Performing optical assembly, alignment, testing, troubleshooting, and characterization of complex, multi-channel optical systems.
Collaborating with physicists and optical, mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineers to integrate optical systems into experimental platforms.
Documenting designs, plans of action, test results, and procedures.
Supporting the continuous improvement for optical design workflows, laboratory procedures, documentation, and version control.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in optical engineering, physics, or a related field.
Hands-on experience with optical alignment and laboratory measurements.
Familiarity with Zemax (OpticStudio) for optical system design.
Strong experimental rigor and documentation habits.
Desire to learn basic SolidWorks.

WE HIGHLY VALUE:

Curiosity and enthusiasm for experimental optics.
Strong collaboration and communication skills.
