The role of a Senior Optical Instrumentation Architect is to specify, design and validate novel measurement systems. The candidate will work in a group of scientists, responsible for developing next-generation light field cameras and 3D displays for metrology applications, including hardware, software, instruments and fixtures.
Responsibilities:
* Definition of instrument’s specifications based on metrology requirements
* Optical system architecture of novel light field camera and 3D displays.
* Benchmarking of various optical architectures to optimise value proposition for specific metrology use case.
* Work as a part of an interdisciplineary team to design, build and validate proof-of concept prototypes.
* Data collection and analysis for first prototypes
Mandatory Skills Description:
* Industry R&D background with at least 5 years work experience outside of academia
* Strong theoretical and experimental background in Optical Engineering
* Advanced knowledge and experience in design, manufacturing and operation of optical instruments for metrology applications.
* Experienced in writing technical specification for optical systems
* Data analysis using Matlab and/or Python (Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib)
* Familiar with calibration and manufacturing of optical instruments
* Hands-on experience in calibrating imaging optical systems, including depth reconstruction (e.g. stereographic cameras)
* Proven track record in the development of at least one of the following technologies:
* 3D Lenticular displays
* 3D Depth Sensors and Lidar
* Shack-Hartmann Sensors
* Optical tomography, holography
* Self-motivated, independent, and dedicated.
* Excellent English, Communication and presentation skills.
Nice-to-Have Skills Description:
* Hands-on experience in optical design tools (Zemax, Code V) are a plus.
* Hands-on experience in mechanical CAD tools (Solidworks, Siemens NX, Autodesk Inventor) is a plus.
* Ability to leverage optomechanical FEA results to the optical model is a plus
* Knowledge about optical manufacturing & assembly limits and artefacts is a plus
