Photonics Technologies
Thorlabs was founded in 1989 with a simple mission: make photonics lab equipment more accessible to graduate students and junior professors. At the time, significant mark-ups and long lead times were the norm and we sought to build a loyal customer base based on transparent business practices. We work hard to design and manufacture the tools that enable the next great steps in scientific discovery. If this excites you too, we encourage you to apply!
All CareersOur Culture is Human Centric and Communication-Based
Our company is built around people – our customers, for whom we exist; our employees, to whom we provide a challenging, safe, and fun atmosphere with meaningful work; and our surrounding community that we support through volunteering and donations. We strive to keep our communication open among all employees – from the top down and bottom up. We look for opportunities to learn, improve, and adapt, even from our failures, as we quickly turn ideas into practice and action.
Fostering a Diverse and Highly Successful Employee Base
We adopt projects from our internal employee success groups, follow progressive policies, and support our industry in promoting underrepresented populations in science. In addition to educational outreach, we provide paid summer internships at many of our locations to help students gain relevant work experience. For current employees, we offer full tuition reimbursement and encourage them to pursue the education that will empower them to take the next steps in their career at Thorlabs.
