Multiphoton laser scanning microscopes for neuroscience and brain research
Femtonics manufactures precision multiphoton microscopes for neuroscientific research and drug development. The tech stack—Zemax OpticStudio, MATLAB, C++, plus robotics platforms (Universal Robots, KUKA, ABB, Beckhoff TwinCAT)—reflects a hardware-centric, mechatronics-heavy engineering operation. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering roles at mid-level seniority, with concurrent work on ISO 13485 compliance and service-team scaling, suggesting growth into regulated manufacturing and support-driven expansion.
Femtonics designs and manufactures multiphoton laser scanning microscopes optimized for fast 2D and 3D optical imaging in brain research, neuroscience, and pharmaceutical screening. Founded in 2005 in Budapest, the company serves research institutions and drug-development labs. The product portfolio emphasizes modularity to adapt to biophysical and other specialized imaging applications. Current development covers microscope assembly, new product lines, design verification, collaborative robotics integration, and force control—alongside supplier audit and quality-system buildout (ISO 13485 implementation).
Femtonics uses Zemax OpticStudio for optical design, MATLAB and C++ for control software, and a stack including PyQt, STM32 microcontrollers, and robotics platforms (Universal Robots, KUKA, ABB, Beckhoff TwinCAT) for hardware integration.
Current projects include collaborative robot control algorithm development, force control implementation, microscope assembly, new product development, design verification and validation, supplier audit and management, and ISO 13485 quality-system implementation.
