CrysNova Lab LLC is an early-stage optical technology company establishing a Tucson operation near UA Tech Park. We are seeking a reliable local student or early-career professional to provide practical, on-site support as the office comes online.

Work is intermittent and needs-based, typically totaling approximately 4–20 hours per month. No minimum number of hours is guaranteed. On-site assignments will normally be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance, subject to availability. Each on-site visit will generally have a two-hour minimum.

Lightsense Technology manufactures handheld optical spectrometers to detect narcotics and are used by first responders / law enforcement / security personnel to detect the presence of Fentanyl or Methamphetamine in fake pills and unknown powders.

Lightsense Technology is developing a next generation product that will expand the current technology to include detecting all illicit drugs as well as certain applications in biospectroscopy. The R&D team has an immediate opening for a part-time (potentially full-time) Optical Engineering / Spectroscopy Intern (full-time summer 2027 and beyond) for optical design, fabrication & testing, and to develop and manage a spectroscopy data repository.

Muon seeks a Senior Optical Engineer to act as a technical lead on our team in Mountain View, CA or Remote, developing infrared remote sensing instruments. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated expert with a versatile skill set, comfortable diving into everything from conceptual design and error budgeting to precision optical metrology and rigorous hardware execution. In this role, you will be the definitive technical authority for a new optical subsystem, owning the performance metrics while defining and driving the hands-on assembly, integration, and test (AI&T) of critical optical and optomechanical subsystems. Previous experience driving end-to-end optical development, managing stringent performance budgets, and integrating complex electro-optical systems in a fast-paced, small-team environment is required.

This is a hands-on position responsible for the design and experimental verification of complex optical parts and assemblies for lithography and laser annealing tools.

The engineer in this position designs and implements complex imaging, illumination, and high-power beamforming and beam delivery systems. In this position, you will be responsible for IP creation, design, experimentation, and interaction with engineering, manufacturing, and marketing departments.
