Optical Design Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Camera Optical Design Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will leverage your expertise in designing and tolerancing optical systems to drive the development of ultra-compact, high‑precision micro‑optical solutions. You will work from concept creation through mass‑production optimization, contributing to next‑generation optics and photonics technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Optical System Design & Development:

• Design optical systems, especially for multi lens design and evaluate their performance; simulation experience is an advantage.

• Propose optical design concepts, tolerance budgets, and qualification approaches.

• Contribute to proof‑of‑concept prototypes and novel technology development.

• Support optimization and manufacturability improvements for mass production.

2. Material & Documentation Management:

• Create and update optical design documentation, BOM, and engineering data.

• Provide specifications for optical components and ensure manufacturability alignment.

• Track and analyze optical performance data and simulation outputs.

3. System Integration & Cross‑Functional Collaboration:

• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure design compatibility.

• Support assembly process validation and design‑for‑manufacturing (DFM) reviews.

• Communicate technical findings, risks, and mitigation updates clearly across teams.

4. Testing, Validation & Analysis:

• Define optical testing and characterization methods.

• Perform sensitivity and tolerance analysis on optical systems.

• Support prototype builds and evaluate system performance.

• Conduct stray‑light analysis, physical optics modeling, or coherent optical analysis (as needed).

5. Issue Handling & Mitigation:

• Identify design risks and propose mitigation plans.

• Assist in resolving design‑related issues during build activities.

• Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.

English: Toeic 700 above

• Experience:

  – Minimum 5–10 years of relevant industry experience preferred.

  – Experience with commercial optical simulation tools (e.g., Zemax, Code V, FRED, LightTools).

• Skills:

  – Strong understanding of optical system design, tolerancing, and optimization, especially optics with multiple lens

  – Experience with MATLAB, Python, C, or similar programming tools.

  – Knowledge of incoherent and coherent optical system design.

  – Familiarity with sensing or metrology optical systems is an advantage.

  – Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.

  – Ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• MS or PhD in Optics, Physics, EE, or related fields. Open to both local and foreign candidates who meet the qualifications.

• Experience designing high‑precision micro‑optical systems.

• Background in stray light analysis, physical optics, or coherent optical effects.

Working Conditions:

• Full‑time, on‑site position.

• Occasional overtime may be required to support project milestones.

Application:

• CV in English.

• Onsite interview: Shortlisted candidates may be requested to present previous work or achievements.

• Qualification: Bachelor
• Age: Unlimited
• Job type: Permanent
