Senior Optical Engineer

Our team seeks an experienced optical engineer with a background in optical design, analysis and integration.

As a senior optical engineer, you will be exposed to a wide range of optical design challenges, working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry to translate experimental concepts and requirements into engineered solutions.

As a team we encourage a proactive hands-on approach, giving our engineers the opportunity to research, design, build and test optical systems in a diverse and collaborative environment.

The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role.

Depending on business needs, this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties.

Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned.

• Collaboration with physicists, opto-mechanical, mechanical, electrical and software engineers to lead the development of optical systems for quantum sensing and computing

• From source to atom: Lead and execute the process from requirements and design to assembly and test for optical systems spanning laser distribution, modulation, delivery and imaging.

• Work at the component level up through to large sub-systems containing hundreds of precisely aligned optical elements.

• Optimise, analyse and tolerance optical designs using computational methods.

• Use simulation tools to guide design decisions and communicate findings to project leaders both verbally and through design documentation.

• Lead the design review process for optical systems.

• Validate and characterise optical components and systems for performance, reliability, and stability by formulating and executing structured test plans.
