The hiring company is looking for an Optical Engineer to join a team in Cambridge, England, working on advanced augmented-reality waveguide technology. This position is intended for an engineer with solid commercial experience who can take responsibility for waveguide design and help move a new product through development. The work is centered on geometric and reflective waveguide systems, with a strong emphasis on practical engineering delivery rather than purely theoretical research.
What you will do
- Develop geometric and reflective optical waveguides for AR use cases.
- Carry out hands-on optical modelling, simulation, optimisation, and validation activities.
- Turn system-level needs into optical designs that can be manufactured successfully.
- Work alongside a multidisciplinary group of optical engineers to support product development.
- Evaluate prototypes, study performance results, and improve designs through repeated iteration.
What the employer is looking for
- Significant industry experience in a commercial optical engineering environment is required.
- Applicants need proven, practical waveguide design experience.
- Experience across at least one to two full design cycles is expected, covering concept development through validation and support for production.
- Strong capability with optical design tools and the ability to apply them in real engineering work is important.
- The role suits someone with a demonstrated commercial track record who can independently own waveguide design work and contribute to an active product programme.
Package and other details
- Salary is competitive and includes stock options.
- A pension scheme is included.
