What is the laser engineer doing?

Laser engineer is a scientist or engineer who has extensive training in the field of design, building, operation and maintaining high energy production or research laser equipment. The qualification for this position is likely to depend on the specific areas in which the engineer works. Those in the research and development position are likely to design new laser technology, improve existing technology and the development of new products. Those in production will be more practical, building products and parts and design processes that use laser technology in solid condition.

Educational requirements will vary among employers, but most laser engineers have a bachelor's degree in some type of scientific area such as physics, engineering, laser technology or optics. Some laser engineers have a master's degree or even PhD depending on the position. Most laser engineers have experience in the development of laser product, research applied laser or MOLasers' solid state in industrial or manufacturing context. This task includes the diagnosis of technical problems and the use of test devices to repair lasers. A laser engineer working in a production context is likely to have good interpersonal skills because he often communicates with operators and sellers. A laser engineer working in a research context is more likely to focus on the conceptual and creative aspect of laser technology, so skills and teamwork are more important.

One of the primary work responsibilities of a laser engineer cooperates with specialized computers to program basic functions for laser devices, data commissioning and creating software for working with laser devices. Together with standard business programs, laser engineer needs work knowledge AutoCAD®, Rials resources friendly, product data management and other engineerSoftware. Laser engineers working in the production area create or control technical drawings and coordinate with manufacturing staff to determine the actual steps and type of lasers necessary in different manufacturing processes. The research laser engineer must also create and check the detailed technical drawings to be used in designing and creating laser technology and equipment.
