At INLEAP Photonics, we develop innovative and ultra-fast laser system technology for industrial and safety-critical applications. In addition to optimising laser processes in manufacturing, we also work on high-precision systems for drone defence. Our goal is to set new standards in productivity and precision with maximum safety, reliability and efficiency.

To further develop and scale our INLEAP® FASTLIGHT® technology for both industrial applications and safety-critical scenarios such as drone defence, we are looking for reinforcement for our engineering team in the field of electrical/hardware development: 

As an Electrical Engineer (m/f/d), you will design and develop the electrical system technology for our innovative laser beam steering technologies: from precise sensor and actuator connections for ultra-fast laser beam steering to mixed-signal circuits and power electronics to real-time capable controllers. You will convert prototypes into series-ready, EMC-compliant modules, be responsible for layout and signal integrity, integrate suitable MCU/FPGA platforms and provide reliable power supply concepts for high-power lasers.

Your tasks:

• Design of circuits (e.g. with EPLAN) using sensors, drivers and control units in real-time applications.
• Development of control systems for laser systems.
• Prototyping and testing (e.g. oscilloscope, logic analyser) to validate system reliability.
• Scaling strategies: optimisation for cost-effective production and modularity.
• Interdisciplinary collaboration for fully integrated mechatronic solutions.
• Taking over the role of the responsible electrical engineer (VEFK) in accordance with German regulations.

Your qualifications and skills:

• Degree in electrical engineering or mechatronics (master’s/diploma) with a focus on power electronics, training/master craftsman/technician for electrical engineering/electronics.
• Professional experience in electronics development for optical or automation systems.
• Knowledge of safety engineering and standards (CE, RoHS, EN ISO 13848).
• Anticipated scaling capabilities: Expertise in scaling electronics to volume production.
• Hands-on mentality, good English skills and ability to work in a team in an agile start-up environment.

Start date: 

• Immediately or by agreement

What we offer:

• Creative freedom: Work directly on the further development of our INLEAP® FASTLIGHT® technology and actively contribute your own ideas.
• Innovative environment: Develop EMC-compliant, series-ready hardware for highly dynamic laser applications that contribute to greater sustainability and safety.
• Interdisciplinary work: Work closely with experts in optics, mechatronics and software with short decision-making processes and genuine team spirit.
• Flexibility & prospects: Benefit from flexible working hours, a high degree of personal responsibility and development opportunities in a growing high-tech company.
• Central location: Our location in Hanover is centrally located (Hans-Böckler-Allee 20, 30173 Hanover) and offers excellent transport connections and short distances.
