Job Description

The Senior Optical Instrumentation Architect will specify, design, and validate novel measurement systems for next-generation light field cameras and 3D displays used in metrology applications. Responsibilities include defining instrument specifications based on metrology requirements, designing optical system architectures, benchmarking various optical architectures, and collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to build and validate prototypes. Data collection and analysis are also crucial aspects of this role. The position requires a strong theoretical and experimental background in optical engineering, experience with optical instrument design, manufacturing, and operation for metrology applications, and proficiency in data analysis using Matlab/Python.

Must have:

Industry R&D background (5+ years)
Strong theoretical/experimental background in Optical Engineering
Advanced knowledge in design, manufacturing, and operation of optical instruments for metrology applications
Experience writing technical specifications for optical systems
Data analysis using Matlab/Python
Calibration and manufacturing of optical instruments
Experience with depth reconstruction (e.g., stereographic cameras)
Development of 3D displays, 3D sensors, Lidar, Shack-Hartmann sensors, Optical tomography, or Holography
Self-motivated, excellent communication skills

Good to have:

Experience with optical design tools (Zemax, Code V)
Experience with mechanical CAD tools (Solidworks, Siemens NX, Autodesk Inventor)
Ability to leverage opto-mechanical FEA results
Knowledge of optical manufacturing & assembly limits
