Optical Engineer III

Summary:
•    In this role, you will collaborate with a team of scientists and engineers to predict and improve system-level performance of novel products and prototypes. 
•    Using internally developed simulation tools—including an existing display emulation codebase in MATLAB.
•    you will analyze results to directly enhance product and prototype performance while improving the codebase's maintainability, efficiency, and capabilities.

Responsibilities:
•    Code refactoring in IQToolbox.
•    Use simulation tools to model end-to-end performance of display systems
•    Report analysis of these simulations to establish specifications for these display systems and ensure a successful product
•    Collaborate with the larger research team to explore concepts and drive system performance to create compelling experiences

Years of Experience: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Degrees/Certifications Required: BS in Engineering, Physics, Optics, Computer Science, Color Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent

Top 3 must-have HARD skills:
•    Deep proficiency in MATLAB
•    Signal and image processing knowledge,
•    Experience with source control
•    Strong software development skills
•    Experience with Python
Good to have skills:
•    Signal/Image processing
•    Mathematical modeling and simulation
•    Color science
•    Knowledge of display technologies (µLED, OLED, LCD, LCOS, DMD) or display pipeline architecture
•    Familiarity with display metrology/calibration, image quality metrics, or human perception
•    Prior work experience preferred but not required

Candidate Disqualifiers:
Difficulties: There is a steep learning curve in becoming familiar with the code base and what it does.
