Optical Test Engineer SW Dev – Sunnyvale, CA

Overview

Optical Test Engineer with SW Dev – Sunnyvale, CA

• Use metrology equipment to characterize optical components of a VR system.
• Characterize optical components including roughness or geometry profile of optical elements such as lenses; color profile or spectral response of displays, lenses, etc.; thickness, flatness, and parallelism of optical components.
• Assess optical performance metrics such as MTF, PSF, and ESF and relate them to the optical response of components.
• Evaluate polarization or spectral response of optical elements.
• Align 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 Image Master Opti-Centric to center optical components for testing.
• Use Image Master 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.
• Contribute to development of new technology for VR systems including projection technology, light modulation (standard lenses, Fresnel lenses, Meta-lens, thin films), polarization control technology (beam splitters, mirrors, birefringence), simulation for optical systems, optical filtering (thin films, filters, diffusers, polarize rs, color filters, selective mirrors), wave guides and prism technology.

• Computer Vision Models/Programs are essential (image processing, MATLAB, optical flow, etc.).
• Advanced software skills are required;
  Python preferred but Java and C++ fluency also considered.
• Working experience around AI is a plus.
