Key Responsibilities:

  • Optical Measurement & Characterization

  • Design and implement comprehensive optical test methodologies for cameras, displays, projectors, and optical sensors across the product development lifecycle

  • Develop automated measurement systems for image quality assessment (MTF, distortion, color accuracy, dynamic range, noise characterization)

  • Establish display metrology protocols (luminance uniformity, color gamut, viewing angle, contrast ratio, flicker)

  • Create optical alignment and calibration procedures for multi-camera systems and depth sensors

  • Quality & Standards Leadership

  • Define optical performance specifications, host demo and validate acceptance criteria in collaboration with Product, Design, and Engineering teams

  • Drive root cause analysis for optical defects and performance issues using advanced measurement techniques

  • Establish correlation between subjective image quality assessments and objective measurements

  • Develop failure analysis methodologies for optical components and modules

  • Infrastructure & Tooling

  • Build and maintain state-of-the-art optical measurement labs with equipment including spectroradiometers, goniophotometers, integrating spheres, and imaging test targets

  • Develop custom measurement software and automation scripts (Python, MATLAB) for high-throughput testing

  • Implement statistical process control (SPC) for optical manufacturing quality monitoring

  • Create measurement uncertainty budgets and validate measurement system capability (GR&R studies)

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Display/optical/advance manufacturing Engineering teams to optimize optical designs for manufacturability and performance

  • Work with Contract Manufacturers to implement optical testing at production scale

  • Support Product teams with competitive benchmarking and optical performance trade-off analysis

  • Innovation & Continuous Improvement

  • Research emerging optical measurement technologies and integrate into development workflows

  • Publish internal technical standards and best practices documentation

  • Mentor junior engineers on optical measurement principles and techniques

  • Drive cost reduction initiatives through measurement optimization and automation
