Innolume GmbH is the leading supplier of semiconductor laser technology. Our Advanced GaAs Quantum Dot lasers provide superior high temperature performance and reliability and are at the heart of highly integrated optical systems throughout the world. Innolume has assembled a dedicated team of scientists, engineers and highly qualified professionals, who are developing a wide range of technologies, that are being used in advanced industrial, medical and communications systems. Innolume is seeking to recruit talented people who are passionate about science and technology. We have positions available in a diverse range of disciplines and we want to hear from goal-oriented individuals, who enjoy being part of a team, that will work together to create disruptive solutions across a wide range of technological applications in photonics.
Role Summary
We are seeking a motivated R&D Operator to support experimental work in our semiconductor laser laboratories. Unlike routine production operators, this role requires a higher degree of flexibility and technical curiosity to work with complex and evolving setups. The successful candidate will contribute to measurements, sample preparation, and basic processing tasks in collaboration with R&D engineers.
Responsibilities
* Prepare and process samples, including: Cleaving bars and chipping devices; Chip bonding on submounts using cleanroom equipment; Wire bonding of laser chips
* Operate laboratory test benches and measurement instruments.
* Follow R&D instructions to run experimental test series and record accurate data.
* Document test results, observations, and process deviations.
* Support the development and refinement of testing and quality control techniques for future volume production.
* Collaborate with engineers on experimental setups, ensuring reliable operation and reproducibility.
* Adhere to cleanroom and ESD handling protocols, maintaining a safe and organized work environment.
Requirements:
* Hands-on experience in laser chip bonding, wire bonding, and/or cleanroom processes.
* Familiarity with optical or electronic measurements (e.g., IV curves, LIV, far-field, spectral analysis).
* Ability and motivation to learn new methods and adapt quickly in a dynamic R&D environment.
* Attention to detail and accurate data recording skills.
* Team-oriented mindset and willingness to work closely with R&D engineers.
* Previous experience with semiconductor laser devices.
* Knowledge of statistical data evaluation and experimental documentation.
* Prior exposure to DFB lasers, SOAs, or photonic device testing.
* Basic computer skills (Excel, LabView, or similar).
We offer
* A permanent position versatile work environment.
* Flexible working hours (one-shift operation).
* 30 days holiday per year.
* Additional benefits after the probationary period (meals vouchers, credit card that is topped up with €50 every month and more), company events, freely available drinks and fruit,gift voucher for birthdays.
* Opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge R&D and production development.
* Exposure to innovative semiconductor laser development projects (e.g., DFB lasers for telecom/datacom, SOAs, EU-funded research).
* A role that grows with your skills — from structured measurements to more advanced lab tasks.
* Collaborative and international environment with experienced R&D engineers.
