Optical Engineer
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
Engineering and analysis using MATLAB, Python, or COMSOL Multiphysics
Optomechanical development using SolidWorks, CATIA, or Creo
Optical measurement and characterization, including interferometry, MTF analysis, beam profiling, or spectrometry
Working in Agile or Scrum-based development environments
You do not need to have experience with every tool or area listed above. We are interested in candidates with a solid foundation
in optical engineering who want to continue developing their expertise through technically challenging assignments.
