Senior R&D Scientist/Engineer

Laser Components Detector Group (LCDG) is looking for a highly motivated and innovative Research and Development (R&D) Scientist with expertise across detector material growth, characterization, process engineering, production yield improvement, and new detector technology introduction and development to join the R&D team at the LCDG. The primary focus of this position is to serve as a conduit between detector material growth (DTGS, DLaTGS, CBD, III-V MBE/MOCVD, and/or semiconductor epi material), building R&D laboratory, characterization and analysis, and new detector product technology introduction in order to help growth of new R&D/Engineering infrastructure. The ideal candidate will be a strong technical/scientific contributor and multi-functional collaborator with demonstrated experience with covering a broad range of crystal growth, detector process development, detector characterization and analysis, and production yield improvement, together with demonstrated evidence such as patent applications and published journal papers. Candidate should enjoy working in a fast-paced, objective driven working environment, and be ready to tackle various challenges as the R&D/Engineering team grows.

Note: Remote or hybrid is not an option. On-site presence required. Ability to relocate Arizona (Company-paid relocation assistance available)

Laser Components Detector Group, Inc. has been researching, developing, and manufacturing semiconductor detectors in Phoenix since 2003. The Detector Group specializes in engineering custom developments of individual configurations, resulting in high-performance Silicon Photodiodes, InGaAs Avalanche Photodiodes (APD), pyroelectric detectors, and Lead Salt IR Detectors for use in the detection of the smallest amounts of light and radiation. We fabricate, assemble, and test most of these products in-house. Our product range extends from low-cost APDs for commercial applications to high-end components used in military applications. Our products are featured in cutting edge applications such as LiDAR for autonomous vehicles, drone technology, satellite missions to name just a few. The heart of our photon counting APD modules also originated at our facility. We also specialize in building complete receivers that are engineered to demonstrate high sensitivity, high wavelength range, and large frequency width.
