Job Description
Fiber Laser Scientist
While working as a Fiber Laser Scientist at Fibertek you will lead the design and development integration and test of advanced fiber laser systems typically with performance requirements beyond the stateoftheart. Fibertek is a leader in the design development and delivery of advanced laser systems and technologies for military and aerospace applications.
Your Job
We are looking for and experienced and motivated fiber laser scientist or engineer to join a multidisciplinary team and lead the design and demonstration of advanced laser systems. Example focus missions include spacebased laser communications lidar for tactical defense applications earthsensing lidar and navigational lidars for planetary and docking missions. Fiberteks engineering teams simultaneously tackle laser optical performance beyond stateoftheart while engineering systems for performance on challenging platforms with limited size mass and power and over stressing vibration thermal and/or radiation conditions. Delivered systems make a national impact to customers at NASA and throughout the defense community. The workload will at times include multiple concurrent projects with a mix of short duration research programs and longer duration technology maturation programs resulting in a work culture that is teamoriented intellectually stimulating and consistently rewarding.
- Lead the engineering development of unique laser designs through modeling fiber laser performance design analysis component specification and hardware assembly integration and test
- Coordinate and support the build alignment and performance characterization of fiber lasers including multistage amplifiers phase & amplitude modulation implementation spectral and coherent beam combining
- Coordinate and perform formal acceptance and qualification testing
- Participate in customer interactions including formal technical reviews
Required Skills and Experience
To exceed in this Fiber Laser Scientist role youll need the below expertise and experience:- MS or PhD in Physics or Optical Engineering w/ a minimum of 5 years of direct handson fiber laser experience including designing building characterizing laser systems
- Knowledge of the laser theory and industry best practices associated with fiber laser systems including continuous wave lasers pulsed high peak power fiber advanced fiber architectures singlefrequency injection locked lasers low frequency noise lasers electrical and thermal subsystems.
- Expertise in laser physics of fiber lasers and amplifiers including ytterbium erbium and/or thulium gain materials.
- Familiarity with relevant nonlinear processes and impacts to laser performance. Examples include Stimulated Brillouin Scattering FourWave Mixing Stimulated Raman Scattering and Transverse Modulational Instability.
- Foundational understanding of fiberoptic components including types of fibers pump lasers couplers modulators isolators modefield adapters polarization components and others.
- Knowledge of tools for modeling fiber laser performance such as Matlab RP Power Fiber or equivalent software
- Ability to design and execute experiments validating laser system performance and correlate the results with the expected performance
- Strong communication and documentation skills for efficient multidisciplinary communication
- US citizenship required
