Diamond Search Recruitment Ltd
Principle Photonic Engineer
Job Location
Bradley Valley, United Kingdom
Job Description
Diamond Search Recruitment is thrilled to represent our client in recruiting for a Principal Photonics Engineer. Global leader in optical design, testing, and manufacturing, providing cutting-edge optical systems and components for demanding applications. We are seeking a Principal Photonics Engineer to join our dynamic team based in Devon.
The ideal candidate will possess a diverse skill set and work within the optics and fibre-optic R&D team. You will be a technical expert, with a comprehensive understanding of optical fibres and their properties, experienced with optical fibre fusion and tapering methods. Leading on the development of novel fibre-optic based products including high-reliability components and devices for the industrial, aerospace & defence (A&D) and bio-photonics market segments. You will be capable of working under your own initiative – a self-starter, able to progress projects and trouble-shoot problems with little supervision.
The role offers a wide variety of activity, from involvement in initial product concepts, product development and customer interaction. This is an exciting opportunity to work within a multidisciplinary and cross-functional team developing new, cutting-edge products for applications in terrestrial and space-based optical communications, industrial sensing and biomedical imaging, which will continue to drive and deliver sustained revenue growth.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Design and develop world leading fibre-optic and photonic components and devices using appropriate design tools and experimental test
* Develop and enhance our fused fibre-optic coupler products
* Contribute to cohesive product development strategy which provides the site with the market offering to meet business growth objectives
* Work within a multidisciplinary team including mechanical and electronic design engineers as well as product engineers and technicians
* Active involvement in prototype builds – including operating fusion rigs, fibre-optic splicing, mechanical / electrical assembly and opto-electronic test
* Develop and execute test plans for functional and environmental qualification of components for high-reliability applications
* Support design modification and engineering changes to existing products
* Present results clearly and concisely for both internal and external customers
* Deliver projects to plan and within budget constraints
Your skills, attributes and qualifications will include:
* Degree in Engineering or Physics, PhD in relevant area preferred
* Comprehensive understanding of optical fibres and their properties, including single-mode SM, PM, MM, PCF, Multi-Core
* Experience in glass processing techniques e.g. fibre optic tapering and fusion processes
* Knowledge and experience in fibre-optics, photonics and associated materials properties.
* Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to analyse complex technical and materials challenges
* In depth knowledge of optical testing equipment and processes in relation to optical fibres.
* Knowledge of reliability issues associated optical fibre and components, including understanding of proof testing, harsh condition aging, crack growth etc. and familiarity with wear-out modelling, FIT rates
* Ability to devise engineering process techniques aimed at high yield, reliability and performance requirements
* Well organised, with the ability to hit tight deadlines, while maintaining attention to detail
* Driven, self-motived and autonomous with a ‘Can-do’ attitude
* Must be able to communicate at all levels both written and oral
