Optical Sensing HW – Design Verification Engineer – Laser Sensing

Key QualificationsStrong opto-electrical lab experience, with a proven track record of bringing aa design-mindset to characterization and measurement.Expertise in ground-up development of custom setups leveraging advanced tools in optical / electrical metrology, including oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrometers, free-space optics, cameras detectors (and associated analog signal conditioning/amplification), etc.Competency with Matlab or Python (or C/C++, C#, etc) for modeling, data acquisition, and data analysis.Experience in characterization and metrology of optical sensors preferredExperience supporting volume manufacturing of optical systems is a plus, specifically the validation of production test via lab measurements and leading failure analysis for first-of-a-kind technologies.Excellent written and verbal communication skills;Description-Design, specify, build, and operate custom characterization equipment for first-of-a-kind optical sensors. When appropriate, enable lab technicians and contract support staff to operate these tools through your reliable design. -Lead hypothesis-driven characterization and failure analysis to provide early-stage design feedback to a cross-functional team including mechanical engineers, optical designers, and manufacturing experts.-Support root cause analysis with optical simulation using homemade tools or commercial packages such as Zemax or LightTools.-Failure mode analysis, root-cause diagnosis, and system-level problem solving. Analyze data to draw conclusions, enhance product design/manufacturability -Travel to support design/production/supplier teams as necessary. Business travel to support product development (up to 10%), when consistent with public health guidance on travel.Education & Experience- Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Optics, Physics, or bachelors degree and work experience in the area.
