Semiconductor Laser Diode Scientist - Oxford, MA

IPG Photonics is revolutionizing the laser industry as the pioneering developer and leading producer of fiber lasers and amplifiers. Headquartered in Marlborough, MA, IPG has over 4,800 employees in more than 30 locations around the world. We aspire to work together with our employees and customers to apply light in ways that improve life.

Our mission is to develop innovative laser solutions to make the world a better place. To accomplish this mission, we are committed to attracting and retaining the best talent and an engaged and thriving workforce that drives a sustainable future for our company and society.

Working at IPG Photonics you can expect challenging projects, a motivating and friendly environment, and competitive benefits.

The Semiconductor Laser Diode Scientist will be a part of a new, cohesive group involved in the development of advanced laser modules and systems. A successful candidate will participate in all aspects of laser product development process: from conceptual design and lab prototyping, including epitaxial structure design, wafer processing, optical and electrical assembly and testing, to gathering and presentation of experimental test data, to development of robust, packaged laser diode chips, modules and systems for new product lines.

IPG will be able to offer relocation assistance to candidates within the United States that are willing to relocate to a commutable distance from our Oxford, MA offices.

Responsibilities:

• Creative design, development, and testing of laser chips prototypes as well as modules and systems including optical layouts and components.
