## About the Role

* Master's or Ph.D. in Optics, Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or Materials Science.
 * 8+ years in laser systems engineering, with 5+ years managing technical optical/process engineering teams.
 * Deep technical expertise in high-power industrial lasers (fiber, DPSS, ultrafast/femtosecond), beam delivery optics, and galvo scanners.
 * Proven track record in precision laser-material processing loops (e.g., semiconductor wafer slicing, ceramic/hard-material dicing, or optical annealing).
 * Proficiency with optical simulation tools (Zemax, Code V) and multiphysics modeling platforms (COMSOL, MATLAB, Python).
 * Strong background in Statistical Process Control (SPC), Design of Experiments (DOE), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA).

## Description

* Own the technical roadmap for high-power laser systems, beam shaping optics, and ultrafast laser slicing for diamond wafers.
 * Lead and scale a high-performing team of photonics engineers, optical physicists, and laser process specialists.
 * Drive the scaling and transfer of laser-material processing recipes (dicing, singulation, surface ablation) from R&D to the factory floor.
 * Partner with Equipment Engineering to design, procure, and integrate high-precision optical delivery hardware and galvo systems.
 * Maximize diamond wafer yield by resolving complex laser-material interaction excursions, thermal lens effects, and beam drift
 * Collaborate with Metrology and Automation teams to implement real-time optical sensor grids and closed-loop process controls.
