As a laser systems engineer at Aquila, you will own our laser energy delivery systems end to end. This means calibrating, initialising, and testing our laser systems to perform as required to facilitate production readiness.

You will be responsible for implementing a laser energy delivery system with safety layers, interlinks, and interlocks to ensure safe and effective energy delivery to power Lightway Sentry, the first free-space optical power-beaming product to launch. Lightway Sentry is a drone that can fly forever to establish aerial awareness and save lives in critical infrastructure, surf life-saving, and defence.

The role spans all elements of laser system operations, testing, and certification, including high-power laser systems, characterisation of various laser elements, collaboration with external test houses to certify that accessible radiation is controlled and safe, and much more.
