About the role
We're developing an ophthalmic diagnostic instrument and need an optical design engineer to model and validate a key optical subsystem in simulation before we move to hardware fabrication. What you'll actually do
• Build and validate a Zemax/OpticStudio model of a rotating multi-element optical assembly used for variable refractive power correction
• Verify modeled optical performance against theoretical predictions using real lens curvature, thickness, and material data
• Characterize aberrations introduced across the assembly's full operating range
• Verify explicit aperture / vignetting performance for the intended use case across that range
• Model interaction effects with an adjacent optical correction stage in the same light path
• Recommend final component specifications (dimensions, power, material, coating) based on simulation results
• Produce a validated optical design spec for handoff to mechanical/optomechanical engineering and prototype bench-testing Must-have
• Hands-on experience with Zemax OpticStudio (or equivalent — Code V) on shipped optical designs
• Solid grounding in geometric/physical optics:



lens power, aberration theory, ray tracing, aperture analysis
• Able to work from first-principles optical formulas and conceptual specs, not just pre-built templates Strongly preferred
• Prior experience with ophthalmic/refractive optics — phoropters, autorefractors, trial lens systems, or similar clinical vision instruments
• Familiarity with diopter-based power specification and ophthalmic lens tolerancing
• Experience designing for motorized/rotating optomechanical assemblies Nice-to-have
• Python/MATLAB scripting for parametric sweeps and merit-function optimization
• Medical device development experience, particularly under regulatory constraints Deliverables
• Zemax model of the assembly with the relevant parameter swept
• Aberration and vignetting analysis across the operating range
• Recommended final component specification
• Written report for fabrication handoff and future regulatory documentation To apply fill this form: https://forms.gle/5DBfJ4jio65nfS8T7
