Required skills include expertise in electro-optical systems, image quality metrics like luminance and MTF, and statistical fluency. The work focuses on solving complex opto-mechanical problems and ensuring optical performance through rigorous lab and field testing.

What you'll do

  • Lead the integration and testing of novel optical test stations for near-to-eye displays.
  • Manage optical suppliers to procure elements, provide technical oversight, and resolve anomalies.
  • Develop and deploy display test stations from initial requirements through vendor build and qualification.
  • Generate alignment plans and procedures for optical test equipment.
  • Manage integration and test vendors to scale production of complex display assemblies.
  • Develop test setups and procedures to transition products from R&D to production.
  • Qualify measurement capabilities using Gauge R&R, MSA, and measurement uncertainty analysis.
  • Analyze prototype and production optical system performance errors to determine root causes.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Optical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience delivering production-ready optical test stations to a supplier factory.
  • Knowledge of image quality metrics, data analysis methods, and electro-optical system design and manufacturing.
  • Working knowledge of display and imaging metrics including luminance, chromaticity, uniformity, contrast, MTF, and distortion.
  • Demonstrated experience in the integration, test, and performance requirements verification and validation of optical systems.
  • Experience working with international suppliers of optical or display products.
  • Experience in prototype and production development, including testing and demonstration.
  • Willingness to travel domestically and internationally up to 25% of the time.
