At Anteryon, we believe in the power of collaboration and partnerships. From the very beginning of every development, we are involved with our customers — co‑creating, developing together, generating value and making progress. Our vision is crystal clear:
We work transparently and share our talent, knowledge, and skills. We are driven to understand how the world works and are curious to innovate, design, optimize and stimulate new growth for all our team members and customers.

About Anteryon
Anteryon is an innovative high‑tech company serving industrial customers with a focus on Europe and the United States. We design and manufacture advanced optical assemblies and precision elements for the semiconductor and photonics markets. With our own core technology, we create win‑win situations that offer more opportunities for both people and the planet.

The job
As Optical Designer – Imaging Systems, you design and develop optical elements and subsystems that form a critical part of advanced camera and imaging systems.

You ensure that optical designs meet system‑level performance requirements while being robust, manufacturable, and scalable for series production. You collaborate intensively with process engineers, mechanical designers, and production teams to translate optical concepts into reproducible industrial solutions.

Tasks & Responsibilities

Design and optimize optical components and subsystems in line with system‑level architecture and performance budgets

Perform tolerance, stray‑light, and sensitivity analyses with explicit focus on manufacturability and production robustness

Translate optical performance requirements into practical manufacturing, alignment, and calibration constraints

Participate in system‑ and design‑level reviews

Interpret measurement and test results from prototyping and production and provide feedback for design or process improvements

Create and maintain optical design documentation supporting industrialization and volume production

Align with process engineers to ensure optical designs are compatible with existing and future production processes

Monitor new optical technologies and assess their applicability within scalable imaging system platforms

We are looking for

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics, Optics or a related field

At least 5 years of experience in optical design for imaging or sensing systems

Experience with optical design tools such as Zemax, Code V, Light Tools, or equivalent

Strong understanding of optical principles including imaging optics, diffraction and polarization

Proven experience designing optical solutions that have successfully transitioned into production

Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary, system‑driven development teams

Strong documentation and communication skills

Good command of both Dutch and English

We offer

A competitive salary depending on experience

25 vacation days and 5 additional leave days (with the option to purchase up to 8 extra days)

The opportunity to work at a highly innovative company where you learn something new every day

An extensive benefits package, including a generous pension plan
