At Focused Energy, we are developing NeoLyte, a new initiative to develop compact, laser-driven radiation sources (LDRS) based on high-performance laser technology.
These innovative dual-mode systems combine MeV X-rays and fast neutrons in a single, modular platform, enabling non-destructive real-time inspections of materials - even at complex or shielded objects.
Our technology is used wherever highest precision is required: for analyzing radioactive waste, detecting smuggled goods, inspecting critical infrastructure, or producing medical isotopes.
With its combination of high resolution, material specificity, and flexible deployment, the LDRS technology opens up possibilities far beyond what can be achieved with conventional systems.
Job Description
We are looking for an experienced technical leadership personality to take over both project responsibility during construction and organization of later laboratory operation, including all safety-relevant aspects.
