The Carlsbad optical engineering team turns fiber-optic, precision-microscopy, and waveguide concepts into validated optical components and assemblies.
In compliance with pay transparency requirements, the salary range for this role in California is $97,000 - $180,000.
- Generate and evaluate optical design concepts for fiber optics, precision microscopy, and waveguides, and use models, prototypes, or experiments to complete assigned technology development and validate the results.
- Analyze optical designs, coupling efficiency, loss budgets, and alignment tolerances to compare design options and guide component and assembly development.
- Build, align, and characterize fiber-optic and precision optical assemblies, selecting appropriate laboratory instruments and measurement methods for the assigned task.
- Use microscopy and optical metrology to assess waveguide performance, optical components, and assembly quality, and investigate discrepancies between expected and measured behavior.
- Process optical measurement data with Python, MATLAB, or comparable tools, compare results with model predictions, and quantify and document measurement uncertainty.
