Join Meopta – Shaping the Future of Precision Optics

 Position: High Fluence Optics Expert

 Seniority: Principal / Senior Expert

About the Role

Meopta is seeking a world-class expert in high fluence optics to lead advanced research and development in optical coatings and laser damage mechanisms. This is a strategic role at the intersection of physics, materials science, and precision engineering — ideal for a PhD-level professional with deep expertise and a passion for pushing the boundaries of optical performance.

You will be instrumental in modeling, simulating, and optimizing optical coatings for high-power laser applications across DUV, VIS, and NIR spectra. Your work will directly influence the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing, metrology, and aerospace technologies.

Your Impact

• Simulate and model stress, absorption, delamination, and lifetime behavior of optical coatings.
• Predict LIDT and failure mechanisms using advanced theoretical frameworks.
• Design and evaluate experiments using AFM, SEM/TEM, SIMS, XPS, XRD, LEIS.
• Define and refine technological routes for optical component production.
• Drive continuous improvement in polishing, cleaning, coating, and contacting processes.
• Collaborate with global customers and lead technical discussions.

What You Bring

• PhD in Laser Optics, Material Science, or related field.
• 5 years of experience in high fluence optics (DUV/VIS/NIR).
• Proven expertise in optical coating simulation and light-matter interaction.
• Hands-on experience with laser damage analysis and lifetime failure studies.
• Strong background in DoE and analytical instrumentation.
• Familiarity with optical production processes.
• Fluent English (Czech is a plus)
