We are seeking a motivated Junior Optical Engineer to contribute to the development and support of our optical metrology, imaging, and automation systems. This role provides an excellent opportunity to apply fundamental knowledge of optical design, analysis, and testing in a professional setting.
The ideal candidate should have a solid understanding of optical principles and be eager to apply their skills to real-world projects. Familiarity with optical measurement equipment such as lens systems, colorimeters, spectrometers, and MTF measurement systems is highly beneficial. Some tasks will require manual dexterity when working with these systems. Experience with optical design tools like Zemax, Code V, or TracePro is also advantageous but not required. You will collaborate with senior engineers on projects involving optical components, imaging systems, and opto-mechanical systems.
