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
A 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
