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
