Optics Design Expert - Wave-Optics / HOE / Optical Display
We are currently partnered with a world leading research centre in Germany looking to expand their team with a Wave Optics Design Expert. You would join an expanding team of engineers working on the development of cutting edge HOEs and metasurfaces for applications across optical displays and automotive LiDAR.
This is a permanent position based in Jena, Germany.
Key Responsibilities:
* Conduct research and design in wave-optics for HOEs and/or metasurfaces.
* Translate application requirements into design solutions and system simulations, leading to proof-of-concept and prototypes.
* Track advanced technologies, explore new approaches, and contribute to future business directions.
* Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and industry partners to deliver on project goals.
Key Requirements:
* PhD in Optics or related field (preferred).
* Proven experience designing and developing HOE or metasurface devices for beam shaping, polarization conversion, and imaging.
* Strong theoretical grounding in wave optics with working knowledge of geometric optics.
* Proficiency in optical design/simulation tools: VirtualLab, FDTD, Comsol, Zemax, LightTools, CodeV.
* Programming experience (Python, MATLAB) is a plus.
