CT19
Optical Design Engineer - Isotope Seperation
CT19, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States, 37830
Overview
We are looking for an Optical Design Engineer to join a USA-based developer of a patented advanced laser technology. This is a great opportunity to be part of a world-class nuclear technical team, with work contributing to growing areas such as quantum computing and the next generation of nuclear reactors. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in designing high-performance optics/laser systems and the ability to translate innovative concepts into scalable, reliable solutions. The position requires the ability to simulate the propagation of free-space laser beams and the optics/opto-mechanics required to shape beam caustics and beam profile. Responsibilities
Design high-performance optics and laser systems for isotope separation projects. Simulate propagation of free-space laser beams and analyze beam caustics and beam profiles. Translate innovative concepts into scalable, reliable optical solutions. Contribute to the development of cutting-edge laser technology within a nuclear tech team. Qualifications
Majored in Optics, Physics or a related field. Master’s degree with 5+ years of work experience or Bachelor’s degree with 10+ years of work experience. Solid understanding of optics/laser theory and optical engineering. Proficient with optical design software (e.g., CodeV, Zemax, TracePro, and/or Fred). Hands-on experience with laser alignment, optical metrology, and diagnostics. Familiarity with basic principles of lasers and laser system design. Experience in designing stable laser resonators and understanding their impact on beam quality and caustics in free-space propagation. Solid understanding of polarized laser beams and how to control polarization. Details
Location: Knoxville, TN. Seniority level: Mid-Senior level. Employment type: Full-time. Industry: Research Services. We’re unlocking community knowledge in a new way. Experts add insights directly into each article, started with the help of AI.
