Are you a meticulous and analytically driven professional on the hunt for the ideal career? Looking for your next big move in fiber optics? This role might be for you.

A global leader in fiber design and manufacturing (serving medical device, aerospace, and industrial markets) is looking for an R&D Engineer to join their team in Somerset County, NJ.

You’d be working on developing and optimizing optical fiber fabrication processes—hands-on with equipment, running experiments, solving tricky process problems, and collaborating with teams across multiple sites.

The environment? Super clean, cutting-edge facility. Financially stable. Great benefits. Flexible hours. And a culture that actually supports work-life balance.

If you’ve got a master’s or PhD in physics, materials science, or engineering—and a couple years of experience in process development or manufacturing—you’ll fit right in. Bonus points if you’ve worked with high-temperature processes or fiber characterization before. Most importantly, you enjoy solving complex problems, digging into data, and bringing new ideas to life. (**U.S. work authorization required. No sponsorship available**)
