* Design of calibration and manufacturing schemes
* Analysis of feature-performance tradeoffs and implications to the overall system design

* Develop and manage key suppliers for optical components
Your skills:
* You have designed and owned optical systems from R+D through production
* Project leadership of technical teams for design of optical systems
* Experience validating optical system performance and transitioning an optical system to production
* Shipped commercial products (high-volume is a bonus)
* 5+ years of experience in the full product development life-cycle (concept to production)
Bonus skills:
* Software skills (especially Python or C++)
* Mechanical or electrical design experience
We offer:
