Optics Engineer

Position Title: Senior Optics Engineer

Qualification: B.Tech / M.Tech / PhD in Optics, Photonics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or related field with excellent academic record

Experience: 4–6 Years

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Optics Engineer with hands-on experience in IR, UV & Visible spectrum optical system design, simulation, and prototyping. The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in Zemax/OpticStudio, optical component selection, system performance optimization, and light-matter interaction.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Optical Design & Simulation:

   Design and optimize optical systems operating in Infrared (IR), Ultraviolet (UV), and Visible wavelengths. Perform ray tracing, tolerance analysis, illumination design, and stray-light analysis using Zemax/OpticStudio.

• Prototyping & Validation:

   Build and test optical prototypes, perform optical alignment of assemblies, and verify system performance. Conduct experiments for detector characterization, source modulation, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurement.

• Spectral Analysis & Component Selection:

   Select appropriate IR/UV sources, detectors, filters, lenses, and optical coatings. Analyze material absorption, scattering behavior, and thermal effects on optical performance.

• Documentation & Compliance:

   Prepare detailed optical design documents, test plans, and alignment procedures. Ensure compliance with relevant optical safety and regulatory standards.

• Internal Collaboration:

   Work closely with electronics, mechanical, and firmware teams to integrate optical subsystems into complete instruments.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 4–6 years of hands-on experience in optical design, sensing, photometry, or instrumentation.
• Strong expertise in Zemax/OpticStudio for optical modeling and optimization.
• In-depth understanding of IR, UV, and Visible optics, sources, and detectors.
• Experience with optical alignment techniques and laboratory measurement equipment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with NDIR analyzers, UV analyzers, spectroscopy systems, or optical sensors.
• Knowledge of CAD tools and scripting or data analysis using MATLAB or Python.
