Labsphere and International Light Technologies (ILT), sister companies in the Halma network, specialize in solving some of the world’s greatest challenges – with light! Our core products measure, create, and reflect light, touching industries including medical, automotive, consumer electronics, AR/VR/MR, and remote sensing.

Our core resource is our world-class team of innovators and experts, and we are expanding this team with a new Electrical Engineer. In this role, you will work with the Labsphere and ILT Product Development teams, helping make the next-generation solutions to our customers’ diverse and challenging needs.

Drawing from disciplines including systems, optics, mechanical, electrical, software engineering, and industrial design we’re assembling the capacity to provide even deeper customer collaboration on highly precise opportunities across industries.

The Electrical Engineer can be located from either the North Sutton NH or Peabody MA office, with semi-regular travel to the other location as needed, especially during the initial training period.
