Bullen is a global leader in machining hard and brittle materials, known for pushing beyond the limits of traditional manufacturing. We’ve earned that position by developing innovative solutions that turn our customers’ most complex designs into reality.
One of our most exciting frontiers is precision laser machining; an area where we’re breaking new ground and setting industry standards. As a Senior Laser Development Engineer, you will be at the center of this innovation. You’ll lead efforts to explore and develop novel laser technologies, working across disciplines to advance new processes and refine existing ones.
In this role, you’ll collaborate with experts, vendors, and research partners, all while managing projects that balance creativity with technical excellence. Your work will directly shape the future of laser micro-machining.
This position offers a hybrid remote option with up to 25% travel, primarily to our Eaton, OH headquarters, as well as to vendors, conferences, and other project-related sites.

The ever growing technological advances in computing, communication, and sensing depend on photonics. PINC builds the transformative integrated photonic platform to address these needs and make that future possible. Our proprietary NanoPPLN photonic platform is based on pioneering advancements from the Nonlinear Photonics Laboratory at Caltech. PINC is an early-stage startup with venture backing from leading financial investors and major global photonics companies. We are growing quickly and looking for passionate, highly driven, and self-disciplined individuals to join us on this journey, who are excited to push the boundaries of Photonic technologies. This is an excellent opportunity for people who excel in a fast-paced environment, approach challenges with a “can-do” mindset, and work collaboratively to inspire others while helping to build a strong team around them and with them as we scale the company together.

PhD students Nicolas Deshler and Itay Ozer have been recognized for their invention of a quantum optimal coronagraph, a breakthrough device that uses spatial mode sorting to null starlight and reveal faint objects like exoplanets. Their innovation reaches quantum limits of information extraction, with potential applications in astronomy, microscopy, and telecommunications.

We’re proud to share that two of our faculty members, Dr. Leilei Peng and Dr. Kanu Sinha, have been named to the Photonics 100 for 2026, an international list recognizing the most innovative and influential people in photonics.

PhD student Logan Pawlowski represented the Wyant College of Optical Sciences at AMOS Space Day in Maui, delivering interactive demonstrations to middle and high school students across the island. Supported by the Optics Ambassadors program, Logan introduced students to telescope architecture, polarization, and neuromorphic vision, using hands-on tools like branded polarizer cards and event-based sensors. His outreach aimed to inspire local youth to consider careers in optics and technology, especially in communities where such paths are often overlooked.
