eagleyard Photonics GmbH is an internationally operating company and is part of TOPTICA Photonics SE. We develop and produce high-power laser diodes at our innovation site in Berlin-Adlershof and distribute our products via our global sales network. Our laser diodes are important key components for applications in medical technology, analytics, spectroscopy, precision metrology, materials processing and aerospace.

As an R&D development engineer, you will play a key role in the concept creation, design, simulation and characterization of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). PICs are already being used in various growth markets such as telecommunications, industrial sensor technology and in the QT sector (computing & sensor technology) and new fields of application are constantly being developed. To continue the research and development work on this future-oriented technology, we are currently recruiting for a new position (32 – 40 hours/week) for a
