Optical Systems Engineer
Sunnyvale, CA
Optical Systems Engineer Responsibilities
- Influence cross-functional teams of engineers and managers to drive the development and delivery of robust optical systems.
- Collaborate with external industry partners to develop and mature state-of-the-art technologies (e.g. material, process, metrology, and design).
- Develop, execute, and track plans with all team members and communicate plans and updates with stakeholders, while aligning project schedules.
- Create plans and manage execution for the evaluation of prototype optical systems.
- Display effective organization skills and manage multiple and sometimes competing priorities.
- Define optical interface specifications and requirements for assembly and subassemblies of optical sub-systems.
- Create plans for the testing of components and sub-systems as the units become available and as metrology tools become available, prioritize testing and organize technician’s or engineer’s time on the testing of said tool and given samples.
- Bring real-world product development experience rigor to subcomponent test specification, and analytical review of performance and metrology data.
Minimum Qualifications
- Experience reviewing geometric optical systems in CAD tools such as Zemax, Code V or others. Experience in both sequential and non-sequential ray tracing, including stray light analysis.
- BS in the field of Engineering, Physics or Optics or related field. 6+ years of experience in developing and integrating optical sub-systems with multi-disciplinary teams.
- Experience with the specification of optical tolerances.
- Experience in opto-mechanical integration and system design.
- Experience in optical metrology.
- Experience with Radiometry and Photometry.
- Experience working in an optics lab environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing and modeling geometric optical systems in CAD tools such as Zemax, Code V or others.
- Experience with Monte Carlo optical tolerancing.
- Experience in Design for manufacturability (DfM) with proven track record of high-volume production.
- 10+ years of experience in developing optical systems with multi-disciplinary teams.
