Optical Fabrication Technician

We have a requirement for a skilled optical technician to work in the manufacture of optical and electro-optic devices. These are fabricated from a range of optical materials from simple glasses to more exotic and even water-soluble optical crystals. Candidates should have experience in preparation of optical materials for lapping and optical polishing processes using either machine or hand-polishing techniques. They must be able to read technical drawings for components to be manufactured and be able to work to high precision producing the highest standards of optical finishes. We would consider also candidates from related engineering fields such as toolmaking who are interested in retraining in optical polishing techniques.

Our industrial customers range from very small to the very largest businesses and we work with academia / "Big-Science" up to some of the largest laser systems in the World - you will be working on devices which one day may help to cure cancer or provide answers to some of the most searching scientific questions so a pride and care in your work is essential.

We are a small business working with traditional techniques and equipment making high tech parts for the laser industry and scientific community. If you would be interested in being a part of that team then please contact us with your CV and we will be happy to discuss what opportunities we have.
