Job description

Optical Engineer - Stray Light Analysis (Zemax & Speos)

Location: Remote (within India)

Employment Type: Full Time

Years of Experience: 2+ years

Role:

We are seeking an Optical Engineer-SPEOS with a keen interest in stray light analysis using Ansys SPEOS and basic optical system design in Zemax Optics Studio. The engineer will be responsible for analyzing optical design, exporting to SPEOS, and performing stray light analysis in complex optical and illumination systems, ensuring system performance meets stringent imaging and illumination requirements, and generating more optical system designs as per client requirements.

• Build, validate, and optimize optical models for lens systems, surfaces, optimization and tolerancing in Zemax.
• Perform stray light analysis for imaging, illumination, and optical sensor systems using SPEOS.
• Identify ghost images, scattering, reflections, and diffraction effects in optical designs.
• Develop and validate using SPEOS GPU, using SPEOS material library models for materials and coatings.
• Use results to propose mitigation strategies (baffles, coatings, surface finishes, apertures, filters).
• Conduct trade‑off studies with and without baffles between CPU and GPIJ.
• Generate clear technical reports, documentation, and presentations for internal and client reviews.
• Stay updated with the latest methodologies and tool capabilities in stray light modeling/simulations.
• Collaborate with senior optical engineers to apply advanced stray light mitigation strategies and integrate findings into product design.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Optics, Physics, Photonics, or related field.
• Hands‑on experience with stray light analysis using Ansys SPEOS and Zemax Optic Studio (sequential & non‑sequential ray tracing).
• Strong knowledge of non‑sequential ray tracing, ghost analysis, scatter modeling.
• Experience in optical material properties, coatings, and surfaces.
• Proficiency in CAD integration for opto‑mechanical system modeling.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to interpret simulation results.
• Excellent communication and reporting skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with Python for post‑processing, automation, or analysis.
• Hands‑on experience with laboratory stray light measurements correlated with simulation results.

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge optical systems across industries (automotive, aerospace, defense, etc.).
• Collaborative and multidisciplinary environment.
• Travel to customer engagement and technical presentations.
• Professional development in advanced optical simulation and design tools.
