New Job?Nejo!
Your personal AI career agent
Designing and simulating free-space micro-optics for optical communications. Expert-level optical modeling and simulation skills required. Company-wide bonuses, long-term incentives, and retirement plan.
Requirements
- Master's Degree or PhD in Optical Engineering, Optical Physics, Electrical Engineering or related discipline
- 10+ years of industrial experience in optical engineering, optical connectivity solutions, photonics, or related fields
- Expert-level proficiency in optical modeling and simulation, tolerance analysis, and performance budgeting
- Profound system-level optical understanding, ability to model and optimize optical links and subsystems
- Strong experimental background, hands-on laboratory work, correlation of simulation to measured performance
- Proven industrial experience in optical connectivity solutions (fiber-to-chip interfaces, micro-optics, photonic integration, high-density interconnects)
- Demonstrated ability to act as Technical Lead, guiding design, mentoring engineers, interfacing with stakeholders
- Proficiency with optical and system simulation tools (Zemax, Ansys Interconnect, Lumerical, or equivalent) and CAD environments
- Deep understanding of manufacturing processes, tolerancing, and design for manufacturing (DFM) in optical components
- Experience with high-bandwidth or advanced modulation optical systems
- Familiarity with statistical tolerance analysis, yield modeling, and reliability assessment
- Programming or scripting experience (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW) for data analysis and modeling automation
- Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent structured problem-solving background
- Experience working in global, cross-functional development teams
- Strong technical leadership mindset, ability to influence without authority
- Highly self-motivated, structured, and detail-oriented
- Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining complex optical concepts to diverse audiences
- Ability to balance deep technical rigor with pragmatic, product-focused decision-making
- Fluent English (spoken and written)
- German language skills are a plus
- Willingness to travel occasionally
Tasks
- Lead micro-optics development activities
