About the role

Spectra-Physics, the Lasers Business Unit of MKS Instruments, seeks a Senior Laser Engineer to advance tunable diode laser systems for OEM and semiconductor customers. You will contribute across the full product lifecycle, from R&D through production, collaborating with cross-functional teams on optical, electrical, and software integration. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in laser systems, system-level troubleshooting, and experience with diode/fiber/solid-state lasers.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
