Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Pivot + Edge Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

We're looking for a highly skilled and experienced Optical Metrology Engineer to play a pivotal role in developing next-generation physical instrumentation. This role requires a strong technical background in photonics, physics, and engineering, with a focus on high-precision instrument design. The successful candidate will be a key contributor throughout the R&D process, from technology research to product development and manufacturing launch.

Responsibilities

Technology Research:

  • Develop optical techniques for physical sensing, including measurement of microscopic displacement, velocity, and rotation
  • Contribute your expertise to optical component selection, custom design and characterization, and instrument system design and testing
  • Simulate performance of new designs, conduct experiments to discover and understand discrepancies between simulated and actual performance, and optimize design parameters
  • Contribute to algorithm development for simulation, data analysis, and operation of software-defined sensor instruments
  • Document all work and share relevant results. Prepare reports for internal use, external publication, or patents as appropriate
  • Continuously learn and apply knowledge from other areas of science and engineering (electronics, mechanics, physics, signal processing, etc.) to help develop complete instruments as part of a multidisciplinary team

Product Design:

  • Develop robust, cost-effective, and manufacturable optical instrument products based on results of technology research
  • Work with external suppliers to select components or design custom optics as needed
  • Plan and conduct product verification testing, debugging, and optimization to ensure quality
  • Provide manufacturing documentation for optical subsystems, and work with manufacturing engineers to launch and support new optical instrument products

Key Competencies

You are:

  • both theoretical and practical, with initiative to make new ideas work
  • an excellent problem-solver who has overcome complex technical challenges
  • a clear communicator and diligent documentor of your work
  • highly collaborative, able to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams
  • adaptable and comfortable working in a dynamic R&D environment with evolving requirements

Requirements

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a strong emphasis on optics and photonics. Bachelor's degree with significant relevant experience may be considered
  • 5+ years of experience in optical metrology, photonic engineering, or a related field, preferably in an instrument design role
  • Strong theoretical and practical understanding of
  • Optics and wave propagation
  • Photonic components and related electronic circuitry
  • Error sources such as optical aberrations and device noise
  • Proficiency in data analysis and mathematical programming languages such as Matlab or Python.
  • Proven practical experience with
  • Optical lab equipment,
  • Photonics components and suppliers,
  • Metrology techniques such as interferometry
  • Experiment design, prototyping, debugging and product verification

Assets
