You will work at the interface of optics, mechanics, automation, software, and manufacturing to bring new metrology concepts from development into robust, scalable, and high-throughput systems. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, working with multidisciplinary teams, and turning innovative ideas into reliable industrial solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate complex measurement and test systems combining optical, mechanical, electrical, and software components.

• Support the development, assembly, commissioning, and validation of advanced metrology systems for R&D and manufacturing applications.

• Collaborate with R&D, process engineering, automation, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure successful system integration and deployment.

• Troubleshoot system-level issues related to hardware, alignment, motion control, sensors, optics, and data acquisition.

• Develop and execute system integration plans, test protocols, and validation procedures.

• Optimize system performance in terms of accuracy, repeatability, throughput, and reliability.

• Support the transfer of newly developed measurement systems into production environments.

• Work with external suppliers and contractors to specify, integrate, and qualify components and subsystems.

• Document system architecture, integration steps, test results, and technical recommendations.

• Contribute to continuous improvement activities related to system robustness, maintainability, and industrialization.

• Stay informed about emerging technologies in metrology, automation, micro-optics, and precision engineering.

• Experiences & Education

• Master’s degree or Bachelor’s degree in Optics, Photonics, Physics, Mechatronics, Automation, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
