Optical Engineer

Job Description Summary: • In this role, you will collaborate with a team of scientists and engineers to predict and improve system-level performance of novel products and prototypes. • Using internally developed simulation tools—including an existing display emulation codebase in MATLAB. • you will analyze results to directly enhance product and prototype performance while improving the codebase's maintainability, efficiency, and capabilities. Responsibilities: • Code refactoring in IQToolbox. • Use simulation tools to model end-to-end performance of display systems • Report analysis of these simulations to establish specifications for these display systems and ensure a successful product • Collaborate with the larger research team to explore concepts and drive system performance to create compelling experiences Years of Experience: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience. Degrees/Certifications Required: BS in Engineering, Physics, Optics, Computer Science, Color Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent Top 3 must-have HARD skills: • Deep proficiency in MATLAB • Signal and image processing knowledge, • Experience with source control • Strong software development skills • Experience with Python Good to have skills: • Signal/Image processing • Mathematical modeling and simulation • Color science • Knowledge of display technologies (µLED, OLED, LCD, LCOS, DMD) or display pipeline architecture • Familiarity with display metrology/calibration, image quality metrics, or human perception • Prior work experience preferred but not required Candidate Disqualifiers: Difficulties: There is a steep learning curve in becoming familiar with the code base and what it does.
