Our client is a large MNC with their regional R & D Center in Singapore. R&D in Optical or lens Design, Optical Sensor & System, LightTools, Zemax, beam shaping optics, objective lenses, ToF systems, micro lens arrays, free form optics and diffractive optical elements.
Responsibilities:
Requirements:
Responsibilities:
- Primarily involves the design of VCSEL beam shaping optics and objective lenses for use in ToF systems operating in the near infra-red or visible wavelength range.
- Uses of non-sequential ray tracing simulation tools such as LightTools and Zemax to establish design performance, sensitivity to manufacturing variations, and provide yield estimations.
- Help coordinate the manufacturing implementation of lens designs for prototyping and mass production in 3rd party manufacturers, and will need to engage in effective and efficient communication with suppliers on a daily basis.
- Assist the Technical Sourcing team in the selection of optical-mechanical manufacturing partners, evaluating their technology and determining their process capability for manufacturing and its suitability for lens designs.
- Support mechanical engineers in tolerance, finite element and thermal analysis, and optimise the lens designs to accommodate and ease the assembly or module integration.
- Collaborate with engineers across multi-disciplinary teams from silicon architecture, sensor design, systems engineering and applications to ensure appropriate system-level approach to ToF module design.
- Assist marketing and customers in the definition of new products by driving feasibility studies, and providing estimation of future product performance.
- Perform verification of lens designs and drive manufacturing optimisation and yield improvement with 3rd party manufacturers.
Requirements:
- Post-Graduate Degree (PhD or MSc) in Optics or Physics with an emphasis in Optical System Design.
- LightTools and Zemax for illumination system lens design, tolerance analysis and yield estimation.
- Experienced in first order ray tracing calculations.
- Familiar with the design of optics to perform illumination diffusing and flattening operations, including micro lens arrays, free form optics and diffractive optical elements.
- Experience of optical design for low-cost high-volume manufacturing using injection moulded polymers or replication techniques.
- Coordination and technical management of 3rd party lens manufacturers at overseas locations.
