The Lead Opto‑Electronics Engineer is a senior technical leadership role focused on very low‑level light detection, optical imaging, and advanced photonic instrumentation. They will lead the development of high‑sensitivity detection systems with emphasis on maximizing signal‑to‑noise ratio through detector selection, amplifier architecture, low‑noise circuit design, and precision PCB layout. They will serve as a subject matter expert in photonic detectors and interfacing circuitry for scientific instrumentation.

Job Responsibilities

Design and develop ultra‑low‑noise, high signal‑to‑noise analog front‑end electronics for optical detection systems
Define requirements and specifications for photonic detectors (photodiodes, APDs, SPADs, SiPMs, and arrays) in collaboration with vendors
Lead development and evaluation of optical imaging and light collection systems for weak‑signal environments
Analyze detector physics, noise sources, and system‑level performance limitations
Research and evaluate emerging photonics and detector technologies to guide R&D direction
Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and knowledge transfer to engineering and research staff
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to support advanced instrumentation development programs
Continuously evaluate processes for improvements in efficiency, quality, and performance

PhD in a relevant technical discipline
Experience with photon counting and TCSPC (time‑correlated single photon counting)
Broad knowledge of modern photonics and optical sensing technologies
Demonstrated success in maturing complex technologies into commercially viable products
Experience working in multidisciplinary industrial research environments
Strong innovation track record (publications, patents, or advanced R&D contributions)
Proven leadership and project execution experience
