Optical Engineer

We are looking for Optical Engineers interested in consulting assignments within advanced product development and R&D. You will work with technically challenging products where optics is an important part of the overall system, collaborating with engineers from different disciplines to develop solutions from early concepts through verification. About the role The exact scope will depend on the client and assignment, but your work may involve: Developing and evaluating optical concepts and system solutions

Translating technical needs into optical requirements and specifications

Performing optical modelling, simulation, and analysis

Designing and developing lens, imaging, or illumination solutions

Building and evaluating prototypes

Planning and performing optical tests and measurements

Analysing test results and improving optical performance

Supporting verification and validation activities

Working closely with colleagues within areas such as mechanics, electronics, software, and systems engineering

Our clients operate in technology-intensive industries where optical engineering is an important part of product development. Who we are looking for We believe you have: A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Optical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering , or another relevant technical field

At least one year of professional experience within optical engineering, development, design, or testing

A strong technical interest and an analytical approach to problem-solving

The ability to understand technical requirements and turn them into practical engineering solutions

Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate with both technical specialists and other stakeholders

The ability to take responsibility for your own tasks and drive your work forward

Professional proficiency in English

Relevant technical experience Depending on your background, experience in one or more of the following areas is valuable: Optical modelling and simulation using tools such as Zemax OpticStudio, CODE V, or LightTools
