Senior Optical Design Engineer
Job Description:
• Lead design, simulation, tolerancing, and optimization of complex optical systems using tools such as Ansys Optics Studio (Zemax), Code V, LightTools, Lumerical, Quadoa, or equivalent
• Perform stray‑light, ray‑trace, wavefront, photon budget, and design for manufacturability (DFM) analyses (e.g., Monte‑Carlo tolerancing)
• Translate customer specifications into detailed design requirements; collaborate across mechanical, electrical, firmware/software, and manufacturing teams for system integration and prototyping
• Guide validation of designs via lab testing, metrology, and performance measurement (e.g., MTF, distortion, SNR, wavefront)
• Mentor and support junior optical engineers and cross‑functional partners, establishing design best practices and documentation
• Drive innovation through research into new optical technologies, materials, coatings, and manufacturing techniques, informing future product strategies
• Drive critical technical communications / negotiations with customers to ensure optical solutions align with performance, cost, and manufacturability goals.
Requirements:
• Master’s or PhD in Optical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
• Minimum 5+ years experience in optical design and engineering—ideally handling advanced, multi‑element systems
• High proficiency with optical design and simulation tools (e.g., Zemax, Code V and others)
• Strong fundamentals in geometrical and physical optics design methodology, optical fabrication techniques, DFM, tolerancing, and metrology
• Experience in design documentation and cross-functional collaboration
• Background in imaging systems for robotics, embedded cameras, LWIR, biomedical, AR/VR, sensors, or AI vision modules
• Exposure to prototyping processes including wafer‑level optics, active alignment, cleanroom assembly, or rapid prototyping workflows
• Familiarity with optical test stations or imaging qualification methods
• Experience in team leadership or mentoring, and process improvement with a proven track record of success
• Programming or scripting skill (MATLAB, Python) for automation of analyses or data processing.
Benefits:
• Opportunity for advancement
• Profit sharing
