Salary:

Laser Engineer

Wilmington, NC | Global Laser Enrichment (GLE)
Full-Time | On-Site
Q-Clearance Required or Eligible


At Global Laser Enrichment (GLE), were building first-of-a-kind technology that advances the future of uranium enrichment. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, and working closely with the various engineering teams, the Laser Engineer is responsible for achieving and maintaining optimum performance for GLE pulsed CO2 lasers and associated subsystems. The Laser Engineer will work closely with other Laser Engineering personnel as well as Operations, Process Physics, Mechanical Engineering, and other staff to integrate their work into larger program goals supporting commercialization of Global Laser Enrichments technology.


Why Join GLE?

  • Support first-of-a-kind nuclear technology.
  • Collaborate across engineering disciplines to solve complex integration challenges.
  • Contribute to a mission-driven organization grounded in safety, quality, and innovation.
  • Competitive compensation, strong benefits, and long-term growth opportunities.


What Youll Do

  • Play a key role in the introduction of novel laser-based isotopic separation technology into the uranium enrichment market using state-of-the-art tools, facilities, and technology.
  • Design and implement improved components for existing lasers to optimize performance of GLE laser systems.
  • Characterize and optimize critical parameters in GLE laser systems using optical characterization methods.
  • Lead projects to define, procure, install, and test novel optical systems to significantly improve the performance and cost effectiveness of GLEs separation technology.
  • Establish and maintain analytical models describing physics of interest in pursuit of project goals.
  • Support pursuit of creative manufacturing solutions for optical and mechanical components.
  • Support laser operations as needed.
    Obtain and maintain up-to-date expertise in the fields essential to the GLE laser technology.


Environmental Health & Safety (EHS)

  • Immediately report any safety or environmental incidents, unsafe acts/conditions, and near misses.

  • B.S. in Engineering, Physics, or a related field
  • 5 additional years of experience in a scientific or engineering
  • Minimum 1 year of experience in both plasma physics AND pulsed CO2 lasers
  • Minimum 1 year of experience in hands-on construction and repair of pulsed CO2 lasers
  • Must be 18 years or older
  • Must be willing to take a drug test as part of the selection process
  • Must be willing to submit to a background investigation as part of the selection process


Preferred Qualifications

  • Active DOE/NRC Q-clearance or equivalent strongly preferred.
  • M.S or Ph.D. in Physics, Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience in manufacturing and/or design for manufacturability
  • History of producing results on self-directed projects
  • Experience both with theoretical laser/optical concepts as well as hands-on construction and testing, with a track record of effectively blending these two aspects of engineering
  • Demonstrated ability to work in technology areas with limited precedent
  • Generates new and unique ideas; makes fresh connections; an original thinker
  • Inspired to reach stretch goals in all endeavors
  • Experience working in classified and/or highly regulated environments


Important Note

Due to the sensitive nature of our work, U.S. Citizenship and eligibility to obtain and maintain a DOE/NRC Q-Clearance are required.
