Principal Optical Metrology Engineer

Work with Applied Perception Science, Product Optical Engineering and Systems Engineering teams to understand what matters in the product from a performance point of view.
" Take input and convert into parameters that can be objectively measured using off the shelf or custom instruments at the component, sub-system and the full system level.
" Drive simulation, modeling work streams to set specifications and allowable errors limits on the measured parameters so that the overall performance is good from the end use point of view.
" Define custom optical metrology instruments and methods.
" Work with metrology engineers on tester calibration and validation.
" Work with metrology engineers to perform measurement and analysis on optical modules and systems.
" Create and own optical characterization and validation plans.
" Present conclusive results and assess visual/optical performance given design goals and product requirements.
" Provide actionable recommendations and relevant failure analysis to debug or root-cause issues.
" Create/drive contents to run on prototypes to support visual evaluation or user studies.
" BS or MS in Optical Engineering, Vision Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering.
" 5+ years of experience in optical technologies.
" 4+ years experience with data and image analysis. High proficiency with analysis tools such as Python, MATLAB, C, Minitab or JMP.
" Experience with hands-on characterization of optical test systems, performing testing and validation of optical components and systems.
" Understanding of optical metrology fundamentals, system requirement definition, especially with regards to lens optics and display.
" Hands-on experience troubleshooting of optical systems failure analysis.
" Communication and presentation skills.
" Self-motivated, detail-orientated, and self-directed, with little supervision necessary.
" Experience working with uncertainty and ill-defined problems.
" Hands-on industrial experience with AR/VR products.
" Experience in one or more optical design tools such as Zemax, Code V, LightTools, FRED, or ASAP.
