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
