Femtosecond laser and ultrafast photonics systems manufacturer
Light Conversion designs and manufactures femtosecond lasers, optical parametric amplifiers, and spectroscopy systems—hardware that demands deep expertise in optics, embedded systems, and precision manufacturing. The tech stack reveals a .NET/Azure-heavy backend (Dynamics NAV, ASP.NET, Blazor) paired with low-level embedded work (ARM, FPGA, CPLD, RTOS, I2C/UART/CAN), a pattern typical of hardware companies with complex distributed control systems. Active hiring skews toward manufacturing and engineering (14 of 23 roles), with pain points centered on assembly, inspection, and process efficiency—consistent with scaling production while maintaining optical tolerances.
Light Conversion manufactures ultrafast laser systems and wavelength-tunable optical sources used in research, microscopy, spectroscopy, and industrial applications. Founded in 1994 and based in Vilnius, the company has installed over 9,000 systems globally and maintains offices in the US, China, and Korea. The portfolio includes femtosecond lasers, optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers, and specialty microscopy and spectroscopy instruments. Customers span academic institutions—including the world's top 50 universities—and industrial partners requiring 24/7 reliability. The organization operates across design, manufacturing, service, and support functions, with active product development in laser controllers and optical component integration.
Backend: Dynamics NAV, .NET Framework, ASP.NET, Blazor, Azure, CI/CD via GitHub Actions. Embedded: ARM, FPGA, CPLD, RTOS, I2C, UART, CAN, USB. Design tools: Altium Designer, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse.
