Optical Engineer

AOM is bringing decades of experience in optical metrology expertise to bear on some of the most demanding optics applications on earth – the fast-growing commercial space telescope industry, extreme precision optics for EUV lithography, and a host of other consumer, research, and industrial technologies that will shape humanity’s future through optics.

We are a fast-growing optics metrology business supporting amazing technology development all around the world.We operate with the pace and feel of a tech startup with the security of a mature technology at its core.It’s challenging, fun, and offers many opportunities to learn and grow for a motivated Optical Engineer.

Our products and services include:

• Computer Generated Holograms (CGHs) enabling interferometric testing of optical surfaces – aspheres, freeforms, cylinders, conic sections, and many other complex surface shapes and optical systems
• Mechanics for precise positioning and alignment of CGHs and test optics
• Development of complete optical test setups for the fast-growing commercial space telescope industry, consumer electronics customers, the semiconductor lithography industry, and many other applications.

Essential Functions

• Highly skilled in optical modeling in Zemax, including macros and linking extensions
• Experience withInterferometric optical testing, including test setups, making measurements, and reducing data
• Comprehension of optical drawings and specifications, and ability to translate these into feasible metrology solutions, including error budget and test uncertainty estimates
• Proficiency with programming languages Matlab, C, Java, and Python
• Occasional customer site visits and tradeshow participation to demonstrate use of our products
• Develop detailed reports and customer-facing documentationfor custom CGH designs

Qualifications

The successful candidate will possess these skills and qualifications:

• BSin Optical Engineering and 5years'practical experience in related field, or MS with 3 years' experience
• Proficient in optical design and analysis in Zemax
• Strong programming skills a plus
• Hands-on experience setting up and aligning optical systems, making precision measurements with Interferometer, CMM, laser trackers is a plus
• Understanding of optical surface specification, GD&T, kinematic constraints, and experience putting these ideas into practice is a plus
