Job summary

Enko Group Finland seeks a Camera Optical Design Engineer to develop high-performance optics for compact smartphone camera modules. You will lead design from concept to prototype, collaborating with optomechanical, electrical and algorithm teams to meet tight performance targets.

The role requires hands-on lens design for consumer imaging, proficiency with Zemax and CodeV, and experience in miniaturization and fabrication constraints. On-site Tampere, full-time consultant role with Enko Group.

Qualifications

MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or other relevant field.
Hands-on experience with lens design for Consumer Electronics imaging products, preferably smartphones.
Proficiency with lens design and ray tracing tools (e.g., Ansys Zemax OpticStudio, CodeV).
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for high-volume production preferable.
Experienced with Lens Design Optimization for AF/OIS actuators.
Working knowledge of lens-sensor integration constraints (CRA matching to sensor micro-lens array, BFL/FFL, packaging envelope).
Experienced with miniaturization techniques applied to imaging optics (e.g., folded optics, periscope architectures).
Proficiency in simulation and optimization techniques (e.g., desensitization, tolerancing, stray light analysis).
Proven adaptability in dynamic business conditions - self-driven, self-directed, and proactive in taking initiative and ownership with minimal supervision.
Strong documentation discipline - ability to produce unambiguous technical reports, specification documents, and design review materials with minimal supervision.
Effective communication skills at both engineering and executive levels.
Ability to cooperate and work effectively in distributed team settings across time zones and organizational boundaries.

Responsibilities

Design optical systems for miniaturized camera modules targeting flagship smartphone performance requirements.
Execute optical performance analysis including MTF optimization, tolerance analysis, and desensitization.
Translate optical designs into manufacturable solutions in close collaboration with globally distributed, multidisciplinary partner teams.
Analyze metrology reports and drive corrective design actions based on measurement results.
Research emerging optical technologies and assess their applicability to next-generation camera module designs.
