We are continuously looking for experts who enjoy working in life science and optical engineering. Our goal is it to create a working environment that allows our employees to work on their own projects and go beyond their limits every single day.
About the company
Prospective Instruments is a start-up located in Dornbirn, Austria. Our main goal is to provide
the research and clinical communities with turnkey, modular and highly multimodal optical
imaging systems.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for a colleague with a strong background in photonics (general optics and
ultrafast lasers), with a particular focus on hands-on work with laser scanning microscopy
technologies.
Your role
As an optical engineer, you will work closely with specialists at leading international
research institutions and technology pioneers in academia and industry. A key part of
your role will be to develop advanced microscopy techniques and integrate them into
our new and existing multimodal multiphoton products. These techniques include
FLIM, coherent Raman imaging, structured illumination microscopy, light-sheet
microscopy, OCT and photoacoustic microscopy.
The position requires excellent practical skills in working with complex optical setups
and optomechanical assemblies, good communication skills and a willingness to travel.
Your responsibilities are to:
• Develop new microscopy techniques and make them ready for industrial use.
• Manufacture custom-designed microscopes and optical subsystems.
• Conduct product demonstrations, workshops and training sessions, and
provide customer support.
• Write articles, manuals and application notes on new technologies and
applications.
• Share user feedback with R&D and product management teams through crossfunctional collaboration.
Your qualifications
• An advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in a relevant field.
• Hands-on experience with light microscopy and its applications.
• A proven track record of designing, building and testing microscopes.
• Practical experience with imaging optics, laser beam alignment and ultrafast
lasers, along with a solid understanding of geometrical optics.
• Proven ability to prioritize and work on multiple projects simultaneously.
• A confident, determined and people-oriented personality.
• Proven ability to work independently and as part of a diverse team.
• Effective communication skills.
