Job description

  • Implement the refraction platform in a virtual/mixed reality environment: temporal stimulus control, hardware-software synchronization, and calibration.
  • Participate in the development of the system’s control, data acquisition, and processing software (primarily Python; Matlab as support).
  • Participate in the development of the binocular version of the system, with independent refractive control for each eye (sphere, cylinder, and axis).
  • Contribute to the evolution of the products from the laboratory prototype to the version suitable for clinical use.
  • Document the technical work clearly and in a structured manner, in accordance with the requirements of a medical device.
  • Work in coordination with the CSIC scientific team and disseminate the results in publications and conferences in the field.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Engineering (Electronics, Industrial, Biomedical), Physics, Optics, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Strong and demonstrable programming skills in Python.
  • Prior experience (professional, in R&D, or in research projects) in technical development, beyond the purely academic sphere.
  • Autonomy, initiative, and the ability to assume responsibility for complete parts of the system.
  • Advanced English, both spoken and written.

Desirable

  • Experience with optical systems, scientific instrumentation, or measuring equipment.

About the company

SureVision Tech is a high-impact startup with the potential to revolutionize the vision care industry. We have developed a disruptive visual prescription device that makes the process faster and more precise, significantly improving its efficiency. This project is not only a scientific breakthrough, but also an exceptional business opportunity to bring cutting-edge technology to the market.

As a young and rapidly growing company, we operate at the intersection of optical engineering and digital health. We are currently progressing from prototype development to clinically and commercially ready products. This work is being carried out in collaboration with the CSIC (Spanish National Research Council), in a world-class optical research environment.

Regarding the position

We are looking for an engineer with strong programming skills and professional experience, who wants to take real responsibility for the technical development of a high-precision instrument and develop an industrial doctoral thesis.

The position is part of an Industrial Doctorate (D.I.), developed at SureVision and co-directed with the Visual Optics and Biophotonics laboratory of the CSIC Instituto de Óptica, in which product development forms the basis of the doctoral thesis.

The work focuses on the company’s priority development lines, aimed at creating new products based on SureVision technology, including the development of our refraction technology on a virtual/mixed reality platform.
