Hands-on design and bring-up of characterization setups. Establish design verification goals and instrumentation requirements, develop and execute detailed characterization plans, and prioritize activities and next steps. Support verification of production test via electrical/optical design reviews and lab correlation measurements. Simulation/analysis using a variety of software tools to support design verification and characterization (e.g. Python, Matlab, Zemax, LightTools, JMP, etc.). Develop detailed models to determine SNR link budgets, and electrical and optical system integration requirements. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver state-of-the-art sensing solutions. Drive technical activities and discussions with external vendors. Lead hypothesis-driven failure analysis, root-cause diagnosis, and system-level problem solving to provide design feedback. Analyze data to draw conclusions and enhance product design/manufacturability. Travel to support design/production/supplier teams as necessary. Business travel to support product development (10%). Minimum Qualifications Strong background in optics, electrical engineering, optical sensor/system design, and optical test and metrology. Expertise in optical sensor development spanning concept design, hardware prototyping including interface of optical sensors with mixed signal electronic circuits, signal processing, design verification and problem solving in a rapid production environment. Experience in optical modeling (Zemax, LightTools, FDTD) a plus. Expertise in design and bring-up of opto-mechanical lab setups, sensor characterization, failure analysis and simulation correlation. Knowledge of electrical and optical test and metrology equipment, including profilers/cameras/detectors, power meters, spectrum analyzers, spectrometers, LED/laser drivers, and oscilloscopes. Expertise using Python, C/C++, C#, Matlab, or similar for modeling, lab equipment control, data acquisition, and data analysis. Excellent written and verbal communication skills; solid teamwork and leadership skills. BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant proven experience. Preferred Qualifications Experience supporting volume manufacturing of optical systems is a plus, specifically the verification of production test via lab measurements and leading failure analysis for first-of-a-kind technologies.
