Join us in developing one of the most promising manufacturing technologies for the future of photonics and semiconductor packaging.

LASING Microsystems is looking for a highly motivated engineer or physicist to join our R&D; team and lead the development of Selective Laser-Induced Etching (SLE), an emerging ultrafast laser technology capable of creating complex three-dimensional microstructures inside glass with accuracy down to the micron.

This technology is opening new opportunities in integrated photonics, photonic packaging, quantum technologies, semiconductor manufacturing, micro-optics and microfluidics, and is expected to play an increasingly important role in the next generation of optical and electronic devices. The project focuses on bringing this technology from cutting-edge research into robust industrial manufacturing solutions.

The selected candidate will join LASING's R&D; team and will also have the opportunity to pursue a fully funded Industrial PhD in collaboration with the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).

What you will do

- Develop ultrafast laser processes for advanced 3D glass microfabrication.
- Design and optimise laser processing strategies using femtosecond lasers.
- Work with advanced optical systems, beam shaping and precision motion platforms.
- Fabricate and characterise photonic components such as fibre alignment structures and micro-optics.
- Develop new industrial capabilities for next-generation laser processing platforms.




- Collaborate with leading researchers in applied photonics.
- Publish scientific results and participate in international conferences.
