About the role

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s BELLA Center seeks a Laser Support Engineer to operate high-power laser systems and support experimental campaigns. The role spans maintenance, diagnostics, and reliability improvements across multiple laser platforms. Level 1 emphasizes hands-on operation and routine maintenance, while Level 2 invites technical leadership, project coordination with vendors, and collaboration with engineering teams to enhance laser performance and safety.

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.
