You will collaborate with engineering partners and vendors to bring the first commercial generation of our precision instruments to market, with a strong focus on system reliability, alignment repeatability, and integration into automated workflows.
What is expected of you
- MSc degree with 5+ years of industry experience, or a PhD with at least 3+ years of industry experience.
- Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in designing and developing optical systems for scientific or industrial applications.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
- Strong foundation in opto-mechanical design, including GD&T, metrology, and manufacturing processes.
- Familiar with FEA and simulation tools.
- Skilled in system error budgeting and troubleshooting complex issues.
- Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with peers, present findings, and contribute to technical reports.
- Experience in laser beam shaping or microscopy is a strong plus.
Our benefits
- Competitive salary with equity participation.
- 30 days of paid vacation plus public holidays.
- Company-sponsored Wellpass membership.
- Annual learning and development budget.
- Regular off-sites and team events.
