WIT Recruiting
Overview
WIT Recruiting is looking for an Optical Engineer to design the next generation of lidar sensors. The ideal candidate will have experience designing and modeling optical and opto-mechanical systems to perform over a wide range of environments. This role will also collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and semiconductor experts to define and release products into high volume manufacturing. They should be comfortable simulating, designing and validating optical design with real world testing. RESPONSIBILITIES
Optical design of LiDAR for athermalization and shock/vibe scenarios Optical and opto-mechanical simulations to evaluate system performance and provide feedback for design trades Improve / design optical alignment and performance testing equipment Opto-mechanical conceptual design for next generation products Manage and provide technical feedback for work done by outside optical consultants Tolerancing and sensitivity analysis of optical and opto-mechanical components along with an understanding of reasonable fabrication tolerances Work with vendors to have high precision optical and opto-mechanical components fabricated and verified Generate novel IP and work with counsel to document inventions Work with quality team to ensure our products meet exacting automotive and industrial standards BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Strong optics fundamentals, with experience using multi-lens optical systems and semiconductor lasers Strong in Zemax (sequential and non-sequential) optical simulation software, for both optical design, tolerancing, and performance analysis Experience with hands-on, lab based optical test setups for validating optical performance metrics Proficient with high level programming language (Python, Matlab) for simulation and data analysis Experience managing optical component vendors and design consultants Experience working with multi-disciplinary team to iterate on system level solutions PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with Structural, Thermal, Optical Performance (STOP) analysis and athermal design are a plus. SolidWorks and ANSYS Mechanical are key tools. Experience working with optical systems designed for production quantities MS preferred in physics, optical engineering, mechanical engineering or equivalent Employment type
