Job Description:
Optical Engineer, Design Validation (CW)
Description: We are looking for an Optical Engineer with passion for new technology development to join our team, whose mission is to deliver beyond state-of-the-art Waveguide Technologies for consumer near to eye displays at our research and development facilities. We are looking for a candidate with experience in Client optical device design and metrology either as part of their PhD or industry experience.
Responsibilitie s Collaborate closely with technical leadership team, technical program managers and other research scientists and engineers to devise and execute on design validation of Client optical devices towards program priorities Design, build and validate Client optical metrology systems towards supporting design validation activities Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, productization and system engineering teams to lead and support activity on research prototypes and scale up including pilot scale ramp and technology transfer to contract manufacturer.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS PhD degree in the field of Engineering, Optical Sciences, Physics experience in diffractive optics design, free-space optics, optical alignment or optomechanics years of experience with scientific programming languages such as LabView, MATLAB, Python, Mathematica, or similar. years of experience in statistical data analysis
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Experience in electromagnetic modeling and analysis of nanoscale structures, metastructures, anisotropic materials, films, or holographic elements, using algorithms such as RCWA or FDTD. Experience in optical metrology tools such as interferometry, image quality testing, and polarization test Experience in LabView programming Experience in one or more optical design tools such as VirtualLab, Code V, Zemax, Light Tools or FRED. Years of experience in hardware prototyping (e.g., bench prototyping, basic electronics, and software system integration).
Must-Have Skills 1. Expertise in diffractive optics, free-space optics, optical alignment, or optomechanics 2. Proficiency with scientific programming languages (LabView, MATLAB, Python, Mathematica, etc.) 3. Experience in statistical data analysis 4. PhD degree in the field of Engineering, Optical Sciences, Physics,etc.
Nice-to-Have Skills 1. Electromagnetic modeling and analysis of nanoscale/metastructures (RCWA, FDTD algorithms) 2. Hands-on experience with optical metrology tools (interferometry, image quality, polarization testing) 3. Proficiency in optical design software (VirtualLab, Code V, Zemax, LightTools, FRED)
Degrees/Certifications Required:
PhD degree in the field of Engineering, Optical Sciences, Physics
Day-to-Day Responsibilities • Collaborate closely with technical leadership team, technical program managers and other research scientists and engineers to devise and execute on design validation of Client optical devices towards program priorities • Design, build and validate Client optical metrology systems towards supporting design validation activities • Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, productization and system engineering teams to lead and support activity on research prototypes and scale up including pilot scale ramp and technology transfer to contract manufacturer.
Companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon that operate in this area are considered a plus
How will progress be evaluated? Fulfilling all tasks and responsibilities, working independently, and demonstrating Strong problem-solving skills Candidate Value Proposition
What makes this role attractive to top talent, and what unique value does it offer to the ideal candidate? Driving innovation in AR research by developing the next generation of Orion technology and advancing waveguide solutions for immersive augmented reality experiences.
Screening Process • Format: 1 round, panel interview with 2-3 interviewers • Duration: 1 hour • Focus: Q&A covering diffractive optics, hands-on experimental experience, and discussion of the candidate's PhD work
