• Optimize illumination and imaging systems by adjusting light guides, outcoupling structures, reflectors, lenses, and diffusers.
• Validate optical designs against regulatory standards and customer specifications.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to integrate optical designs into larger systems.
• Analyze and interpret simulation results, providing recommendations for design improvements.
• Assist in prototyping and experimental validation of optical systems.
• Generate technical reports and documentation summarizing simulation methodologies and findings.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with Ansys SPEOS for optical simulation.
• Experience with Siemens FloEFD for electronical thermal simulation.
• Knowledge of optical design principles, including light propagation, reflections, refractions, and scattering.
• Familiarity with thermal management techniques in optical and electronical systems.
• Proficiency in additional tools like Ansys Mechanical, Fluent, Zemax, TracePro, or COMSOL is a plus.
• Strong understanding of material properties affecting optical and thermal performance.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Experience with interior lighting components in vehicles.

Preferred Experience:

• Automotive lighting, AR/VR, LiDAR.
• Experience in validating optical and thermal models with experimental data.
• Knowledge of optical measurement techniques and instrumentation.
