Senior Optical Design Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Facilitate the optical specifications, lens design, and supplier integration of new optics enabled products for the Optics Development Engineering group.

• Effective use of Code V or Zemax to design low residual aberration generating imaging lenses, relays, spatial/polarization beamsplitters and zoom lenses both from nominal design process to final Monte Carlo tolerance analysis and error budgeting.

• Construct complex system models using above components having all imaging paths with critical parameters needed to produce accurate and efficient raytracing simulations of Strehl/WFE performance, coherent and incoherent PSF size/shape, focal depth of field and pupil, multiple bounce ghost and non-sequential stray light analysis, and polarization ray tracing to quantify transmission, retardance, diattenuation.

• Interferometry experience preferred.

Education or experience should include:

• Designing, modeling and analyzing optical systems

• Optical manufacturing processes

• Code V or Zemax Optical software advanced user

• Statistical lens tolerancing

• Ghost and stray light analysis

• Design for manufacturing based on capabilities of Optical metrology

• Specification of precision opto-mechanical assemblies; and

• Data analysis using Matlab or other programs. Any suitable combination of education, training, or experience is acceptable.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Doctorate (Academic) Degree and 0 years related work experience; Master's Level Degree and related work experience of 3 years; Bachelor's Level Degree and related work experience of 5 years
