| Job Description | POSITION OVERVIEW
We are looking for someone to help create the future of augmented reality
technology. Our ideal candidate feels comfortable with challenging, cutting-edge
products and is passionate about finding unique, elegant solutions to difficult
problems. This position will entail working on revolutionary new products in the
field of augmented reality/4D. The engineer will be in charge of optical engineering,
including defining requirements and modeling and testing designs.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Planning and Analysis – The Optics Engineer will plan and model optics
projects to achieve an optimal user experience. This task requires the ability
to coordinate with embedded systems engineers and software engineers to
achieve a product satisfying all operational parameters.
Design and Delivery – Based on plans, the Optics Engineer will prototype and
test solutions for optics. The engineer will home in on one design after
choosing a viable prototype and first create a polished design and then later,
work with process engineers to adapt the design to mass production. In
each step, testing protocols for consistency and quality will be implemented.
Evaluation and Follow-Up – The optics engineer will work with hardware
engineers and vision scientists to create proper evaluation criteria for the
optics setup. This will involve objective metrics for the optics as well as more
subjective measurements of image quality in concordance with human vision
biological factors.
Maintaining Technical Knowledge – The successful candidate will keep
current on our commonly used systems through courses, reading, and
hands-on application practice.
