OPTICAL/PHOTONICAL ENGINEER | ADVANCED OPTICAL DESIGN | ZEMAX/SPEOS/LUMERICAL FLUENT | START-UP

Ingenn is the Head Hunting company solely focused on the search and selection of technical profiles and engineers.

The partner:

We are looking for a Optical/Photonical Engineer with a specific fluency in Zemax and Lumerical/Speos who will be placed with one of our clients. Our client is a deeptech startup that develops premium lighting products, with a particular focus on high-tech solutions used in medical contexts and in post-hospital recovery treatment.

The role:

• Lead and supervise with a "hands-on" approach the development of the project's optical architecture, personally designing complex systems using advanced ray tracing techniques, wave optics, caustics and scattering
• Conduct technology scouting activities to identify existing solutions in other sectors, evaluate their applicability to our client's devices and minimize technological gaps
• Analyze the patent landscape, identify opportunities for new intellectual properties and interact with licensors when necessary
• Interface with industrial partners and suppliers in order to transform "on paper" projects into actually producible systems and components
• Supervise junior optical engineers - if appropriate, ensuring methodological consistency and alignment between numerical simulations and experimental results

Mandatory skills:

• Master's degree and/or PhD in optical engineering, photonics or equivalent qualification minimum
• At least two years of previous experience gained in the development of innovative products/projects in the optical field, with particular focus on the development and optimization of complex optical designs (primarily non-sequential optical mode) is a strongly preferred but not mandatory requirement
• Excellent knowledge of optical simulation tools, necessarily including at least Zemax (and preferably Lumerical/Speos)
• Excellent level of English language (B2 minimum)
• Knowledge of Italian language level C1 or C2 is strongly preferred
