R&D Internship: Numerical optimisation F/H

The company

Founded in 2013, Cailabs designs, manufactures, and develops innovative photonic solutions for the space, industry, telecommunications, and defense sectors. A global specialist in laser shaping, the company has accelerated its growth in the space field with turnkey optical ground stations that integrate atmospheric turbulence compensation technology. This makes it one of the first companies to harness very high data rates enabled by optics in a commercial ground station.

Cailabs currently has over 120 employees, including 32 PhDs. With 26 patent families filed, the company is one of the most innovative companies in France. It is headquartered in Rennes, with offices in Paris and Washington (USA).

Internship description

The internship project aims to improve the digital tools at the heart of Cailabs' light shaping technology. More specifically, the internship will focus on numerical optimisation tools, which will be used by the entire R&D team on optical problems, particularly in the space and laser machining sectors.

Your objective will be to implement new numerical optimisation strategies in a module developed in-house, taking advantage ofopen source software developments ( Scipy Python library, GPU computing, etc.).

You will work in the Technical Department under the supervision of a doctorate in physics, an R&D engineer and an expert in numerical simulations. You will learn how to carry out a bibliographical study of the assignment, define specifications with your contacts and discuss the progress of your work. You will have the opportunity to use and improve your scientific knowledge, and you will learn to work as part of a company team on practical issues.

Profile required
