Job description:
We are looking for an Optical Modeling Engineer to develop and validate optical models for an end-to-end camera simulation pipeline that consists of image sensor, optics, and imaging algorithms. Your work will drive the study and validation of new camera technologies and architectures for products across different categories from Smart Glasses, AR to MR. If you are excited about learning first principles and applying your skills in bridging the gap between theoretical models and real-world performance and pushing the envelope of simulation technologies.
Qualifications:
Imaging optics design and optimization experience
This position requires hands-on development on programmatically modeling complex lens behaviors.
Scripting experience with programming languages like Python or Matlab is a must.
Expertise on using software like Code V or Zemax for lens design or ray tracing. Preferably with Knowledge on how ray tracing is implemented in these softwares.
Knowledge of image formation process (spectrum, optics/aberrations, PSF, sensor noise, Fourier theory, sampling/aliasing) needed to successfully model and simulate complex imaging phenomena.
Ability to work with minimal direction and manage a project independently from start to finish.
Good to have:
Experience developing and implementing optics design and ray tracing software like Code V and Zemax.
Experience in modeling of imaging systems, calibration and metrology
Experience in image quality testing of camera systems and familiar with image quality metrics and analysis (MTF/SNR).
Familiar with image sensor and image processing algorithms
