Hiring: Fiber Laser Technician | Optical Alignment & Photonics | Tucson, AZ | AdValue Photonics (Tucson)

AdValue Photonics designs and manufactures high-performance fiber laser systems used in demanding industrial, scientific, and defense applications. Based in Tucson, AZ, we specialize in custom fiber laser solutions requiring precision optical design, alignment, and integration .

This is not a general technician or assembly role .

We are hiring a Fiber Laser Technician with hands-on experience in optical alignment, fiber optics, or laser systems . This role involves working at micron-level precision on high-performance laser systems.

If you have not worked directly with optics, lasers, or fiber systems , this position will not be a fit.

• Assemble and test fiber laser systems and subassemblies
• Perform optical alignment (lenses, mirrors, fiber coupling)
• Handle and route fiber optics , including splicing where applicable
• Troubleshoot alignment, output power, and system performance
• Execute detailed build and test procedures with zero deviation
• Record and document test data and system performance
• Collaborate with engineering to refine builds and resolve technical issues

• Hands-on experience with at least ONE of the following:
• Fiber optics
• Optical alignment
• Laser systems
• Experience with precision assembly (tight tolerances, delicate components)
• Ability to follow detailed procedures with extreme accuracy and consistency
• Experience in a lab, cleanroom, or precision manufacturing environment

• Fiber splicing ( fusion splicing ) experience
• Experience with fiber laser systems or photonics equipment
• Familiarity with optical test equipment (power meters, beam analysis, oscilloscopes)
• Background in photonics, optics, laser technology, or related field

• Your experience is limited to general assembly or production line work
• You have not worked with optics, lasers, or fiber systems
• You prioritize speed over precision and accuracy
• You are not comfortable with repetitive, detail-critical work

$19.00 - $23.00/hour DOE

Higher compensation available for candidates with direct fiber laser or photonics experience.

Describe your hands-on experience with fiber optics, laser systems, or optical alignment.

Be specific about the tools, equipment, and processes you have personally worked with.
