In this role you will gain the skills required for the design and development of optical coatings for a very wide range of optical products covering wavebands from the ultra-violet to far infrared. We will provide a supportive environment where, mentored by senior engineers, you will quickly gain experience in all stages of the coating development process. In addition to learning the required theoretical concepts, software and engineering skills, you will be directly involved in the manufacture of your designs and the assessment in our laboratories.
