Optical Engineer

               Optical Engineer – Stray Light Analysis (SPEOS & Zemax)

Location: Remote (within India)

Employment Type: Full time

Years of Experience: more than 2+ years

Role:

We are seeking a novice/Optical Engineer (2+ years) with keen interest in stray light analysis using Ansys SPEOS and Ansys Zemax Optic Studio. He/She will be responsible for analyzing optical design, export to SPEOS, and performing stray light in complex optical and illumination systems in SPEOS, ensuring system performance meets stringent imaging and illumination requirements, Generate more optical system design as per client requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

* Build, validate, and optimize optical models for lens systems, surfaces,

  optimization tolerancing in Zemax. 

* Perform stray light analysis for imaging, illumination, and optical sensor systems

  using SPEOS.

* Identify ghost images, scattering, reflections, and diffraction effects in optical

  designs.

* Develop and validate using SPEOS GPU, use SPEOS material library models for

  materials and coatings.

* Use these results to propose mitigation strategies (baffles, coatings, surface

  finishes, apertures, filters).

* Conduct trade-off studies with and without baffles and between CPU and GPU.

* Generate clear technical reports, documentation, and presentations for internal

  and client reviews.

* Stay updated with the latest methodologies and tool capabilities in stray light  

  modeling.                                         

 * Collaborate with senior optical engineers to apply advanced stray

   light mitigation strategies and integrate findings into product design.

 Required Qualifications:

* Bachelor's/Master's degree in Optics or Physics or Photonics or a related field.

* Hands-on experience with stray light analysis using Ansys SPEOS and Zemax

  Optic Studio (sequential & non-sequential ray tracing).

* Strong knowledge of non-sequential ray tracing, ghost analysis, scatter

  modeling.

* Experience in optical material properties, coatings, and surfaces .

* Proficiency in CAD integration for opto- mechanical system modeling.

* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to interpret simulation

  results.

* Excellent communication and reporting skills.

 Preferred Qualifications:

* Knowledge in automotive lighting, optics, ODX export, mechanical designs

* Familiarity with Python for post-processing, automation or analysis.

* Hands-on experience with laboratory stray light measurements correlation with

  simulation results.

What We Offer:

* Opportunity to work on cutting-edge optical systems across industries

  (automotive, aerospace, defense etc.,).

* Collaborative and multidisciplinary environment.

* Travel to customer engagement, technical presentation

* Professional development in advanced optical simulation and design tools.
