3. Complete relevant laser systems engineer training and internships

   Accountants spend an average of 6-12 months on post-employment, on-the-job training. New laser systems engineers learn the skills and techniques required for their job and employer during this time. The chart below shows how long it takes to gain competency as a laser systems engineer based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data and data from real laser systems engineer resumes.

4. Research laser systems engineer duties and responsibilities

   • Lead a multi-disciplinary engineering team in delivering uniquely complex high -energy laser hardware for integration onto the ABL airframe.
   • Accomplish responsibility to configure, administer and support new infrastructure solutions on Microsoft platforms to meet enterprise level requirements.
   • Programme user software (LabView + Matlab).
   • Provide training on CO2 cutting and YAG laser marking systems to customers onsite and in the field.
