Optical Engineer

My client is looking for an Optical Systems Engineer, responsible for the design and simulation of advanced vision technologies. Working on complex refractive optical systems, this is an excellent opportunity within a growing engineering team, developing next-generation vision products.

This is an onsite position based in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Responsibilities:

• Design, model and optimise complex multi-element refractive optical systems
• Perform optical simulations and analyse aberrations, wavefront error, image quality and tolerance sensitivity
• Develop simulation and analysis tools using Python, MATLAB or similar scripting languages
• Investigate optical performance issues and identify the root causes of system limitations
• Validate optical designs and translate performance requirements into practical engineering solutions
• Provide technical guidance on optical system behaviour and simulation results to multidisciplinary teams
• Support customer projects with optical modelling, simulation data and technical insight across the product lifecycle

Requirements:

• Degree in Optical Engineering, Applied Physics, Photonics or a related discipline
• Hands-on optical design and simulation experience
• Hands-on design and optimising optical system experience
• Strong understanding of optical physics, wave optics and imaging system design
• Proficiency with Zemax or similar software for optical design
• Proficiency with Python, MATLAB or similar tools for modelling, automation and analysis
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex simulation data
