Job Description

SENIOR OPTICAL LASER SPECIALIST

WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

• €35,000 – €45,000
• North Vicenza, Italy
• Permanent
• Hands-on R&D environment
• Direct impact on laser system performance

JOB DETAILS

This role sits within an R&D environment focused on laser-based systems used in high-precision industrial applications.

The focus is on optical performance, testing, and validation — working directly with laser systems in a lab-based setting.

You will act as the internal specialist for optical setup, testing, and optimisation, ensuring laser systems perform reliably when integrated into real-world applications.

This is a practical, hands-on role, not a purely theoretical or simulation-based position.

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and optimise laser optical setups and beam paths
• Work hands-on with optical tables, test benches, and lab instrumentation
• Perform alignment, calibration, and validation of optical systems
• Define and execute testing procedures for laser performance
• Troubleshoot and improve system behaviour through experimental work
• Support integration of validated optical systems into wider platforms
• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure performance in real applications

ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE

• Hands-on experience with laser optical systems
• Experience working in lab environments (optical tables / test benches)
• Strong understanding of beam behaviour, alignment, and calibration
• Practical troubleshooting and experimental mindset
• Experience validating and testing optical performance

QUALIFICATIONS

• Degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optics, Photonics or a related field
• Extensive hands-on experience in the design, optimisation and troubleshooting of laser optical systems
• Strong practical experience working with optical tables, test benches and laboratory instrumentation
• Proven ability to align, calibrate and validate laser and optical systems in real-world environments
• Solid understanding of beam behaviour, optical paths and system performance optimisation
• Experience translating theoretical optical principles into practical, working systems
