• 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
