Laser Engineer (Pulsed Solid-State)
Furientis, Los Angeles, CA
The role
America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year. Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost-effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles. We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.
You own every pulsed laser transmitter the seeker flies, bought or built. Near term, that means buying intelligently: surveying the global supply base for Q-switched Er:glass and seeded MOPA transmitters, characterizing what actually arrives, and integrating it behind a swap-ready interface. Then it means building our own: Q-switched Er:glass lasers designed, assembled, and tested in-house, and seeded MOPA amplifier chains built around off-the-shelf seed lasers.
