Job Summary
This is a newly created role within our R&D team, contributing to the development of innovative spectacle lens technologies for myopia control. This role involves leading optical design efforts, performing simulations, and conducting tolerancing analyses to ensure high-performance, manufacturable optical solutions.
Essential Functions & Accountabilities
Design complex optical systems for myopia control lenses. Conduct optical simulation of new design concepts (MSF, PSF, wavefront error, scatter). Define product specification in both surfaces-based and functional parameter space. Conduct tolerance analysis to assess sensitivity in manufacturing and real-life use. Work closely with clinical experts, regulatory and process development to align optical design with therapeutic goals and manufacturability. Support prototype development and testing. Literature review for passive and active optical solutions for contrast management. Automate data analysis flow to support R&D activities Contribute to intellectual property generation and patent filings. Prepare detailed design documentation and simulation reports. Attend relevant conferences. Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
Proficient in Zemax or similar. Experienced with Python or similar. Experienced with numerical analysis, data processing. Strong understanding of geometric and physical optics, optical design and tolerancing. Prior experience in design of myopia management products Prior experience in design of ophthalmic lenses. Understanding of ISO standards in ophthalmic lenses. Qualifications/Experience:
Master of PhD degree in physics, optical engineering, engineering or similar. 3 year+ experience in optical design and modelling. Experience in working in a team. Work Environment
Ability to work in the office 5 days per week Willingness and ability to travel occasionally is essential Due to the global scope of some projects involving several time zones, the ability to accommodate meetings outside of typical daily work hours from time to time is required This is a high growth, fast paced, small organisation.
