Key Responsibilities:
  • Conduct optics research and design for optical systems from theory to demonstration in optics lab, to writing scientific papers and detailed technical reports.
  • Model and design optical components and systems using Zemax, Code V, or OSLO.
  • Assemble optical setups to measure and investigate new ideas and characterize different elements or systems.
  • Lead hardware prototyping efforts: build, characterize, and refine prototypes and optical subsystems for new display technologies.
  • Design and implement calibration setups for prototyping and production, including benchmarking and quality control.
  • Use LabVIEW, MATLAB, or C++ to automate optical measurements.
  • Use engineering best practices and optics knowledge to troubleshoot and optimize hardware.
Requirements:
  • Must have an MS (Ph.D. preferred) in EE (optics) or a related subject such as experimental physics with 5+ years experience.
  • Expertise in building optical setups, and conducting research and design ideally for spatial/beam optics, including characterizing optical surfaces, liquid crystals, and optical film sciences.
  • Knowledge of optical properties of materials such as plastics, metal, adhesives, and glass.
  • Deep comfort with fundamental optical engineering concepts, including polarization, aberration, MTF, RMS wavefront error, haze, straylight management, optomechanical hardware, and real-world limitations of optical components.
  • Experience designing optical systems in Zemax, TracePro, CodeV, OSLO, Lumerical, or COMSOL for applications in illumination optics, display systems, or backlight design.
  • Proficiency in one or more scientific computer languages (e.g., MATLAB, Mathematica, C/C++/C#, Python, etc.) for designing and modeling optical systems.
  • Track record of transitioning from prototyping to industrial manufacturing.
Preferred Skills:
  • Exposure to computational imaging/display techniques.
  • Competency in electromagnetic modeling and analysis of nanoscale structures, anisotropic materials, films, or holographic elements using FFT, FEM, or FDTD simulation tools.
  • Experience in 3D design software such as SolidWorks, KeyCreator, Rhino, CATIA, or Adobe Illustrator, or similar software with optical functionality.
  • Experience in structure design and tolerance analysis using software such as SolidWorks.
  • Understanding of mechanical engineering principles or experience designing mechanical constraints of PCBs, FPCs, etc.
  • Exposure to developing manufacturing processes for coatings and lamination, such as molding, replication, or diamond turning.
  • Mass production-related experience, e.g., technical discussions with suppliers.

We offer a competitive compensation package, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to work with a cutting-edge display technology company. If you are a motivated and experienced Sr. Optics Engineer, please apply today or send an updated copy of your resume to [CyberCoders email] for immediate consideration.
