Senior Optical Engineer

Title: Computer Vision & Optical Engineering V Duration: 12 Months Contract Location: Sunnyvale, CA Remote10+ years of experience required.Bachelors required, Master or PhD preferred.Optical Modeling EngineerResponsibilitiesDevelop and validate optical models as part of an imaging simulation pipeline to enable Client camera HW explorations, data generation, and product architecture validation.Partner with the internal optics and camera team to understand modeling requirements and to improve fidelity and efficiency.Liaison with software partners like Synopsis and Ansys to understand their implementations, limitations and find out solutions.Collaborate with developers of other pipeline components such as graphics renderer and sensor model to understand different implementation tradeoffs and optimize for overall performance.Experiment and data collection to validate modeling accuracyInvestigate latest imaging modeling technologies to enable realistic simulation of real camera behaviorsResearch and develop Client calibration and metrology technologies.QualificationsImaging optics design and optimization experienceThis 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 haveExperience developing and implementing optics design and ray tracing software like Code V and Zemax.Experience in modeling of imaging systems, calibration and metrologyExperience 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
