Optical Engineer IV

Duration:  12 Months

• The main function of an optical Engineer is to develop new concepts and technologies for next generation Near-Eye Displays (NEDs), projectors, cameras and sensors including integrated optics, structured light, depth sensing, polarization optics, and optical system design.

Job Responsibilities:

• Work with a small team of optical scientists in developing imaging systems for AR and VR applications.
• Model and prototype critical technologies to drive system performance and validation.
• Research and develop emerging concepts in imaging systems and optical systems in support of NEDs.
• Support the evaluation and characterization of optical components and system integrations.
• Collaborate with the larger research team to explore concepts and drive optical system development to create compelling experiences.
• Drive supplier choice, interaction, and management to deliver prototypes in support of concept demonstrations.
• Establish specifications for display and imaging systems to ensure a successful product.

Skills:

• Experience in applied research and/or product development of optics or photonic systems.
• Experience with one or more of the following optics technologies: illumination, radiometry/photometry, stray light analysis, physical optics, or imaging.
• Experience with laboratory work setting up optical systems and experience with methods and tools for fabrication of optics (molded, polished, diamond turned) as well as microstructures.
• Designing optical tools and methods such as FRED, ASAP, LightTools, or ZEMAX..
• Ability to work with minimal direction and managing a project independently from start to finish.
• Working, communicating, and collaborating in a cross-functional team environment.
• Experience in radiometric calibration, signal-to-noise measurement, and modeling of imaging systems.
• Experience defining system performance and component specifications.
• Experience measuring and modeling optical scatter.

Education/Experience:

• Advanced degree in the field of Optical Sciences, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field or equivalent experience.
