Optical Test Engineer with SW Dev – Sunnyvale, CA

Engineering Skill Set:

· Use metrology (measurement) equipment to characterize optical components of a VR (Virtual Reality) system.

· Characterization of optical components include:

o Roughness or geometry profile of optical elements such as lenses.

o Color profile or spectral response of displays, lenses, etc.

o Thickness, flatness, and parallelism of optical components.

o MTF, PSF, ESF are linked to the optical response of optical elements.

o Polarization or spectral response of optical elements.

· Alignment of optical components for testing and characterization.

· Create test experiments and jigs to perform analysis on optical components.

· Relay experiment results to the engineering team for feedback on optical design.

· Use ImageMaster Opti-Centric to center optical components for testing.

· Use ImageMaster HR for MTF measurements and characterization.

· Use interferometers to test films, lenses, and surfaces geometry and thickness.

· Characterize display color spectrum and intensity of pixels.

· Work on the development of new technology for VR systems including:

o Projection technology.

o Light modulation (standard lenses, Fresnel lenses, Meta-lens, thin films).

o Polarization control technology (Beam splitters, mirrors, and birefringence).

o Simulation for optical systems.

o Optical filtering (Thin films, filters, diffusers, polarizers, color filters, selective mirrors).

o Waveguides and prism technology.

SW Development Skill Set:

· Computer Vision Models/Programs are a must. Examples includes Image Processing, MATLAB, Optical Flow, etc.

· Advanced SW Skills is a must. Python is preferred but also will consider candidates who are fluent in Java and C++

· Working experience around AI is also a huge plus
