Are you the next Head of Systems Engineering to drive forward our next-generation laser processing platform? A spinout from the University of Oxford, Opsydia is a specialist laser technology company harnessing decades of academic excellence and experience in adaptive optics that enable the writing of features in transparent materials. Our writing technology has gone on to provide functionalities across many scientific and industrial areas. Our technological capabilities and intellectual property in adaptive optics have been accelerated forward and are now engaged with world class companies with a view to deploying Opsydia's systems in their next generation products. With strong support from investors and the market, Opsydia has been pursuing new applications in areas ranging from co-packaged optical-semiconductor devices, datacoms, quantum to sensing devices. If you're seeking to join an industry leading innovator, we'd love to hear from you. THE ROLE As the Head of Systems Engineering, you will own the systems architecture and integration across hardware, optics, and controls specifically in ultra-fast laser photonics and control systems, while building a high performing team and establishing best practices in product development & manufacturability. Initial scope includes scaling and enhancing our system platform, developing new system variants for emerging applications, and working closely with global customers to understand their unique requirements and translate them into robust, high performing, market ready products. This role will suit an experienced leader who applies rigorous systems engineering practices, has successfully led high performing technical teams, and brings hands on expertise with ultrafast laser technologies. It's ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast moving, and innovative environment and enjoys shaping architecture, guiding multidisciplinary engineering efforts, and delivering technically ambitious products with clarity, structure and purpose. Key Responsibilities Leadership & Team Management Build, lead, and develop a high performing Systems Engineering team. Establish operating rhythms: daily standups, technical/design reviews; foster accountability, collaboration, and technical excellence. Manage capacity and prioritisation across programs; resource allocation between advanced NPD and sustaining engineering. Technical Ownership & Architecture Own end to end systems architecture with deep involvement in ultra-fast laser photonics (laser sources, beam delivery, optical subsystems) and control systems (precision motion, feedback control, embedded/real time). Translate customer/product requirements into system level specifications. Drive data driven design evaluations to ensure the product architecture achieves optimal performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability. Product Development, NPI & Lifecycle Lead the evolution of early concepts into fully integrated, production ready systems, coordinating mechanical, optical, electrical and firmware teams. Establish a robust NPI pathway from research to production, enabling consistent builds, clear test protocols, and long-term serviceability. Oversee disciplined change control, ensuring product updates are properly assessed, documented, and implemented across engineering and manufacturing systems. Systematically improve product robustness and manufacturing efficiency by identifying quality gaps, reducing complexity, and implementing scalable, lean processes. Ultrafast Laser Expertise Lead application and optimisation of femtosecond laser systems for direct laser writing and photonic integrated circuits. Collaborate with laser suppliers to define specifications, validate performance, and optimise system integration, ensuring components meet application requirements. Guide process improvements in laser marking & control solutions, validating laser measurement and alignment methods. Manufacturing, Quality, Safety & Compliance Define test strategies, acceptance criteria, reliability growth plans, and risk management. Ensure compliance with relevant standards (e.g., laser safety, EMC, functional safety as applicable); partner with Quality/Regulatory for certifications and approvals. Appointed Laser Safety Officer (LSO) and develop ownerships of internal laser safety policy, team training, and lab compliance. Cross Functional & External Collaboration Act as the systems lead across R&D, Optical Engineering, Software/Controls, Manufacturing, Quality/Regulatory, Field Service, and to inform Business Development. Liaise with academic founders, R&D, suppliers, and customers; lead proof of concept trials and demos to validate feasibility and accelerate adoption. Intellectual Property & Innovation Manage the patent portfolio and identify opportunities for new filings; draft inputs, liaise with IP counsel; report strategy/status to senior leadership and board. Drive innovation roadmaps across photonics, controls, and vision capability. ABOUT YOU You are a proven Systems Engineering leader with 10+ years' experience in photonics, laser systems, or precision instrumentation, supported by a deep technical background and ideally an advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Physics, Optical Engineering, or a related field. You take full ownership of complex system delivery, provide clear technical direction, and lead multidisciplinary teams with accountability, structure, and confidence. You will be able to demonstrate: Leadership experience developing and guiding high performing engineering teams. End to end ownership across system architecture, integration, and V&V for advanced optical, laser, and motion control systems. Technical depth in ultrafast lasers, precision optics, motion systems, and control architectures. A proactive, solutions driven mindset, anticipating issues and driving timely resolution. Strong organisational and communication skills, enabling alignment across cross functional teams, suppliers, and stakeholders. Stakeholder agility, able to communicate complex technical risks and opportunities to founders, investors, commercial teams, and strategic partners. Resilience and adaptability, thriving in shifting priorities This role suits someone who combines technical excellence with leadership maturity, thrives in a fast moving, innovative environment, and consistently drives clarity, quality, and delivery. You might also have: Bias for experimentation and rapid validation Strategic technology sensing for existing and emerging markets If you don't meet all of the criteria above, but are interested in the role, please apply or get in touch to discuss further. The role is advertised as full-time.
