Senior Optical Engineer (m/w/d) - 1 year contract

Project description

The role of an Optical Engineer is to design, debug and deploy effective measurement systems that include test methodology, hardware, software, instrument and fixture design.

Responsibilities

• Be part of a team that will support the integration of novel metrology solutions and communicate design decisions and strategies to a cross-functional team.
• Simulate how optical properties of the devices under test can be influenced by tolerances of the instrument.
• Bring up, debug and mature the measurement system during NPI cycle.
• Define and document the appropriate methodologies in the measurement.
• Design precise systems that can take the environment into account.
• Develop repeatable and reproducible instrumentation that meets product requirements.
• Collaborate across teams to create, define and document measurement metrics and specifications.
• Technical background in either optical engineering, lasers, microscopy or optics design
• Ability to build strong relationships with x-functional teams and vendors.
• Ability to explore potential technologies and work with suppliers on prototype development.
• Self-motivated, independent, and dedicated. Excellent English communication and presentation skills.
• Competence in data analysis and algorithm development in Python or Matlab.
• Hands-on experience in optical design (Zemax, Code V or LightTrans) are a plus.
