· Design and analyze optical components and subsystems (lenses, beam expanders, laser optics).

· Perform optical modeling and simulation using Zemax, Code V, or similar tools.

· Develop and interpret optical specifications and drawings (ISO 10110 preferred).

· Create and review mechanical CAD models and layouts using SolidWorks.

· Collaborate with senior engineers on system architecture and trade-off studies.

· Mentor engineers and support their professional development.

· Work with vendors on fabrication feasibility, materials selection, and coatings (e.g., AR coatings).

· Support prototype builds, alignment, testing, and characterization.

· Troubleshoot optical performance issues during development and early production.

· Document designs, analyses, and validation results.

· Present technical recommendations to cross-functional stakeholders.

Qualifications

· Bachelor’s degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, or related field.

· 6+ years of experience in optical design and analysis for product development.

· Proven track record of working on complex, high-impact projects.

· Experience in taking a concept from prototype to product.

· Proven track record of technical leadership.

Skills and Experience

· Working knowledge of Optical design tools (Zemax / Code V or equivalent), SolidWorks or similar CAD tools.

· Knowledge of geometric optics and basic wave optics.

· Knowledge of lens systems, optical materials, and Optical coatings (AR, reflectivity, durability considerations).

· Solid understanding of optical drawings, tolerancing, and manufacturing constraints.

· Hands-on experience with optical alignment and lab testing.

· Experience with aspheric optics preferred.

· Familiarity with ISO 10110 standards preferred.

· Familiarity with optical metrology tools (interferometers, beam profilers) preferred.
