Software Engineer

Software Engineer – Algorithms, Automation & Vision Systems


About the Role

We are seeking an experienced  Software Engineer to join our cross-disciplinary team driving the future of photonics and intelligent automation. In this role, you will develop advanced algorithms, machine vision systems, and precision control software to enable high-performance manufacturing, optical testing, and smart device operation.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, real-time control, and deep-tech photonics, contributing directly to the software backbone of cutting-edge laser systems, FBG fabrication, and optical inspection platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement laser-based micro/nano-fabrication systems, including femtosecond and picosecond laser processing.

  • Perform high-precision FBG inscription and post-processing using custom laser setups.

  • Conduct laser beam alignment, shaping, and stability optimization across complex optical paths.

  • Integrate nanomaterials (e.g., thin films, 2D materials) into photonic devices, and characterize their optical properties.

  • Develop process protocols, automation routines, and quality control standards for consistent fabrication.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on product development, from prototyping to scalable manufacturing.

  • Maintain lab equipment, document procedures, and ensure laser safety and compliance.


Qualifications

  • Master’s or PhD in Optics, Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or Materials Science.

  • Strong hands-on experience in laser fabrication, FBG processing, and optical system design.

  • Familiarity with nanofabrication techniques, optical metrology, and laser safety standards.

  • Experience with beam delivery systems, optical simulation (e.g., Zemax, COMSOL), and control software (e.g., LabVIEW, Python).

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

  • Ability to work independently and within a collaborative, fast-paced R&D environment.


Preferred Experience (Bonus)

  • Experience with femtosecond laser systems and fiber alignment stages.

  • Knowledge of photonic integration, waveguide fabrication, or ultrafast optics.

  • Background in materials characterization (SEM, AFM, Raman, etc.).

What We Offer

  • A unique opportunity to work at the intersection of

  • Access to state-of-the-art laser labs and fabrication facilities.

  • Collaborative team culture with global research and commercial impact.
