Über uns As a Senior Engineer for Optical Design at SCHOTT, you will be instrumental in the development of next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) systems. You will join a dynamic and global team that transforms innovative concepts into products through optical and mechanical design, advanced simulation techniques and iterative prototyping. We seek individuals who excel in teamwork, can generate bold ideas, explore new technological areas, and drive concepts from prototypes to high-volume consumer products. This technical lead role involves close collaboration with optical, process, reliability, and material science engineers, as well as project managers and operations teams, to advance designs, processes, and tools from concept to engineering validation builds. Our fast-paced environment is driven by highly self-motivated individuals. The ideal candidate will continuously enhance their knowledge and expertise in new AR display technologies, optical design, simulation, and manufacturability. Ihre Aufgaben Design waveguides and waveguide components from concept to completion, collaborating with internal and external cross-functional partners to meet optical requirements. Propose prototypes of waveguides or intermediate components and design experiments (DOEs) to evaluate design or process concepts. Design, execute, and analyze experiments to inform design decisions and process development. Manage development projects for new product development or product and process improvement and lead and support process validation studies and proof-of-concept waveguide builds. Evaluate and optimize current components based on measurement data and simulation performance data. Perform optical sensitivity and tolerance analysis of product designs based on simulation and sampling data. Analyze performance data from production and development lines, detect trends, and correlate OQC with IPQC to enhance line stability and product quality. Derive optical / functional product specifications, collaborating with internal and external customers. Ihr Profil MS in Optical Engineering, or equivalent experience; a PhD is a plus Experienced optical engineer or optical designer with proficiency in optical simulation tools, such as ZEMAX OpticStudio or LightTools. Knowledge of image processing and optical-display metrics, such as MTF, contrast, luminance, uniformity, etc. Proficiency in data processing using Python, etc. Experience in optical Monte Carlo tolerancing and sensitivity studies. Familiarity with optical component manufacturing and statistical process control. Ideally experienced in 3D mechanical engineering geometrical tolerancing (CAD).
