R&D Optical Engineer
Descrizione dell'offerta
We are looking for a highly motivated Optical Engineer to join the Computational and Scan Engines team. The Optical Engineer will participate to the definition of the Optical topics under the leadership of his/her supervisor and will autonomously develop some of the elements.
The duties and responsibilities of the Optical Engineer include:
- to design and develop receiving and illumination subsystems for optoelectronic devices such as miniaturized 2D and 3D cameras
- to design optical components, such as receiving lenses for image sensors, laser or LED pattern projectors to be integrated into miniaturized cameras, deflecting mirrors, spectral filters and reading windows
- to design/simulate imaging and non-imaging optics through ray tracing software (e.g. Zemax, Speos etc etc)
- to contribute to design optical systems that include tunable/movable parts such as liquid-lenses, VCM, other tunable lenses
- to define detailed requirements of new optical parts to be designed, starting from requirements of new products to be developed
- to collaborate with other R&D functions (i.e. Systems, Mechanical, Electrical and Software Engineering, Purchasing, Quality & Reliability teams) in the definition of feasibility-analysis and validation plans of new products to be developed
- to define and agree test pass-criteria with suppliers of the designed parts to be prototyped and then produced in mass volumes
- to perform measurements and functional tests on prototypes and alpha/beta samples of the designed parts/systems, to characterize them by using the needed instruments and equipment
- to support Advanced Manufacturing Engineering team in implementing and optimizing mass-production processes involving optical parts/systems
- to support Procurement team in scouting and assessing new suppliers of optical components
- to perform analysis of competitor products and IP analysis
- to perform proof of concept related to new promising optical technologies
- to perform image sensor pixel performance characterization in conformity to EMVA-1288 standard
Core Competence Requirements:
The ideal candidate should have the following skills:
- Education: Master’s Degree in Optical Engineering or Electrical/Electronic Engineering or Physics;
- Languages: Italian, Fluent english;
- Experience: 4/5 years >Optical measurements and characterizations through laboratory equipment for imaging lens performance assessment and light source characterization.
- Skilled in both simulation and experimental activities
- Good programming skills in high-level software such as Matlab or Python for analyzing simulation and experimental data
Preferred skills include:
- Good command of Zemax OpticStudio®
- Good command of MathWorks® MATLAB or Python
- Knowledges of image sensor characterization in conformity to EMVA-1288 standard
- Analytical, critical and lateral thinking
- Attention to detail, willingness to succeed
