  • 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 You'll 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 GLE's 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)

  • 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
