Job Description
Job Title: Optical Engineer, Design Validation
Duration: 24 Months
Location: Redmond WA
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 novel optical device design
and metrology either as part of their PhD or industry experience.
Optical Engineer Design Validation Responsibilities
? Collaborate closely with technical leadership team, technical program
managers and other research scientists and engineers to devise and
execute on design validation of novel optical devices towards program
priorities
? Design, build and validate novel 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.
? experience in hardware prototyping (e.g., bench prototyping, basic
electronics, and software system integration).
Minimum Years of Experience
5-7
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, Light
Tools, FRED)
