Design Engineer (Fresh Graduate)

The micro-optics designer is responsible for the development, simulation, and optimization of micro-optical components and systems used in high-precision optical applications such as sensor technology, imaging, telecommunications, and lithography. The aim of the position is to design innovative micro-optical solutions that combine technical performance, manufacturability, and cost optimization.

• Development and design of micro-optical components (e.g., microlens arrays, diffractive optics, etc.).

• Performing optical simulations (e.g., with Zemax, LightTools, COMSOL, Lumerical, or other FDTD/ray tracing tools).

• Work closely with manufacturing teams to ensure the manufacturability of the designed components.

• Define and evaluate design tolerances.

• Perform feasibility studies, prototype development, and design reviews.

• Support the integration of micro-optical components into complex optical systems.

• Document and present design results internally and to customers.

• Analyzing technical requirements and translating them into optical design specifications.

• Selecting suitable materials and technologies for the implementation of micro-optical structures.

• Supporting production in the transfer from prototype to series production.

Do you have experience in Python?, * Experience in the manufacture of optical components.

• Good knowledge of simulation and design of micro-optics using appropriate software.

• Experience with optical assemblies and components such as cameras, laser diodes, excimer lasers, etc..

• Experience in recording and evaluating measurement data.

• Good written and spoken English.

• Confident use of MS Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.).

• Goal-oriented and structured approach to work as well as strong analytical skills.

• Knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is desirable.

• Programming skills in e.g. Matlab, Python, etc..

• Degree in a technical field related to optics or comparable training.
