Optical Engineer III
The main function of an optical engineer is to develop new concepts and technologies for next generation near-eye displays (neds), projectors, cameras and sensors including integrated optics, structured light, depth sensing, polarization optics, and optical system design.
Job responsibilities include:
- Work with a small team of optical scientists in developing imaging systems for ar and vr applications
- Model and prototype critical technologies to drive system performance and validation
- Research and develop emerging concepts in imaging systems and optical systems in support of neds
- Support the evaluation and characterization of optical components and system integrations
- Collaborate with the larger research team to explore concepts and drive optical system development to create compelling experiences
- Drive supplier choice, interaction, and management in order to deliver prototypes in support of concept demonstrations
- Establish specifications for display and imaging systems to ensure a successful product
Skills required include:
- Experience in applied research and/or product development of optics or photonic systems
- Experience with one or more of the following optics technologies: illumination, radiometry/photometry, stray light analysis, physical optics, or imaging
- Experience with laboratory work setting up optical systems and experience with methods and tools for fabrication of optics (molded, polished, diamond turned) as well as microstructures
- Designing optical tools and methods such as fred, asap, lighttools, or zemax
- Ability to work with minimal direction and managing a project independently from start to finish
- Working, communicating, and collaborating in a cross-functional team environment
- Experience in radiometric calibration, signal-to-noise measurement, and modeling of imaging systems
