• Designing and specifying optical components and modules such as lasers, LEDs, optical filters, cameras, sensors, and lens assemblies
• Creating specification documents and working with vendors to design for manufacturability and process
• Calibrating, testing, and troubleshooting prototype optical systems
• Assembling and aligning tabletop optical components
• Developing, documenting, and detailing operational methods sheets and assembly procedures with vendors
• Implement optical alignment and metrology process or test/tooling fixtures to achieve targeted optical performance
• Integrating prototype systems onto semiconductor tools for system function testing and validation
• Determining test methods and procedures for technical de-risk or to eliminate root causes
• Reporting and presenting results to guide design decisions
• Evaluating design alternatives especially for timeline, tolerancing, manufacturability, light budgets, error budgets, and gauge repeatability and reproducibility
• Following a design process with reviews, procurement from vendors, first-article inspection, testing, prototype integration, and design release

PROFICIENT IN:

• Following checklists, processes, protocols, and other technical documentation
• Demonstrating an understanding of optical subsystems and their interface with other subsystems, e.g. mechanical, electrical, control, environment, and software
• Performing in-depth system troubleshooting using diagnostics, protocols, theory of operations, and other information
• Creating technical and process related procedures from scratch, redlining drafts, and updating and releasing documentation
• Assisting with technical conference calls and support issues escalated from the field and customer
• Developing recommendations and acting independently to determine appropriate test and troubleshooting methods
• Working on complex complex assignments where independent action and a high degree of initiative are required for problem solving

QUALIFICATIONS:

• An understanding of optics theory, especially illumination, imaging, and microscope systems, is a must
• Experience with optical design in software such as CodeV, Zemax, or Lighttools
• Optical bench, subsystem, or system assembly experience and comfort with complex optomechanical alignment
• Ability to measure, troubleshoot, test, process, and communicate data, images, signals, and readings
• Ability to travel to manufacturing and customer facilities ( domestic and international ) as part of product development
• Be results driven
• Proven ability to perform effectively in a demanding environment with changing workloads and deadlines
• Be able to work in a multi-discipline and multi-culture global organization
• Degrees in optical engineering preferred
• Experience with spectroscopy, coatings, and optomechanics a plus
