We are seeking a metrology engineer with experience in crafting and developing optical solutions for display/camera modules and components for AR applications. You will work on instrumentation design, development, validation, and in-house production deployment during New Technology Introduction (NTI) and/or New Product Introduction (NTI) stage with support from cross-functional teams.
Optical Metrology Engineer Responsibilities
- Develop testing and metrology capabilities for a broad range of optical parameters for imaging and non-imaging systems.
- Architecture design of optical test equipment for novel optical component, breakdown of architecture design into optical system and test equipment design.
- Design, build and qualify test equipment for optical performance measurement of novel components, modules and sub-assemblies.
- Work with vendors for development and qualification of tools and custom test systems, including statistical analysis controls and methods.
- Work with optical designers to create test plans for component and system validation.
- Debug and trouble-shooting issues with fabricated components and assess viability in terms of product requirements.
- Cross functional collaboration with optical designer, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and suppliers.
- 5-10% international travel
Minimum Qualifications
- BS or MS in Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience.
- Combination of education and experience in the research, development, and integration of optical systems or components including, but not limited to, imaging and display systems.
- Knowledge in one or more of following metrology areas: lens (e.g. eyeglasses), optical filter, waveguide, or camera.
- Familiarity with common interfaces for optical instrument, e.g. CCD/CMOS camera, spectrophotometers/spectroradiometer, imaging colorimeter, integrating sphere, etc.
- Experience in optical system design maturation, including requirement development from physical based modeling, and measurement system analysis, e.g. gauge r&R.
- Experience in one or more system optimization and analysis tools, such as MATLAB or Python.
- Interpersonal communication experience - experience working cross-disciplinary with a broad team.
Preferred Qualifications
- MS/Ph.D. in the field of Optical Sciences or Optical Engineering.
