Principal Opto-Mechanical Engineer
Magic Leap is a pioneer in spatial computing, developing groundbreaking augmented reality technology that seamlessly blends digital content with the real world. As the creator of the next computing platform, our mixed reality devices unlock new possibilities for how people interact with and experience their surroundings. Magic Leap could be your place if you want to be part of a united team where everyone is empowered and trusted to make an impact. At Magic Leap, you can explore innovative solutions and use your talents to solve real-world problems. Working alongside industry experts, you can grow your skills and amplify human potential at the intersection of the physical and digital worlds. We know that successful change and progress accelerate diverse perspectives. As we shape our future, everyone's voice matters. Together, we can reimagine the world of work and, with our bold partners, make the impossible possible. The Opportunity
As a Principal Opto-Mechanical Engineer within our Optical Engineering team, you will contribute to our product development by delivering designs, analysis, building and testing state of the art optical assemblies. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team that brings virtual display concepts to reality. This role is based at our Boulder, CO office and will require you to come into our office regularly. What You'll Do
Lead development of tools for assembly and characterization of novel AR technology demonstration devices Support product design activities focused around the virtual image generation subsystems Prepare and review ASME Y14.5/ISO GPS compliant technical drawings Create new system concepts incorporating miniature optics into novel opto-electronic devices Participate in activities related to design, fabrication, operation, application, testing, prototype assembly, and production activities in the office Develop procedures and documentation for alignment and assembly of optical assemblies and sub-assemblies Work closely with local shops, CMs, and cross-functional internal Magic Leap teams to: evaluate DFM feedback, analyze its impact on system performance, and integrate required design changes into complex consumer devices Participate in collaborative meetings with multidisciplinary teams to design fixtures, calibration equipment or production components Contribute to technical design reviews with the Program Manager representing the concerns of their functional specialty on the product development team The Experience You Bring
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field 10+ years of related professional experience Hands-on experience using precision mechatronics for assembly and inspection of opto-mechanical systems. Knowledge of motion control hardware and prototype equipment design to support these activities. Experienced in GD&T and tolerance stack analysis Experienced in use of metrology tools such as CMMs/OCMMs and surface metrology tools (eg scanning confocal microscopes or white light interferometers) Knowledge of color science, colorimetry, image quality metrics (camera and display), and algorithms for digital image processing Experienced in application of precision optical design concepts including common optical alignment definitions/approaches, kinematic constraint, and athermalization Working knowledge of statistical processing software such as JMP Capable of developing concepts for fixtures, calibration equipment, or production components using 3D CAD (ie CREO) which meet the product requirements It's Exciting If You Also Have
Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline Experience working in the AR/VR industry Expert-level Creo/Windchill experience Knowledge of motion control software programming is a plus Experience working in clean room environments Experience in use of traditional machine tools like mills and lathes Experience with scripting in languages like Python or MATLAB Additional Information
