Mitrex, an Integrated solar and construction solution provider, is looking for a Photonics Engineer for Building Integrated Photovoltaic products including Solar Cladding Panels. The ideal candidate will have a background in PHOTONICS. We are looking for someone who can create, improve, and test systems and products that use photonics—including lasers, optics, fiber optics, and imaging.
