD, equivalent industrial experience, or substantial hands-on laser development experience
- Good understanding of laser physics and optical systems
- Hands-on experience building, aligning and troubleshooting laser systems
- Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams
Why join us?
- Join early and help shape a venture-backed deep-tech company as we move from prototype to product
- Develop your capability across laser design, experimental build, product validation and system-level engineering, with close support from senior scientists and engineers
- Technology already proven in real-world environments
- Based at Harwell Campus, one of the UK’s leading science and engineering hubs
