Operation engineer Jobs in Gernsheim

At Focused Energy we are developing NeoLyte a breakthrough initiative that pioneers compact laser-driven radiation sources (LDRS) based on high-power laser technology. These dual-mode sources combine MeV X-rays and fast neutrons in a single system. The platform is modular and enables real-time non-destructive inspection of materials even when those that are complex or shielded.

NeoLytes technology addresses critical challenges across nuclear waste analysis contraband detection infrastructure inspection and medical isotope production. With its unique combination of resolution material specificity and deployment flexibility LDRS opens up new possibilities far beyond conventional systems.
