Senior Computational Physicist - Northern Germany

Senior Computational Physicist - Northern Germany

Advanced Laser Systems Research

Newton Colmore is working with a well-funded deep-tech company and we are helping them find a Senior Physicist to play a pivotal role in the development of a next-generation laser technology platform.

This is an opportunity to join a highly technical team where advanced physics, large-scale simulation, machine learning, and engineering come together to solve complex real-world challenges.

The successful candidate will take ownership of critical physics modelling and optimisation activities, helping to transition pioneering science from research into commercial deployment.

Within this exciting new role you will be responsible for designing, modelling, and optimising complex physical systems, using advanced computational techniques to guide experimental development and technology performance.

Working closely with both physicists and engineers, you will contribute directly to the core technology roadmap and have significant influence over technical decision-making.

This role would suit someone who enjoys combining fundamental physics with practical engineering challenges and is motivated by seeing their work move rapidly into real-world applications.

For this role, we are considering people from recent PhD grads through to principal-level engineers.

Key Responsibilities of this role include;

• Developing and optimising physics-based models of advanced laser-driven systems


• Designing and executing large-scale simulation studies to support system performance and development.


• Building computational workflows that enable efficient exploration of complex design spaces.


• Applying machine learning and surrogate modelling techniques to accelerate engineering decision-making.

We are ideally looking for candidates with the following attributes;

• A PhD or equivalent industrial experience in physics research that blends computation and simulation, laser physics, or plasma physics.


• Strong experience with numerical modelling and simulation of complex physical systems.


• Expertise in scientific programming using Python and associated computational tools.


• Experience using high-performance computing environments.

This is an opportunity to join a team that has moulded itself as a skunkworks, moving fast, working and discovering together.

You will get the opportunity to work on a brand-new piece of technology and will be given the autonomy to make this role your own, while offering equity in your ideas and a strong starting salary.

This search is being conducted on a confidential basis.

Further information regarding the company, technology, location, and long-term product roadmap will be shared with suitably qualified candidates during the recruitment process.
