Your responsibilities

• Lead and instruct a diverse team of laser scientists and engineers in the lab, setting priorities and directing the day-to-day work.
• Drive the hands-on experimental work — building, aligning, troubleshooting and optimizing the set-ups at the bench together with the team, not only supervising — and continuously improve the laser system, diagnostics and workflows.
• Plan and drive the experimental program to its milestones, owning the stepwise build and the experimental results.
• Shape the system design, turning the concept and simulation results into buildable experiments and sound technical decisions.
• Identify technical risks early and prepare key technical decisions at project gates.
• Integrate theory, experiment and control systems — act as the interface between the theory/simulation group, the experimental build and the control/stabilization systems.
