The ideal candidate is a collaborative problem solver with a strong technical foundation, hands-on laboratory experience, and a passion for advancing new technologies in a fast-paced R&D environment.

Essential duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Design, conduct, and optimize experiments to support the research and development of optical fiber technologies, manufacturing processes, and measurement systems.
Develop, build, and improve laboratory test setups, including optical and fiber-based measurement systems.
Analyze experimental data, interpret results, and prepare clear, accurate technical documentation and reports.
Troubleshoot laboratory equipment, measurement systems, and manufacturing processes to identify and resolve technical issues.
Support the development, operation, and continuous improvement of research fabrication processes and equipment.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve project objectives and support company research initiatives.
Develop and maintain software tools or automation solutions for data collection, experiment control, and laboratory efficiency.
Maintain organized documentation, experimental records, and technical procedures.
Ensure laboratory equipment and work areas are maintained in a safe, clean, and organized condition.
Stay current with emerging technologies and continuously expand technical knowledge to support innovation.
Perform other duties as assigned in support of business and project objectives.

Master's degree or higher in Physics, Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Strong understanding of optics, optical systems, and laboratory measurement techniques.
Experience designing, conducting, and analyzing laboratory experiments.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C, or similar languages used for automation, data acquisition, and equipment control.
Experience interfacing laboratory instrumentation with computer-based control and measurement systems is preferred.
Knowledge of engineering principles related to mechanical systems, motion control, or fluid dynamics is a plus.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving abilities.
Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to clearly document technical work.
Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and commitment to producing high-quality work.

General Expectations:

Demonstrate effective communications (verbal, written) skills
Proficient with MS Office Word and Excel
Maintain discretion when working with confidential and proprietary information
Strict adherence to Company safety policies and procedures
Conform to all aspects of Lightera's “Standards of Conduct” document

Employees are expected to serve as role models for safe work practices and behaviors. This includes following established health and safety policies and procedures, maintaining a clean, organized work area, wearing, and properly storing all personal protective equipment (PPE), and actively engaging as a safety conscious worker with personal safety and wellness as a priority.
