About the role

  • Develop optical techniques for physical sensing, including measurement of microscopic displacement, velocity, and rotation.
  • Contribute expertise to optical component selection, custom design and characterization, and instrument system design and testing.
  • Simulate performance of new designs, conduct experiments to discover and understand discrepancies between simulated and actual performance, and optimize design parameters.
  • Contribute to algorithm development for simulation, data analysis, and operation of software-defined sensor instruments.
  • Document all work and prepare reports for internal use, external publication, or patents as appropriate.
  • Continuously learn and apply knowledge from other areas of science and engineering (electronics, mechanics, physics, signal processing, etc.) to help develop complete instruments as part of a multidisciplinary team.
  • Develop robust, cost-effective, and manufacturable optical instrument products based on results of technology research.
  • Work with external suppliers to select components or design custom optics as needed.
  • Plan and conduct product verification testing, debugging, and optimization to ensure quality.
  • Provide manufacturing documentation for optical subsystems, and work with manufacturing engineers to launch and support new optical instrument products.
  • Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams and communicate and document work diligently.

Requirements
