In this Optical Design Engineer role, you will leverage your experience in designing and tolerancing optical systems to lead efforts to design and manufacture ultra-compact, high-precision micro-optical systems. You will start out with novel optics design concepts and turn them into optical systems optimized for mass production.
- Design, simulate, and analyze complex, ultra-compact free-space optical systems
- Utilize your skills in optical design and simulation to propose optics designs, tolerance budgets, as well as testing and qualification approaches and methods
- Contribute to the design, implementation, and test of novel technology prove-of-concept devices and prototypes
- Work in a team and contribute to the development of next generation optics and photonics devices
- BS degree in Optics, Physics, EE or a related field
- Experience with at least one commercial optics simulation tools, such as Zemax, Code V, FRED, LightTools, or equivalent
- Programming experience using MATLAB, Python, C, or similar tools
- 3+ years of relevant industry experience
- MS or PhD degree in Optics, Physics, EE or a related field
- Understanding of optical physics fundamentals
- Familiarity with the design, simulation, optimization, sensitivity and tolerance analysis of complex free space optical systems, with a preference for high-precision micro-optical system design experience
- Experience designing incoherent and coherent optical systems
- Experience with the design of optics systems for sensing or metrology applications.
- Experience in one or more of the following areas: optics design for manufacturability, stray light analysis, physical optics, or coherent optical effects
- The ability to work well in an interdisciplinary team environment
