## About the role

The Laser Systems Specialist will own small-batch build and assembly support for optical subsystems and will perform physical installation of laser systems across a range of platforms — including optical tables, rack cabinets, and custom enclosures. Many of the components involved are long-lead, fragile, and high-value; this role demands the highest level of precision and physical discipline.

## What they're looking for

- S., B.S., or equivalent hands-on technical training in optics, photonics, precision assembly, or a related field
- Demonstrated experience assembling and aligning free-space optical systems (mirrors, lenses, beam splitters, waveplates, AOMs/EOMs, or similar)
- Advanced PM fiber splicing expertise: fusion splicing, PM axis alignment, loss measurement, and splicer qualification
- Broader fiber-optic proficiency: connectorization, FC/APC/PC polishing, fiber routing, and power measurement
- Proven ability to handle fragile, high-value, and long-lead optical components with zero-defect discipline
- Ability to work from engineering drawings, optical layouts, and assembly procedures independently
