| photonics-engineering-technician | Occupational skill for the role 'photonics engineering technician' (also: photonics engineering technologist, photonic systems engineering technician, laser technician, electro-optical technologist, technician in photonic systems, photonics technician). Use when the user asks for typical photonics engineering technician work such as: Analyze, fabricate, or test fiber-optic links.; Design electro-optical sensing or imaging systems.; Determine commercial, industrial, scientific, or other uses for electro-optical applications or devices. |
Photonics Engineering Technician
Photonics engineering technicians collaborate with engineers in the development of photonic systems or components, usually in the form of optical equipment, such as lasers, lenses, and fibre optic equipment. Photonics engineering technicians build, test, install and calibrate optical equipment. They read blueprint and other technical drawings to develop testing and calibrating procedures.
Core workflow
- Analyze, fabricate, or test fiber-optic links.
- Design electro-optical sensing or imaging systems.
- Determine commercial, industrial, scientific, or other uses for electro-optical applications or devices.
- Conduct research on new photonics technologies.
- Design, integrate, or test photonics systems or components.
- Analyze system performance or operational requirements.
- Conduct testing to determine functionality or optimization or to establish limits of photonics systems or components.
- Design gas lasers, solid state lasers, infrared, or other light emitting or light sensitive devices.
