The Display Module Optical Engineer joins the hardware team to develop module-level integration processes for advanced optical components in future display systems. This role involves driving the implementation of emerging technology platforms into final products by performing system-level modeling, defining module-level specifications, and leading engineering builds to meet program milestones. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams and global suppliers to optimize system performance, conduct optical failure analysis, and define measurement methodologies. Required expertise includes optical design, characterization, physical and geometrical optics, and semiconductor optoelectronics. Candidates should possess skills in optical measurement systems, data acquisition tools like Python and LabVIEW, statistical analysis using JMP and MATLAB, and optical simulation software including LightTools, FDTD, Zemax, and Code V to solve complex display technology challenges.
Define module-level specifications and drive requirements through design, validation, and mass production readiness.
Translate system-level requirements into optical design targets and perform trade-space analyses.
Plan and lead engineering builds to meet program goals and deliver key milestones.
Develop and implement advanced performance metrics and corresponding technical specifications.
Lead optical failure analysis and drive corrective actions and mitigations.
Define measurement methodologies and data-analysis workflows with optical metrology teams.
Perform system-level modeling to support design decisions and validate system behavior.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's Degree in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with 10+ years of relevant experience.
Master's or PhD in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field with 5+ years of relevant experience (preferred).
Experience in optical design and characterization, optical modeling, physical and geometrical optics, semiconductor optoelectronics, display technologies, sensor technologies, and statistical analysis.
Experience leading engineering builds, planning test activities, and managing readiness of module deliverables across development phases.
Experience with optical measurement systems for characterization, testing, and validation.
Experience with tools for data acquisition and analysis (Python, LabVIEW), statistical analysis (JMP, MATLAB), and optical simulation (LightTools, FDTD, Zemax, Code V) (preferred).
Experience with display optics (preferred).
Experience in module engineering, module integration, or high-volume manufacturing processes (preferred).
