Job Description

Help build the optical systems behind the testing and characterization of high-performance semiconductor inspection cameras. As an Optical System Design Specialist, you'll turn optical concepts into practical, production-ready solutions that combine illumination, imaging, mechanics, electronics, and software.

If you enjoy moving between optical modeling and hands-on lab work, this role offers the opportunity to own solutions from early experiments through manufacturing deployment.

What You’ll Do

• Design LED and laser illumination systems for automated camera test stations.
• Model optical performance and conduct ray-trace, tolerance, and performance analyses.
• Build prototypes and evaluate uniformity, throughput, contrast, and image quality.
• Select commercial optics and specify custom components when needed.
• Develop alignment, calibration, test, and validation procedures.
• Troubleshoot optical and optomechanical performance issues.
• Partner with camera, sensor, mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing engineers.
• Support designs from prototype through production deployment.

What You Need

• Required: Strong knowledge of imaging, illumination, ray/wave optics, radiometry, photometry, tolerancing, and alignment.
• Required: 5+ years designing optical systems for imaging, photonics, instrumentation, or industrial applications.
• Required: Hands-on optical laboratory, measurement, alignment, and troubleshooting skills.
• Required: Experience with optical design and analysis tools such as Zemax OpticStudio, Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW.
• Required: Bachelor's degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Photonics, Applied Physics, or related engineering field.
• Advantage: Semiconductor inspection, machine vision, scientific imaging, or camera characterization experience.
• Advantage: Familiarity with image sensors, optomechanical/CAD design, or EMVA standards.
• Advantage: Master's or higher degree in a relevant discipline.

What We Offer

• Meaningful work on advanced imaging technology.
• Deep, hands-on engineering challenges.
• Collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Opportunities to grow technical depth from optical design through production.
• The stability and engineering breadth of Teledyne Technologies.
