TL;DR · Staff Optical Test & Calibration Engineer, AR/VR Displays

Staff Optical Test & Calibration Engineer, AR/VR Displays joins the Warfighter Systems team to develop and optimize advanced display test and calibration processes for the EagleEye system. This role involves leading the integration of novel optical test stations for near-to-eye displays, managing vendor relationships for procurement and production scaling, and developing alignment plans for optical equipment. The engineer will transition products from R&D to production by qualifying measurement capabilities through Gauge R&R, MSA, and measurement uncertainty analysis while analyzing performance errors to determine root causes. Key technical requirements include expertise in electro-optical systems, image quality metrics such as luminance, chromaticity, white point, uniformity, contrast, MTF, and distortion, along with proficiency in statistical methods like SPC, Cp, Cpk, and DOE. The role focuses on solving complex opto-mechanical problems within the mixed reality domain to enhance situational awareness for warfighters.

What you'll do

  • Lead the integration and testing of novel optical test stations for near-to-eye displays.
  • Manage optical suppliers to oversee procurement, technical requirements, and acceptance test verification.
  • Develop and deploy display test stations from initial requirements through installation at contract manufacturers.
  • Create alignment plans and procedures for specialized optical test equipment.
  • Oversee integration and test vendors to scale the production of complex display assemblies.
  • Design and review test setups and data to transition products from R&D to production.
  • Qualify measurement capabilities using Gauge R&R, MSA, and measurement uncertainty analysis.
  • Analyze prototype and production performance errors to determine root causes for optical systems.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Optical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience delivering production-ready optical test stations to supplier factories.
  • Knowledge of electro-optical system design, specification, development, manufacturing, and testing.
  • Working knowledge of display and imaging metrics such as luminance, chromaticity, uniformity, and MTF.
  • Demonstrated experience in the integration, test, and performance verification of optical systems.
  • Experience working with international suppliers of optical or display products.
  • Experience in prototype and production development, including testing and demonstration.
  • MS in Optical Science or Engineering (preferred); statistical fluency with Gauge R&R, MSA, SPC, and DOE (preferred).
