About our Client:
Engaged Search, attractive compensation, equity
Our client is an established revenue positive early-stage startup working to disruptively add value in the health information, biomedical optics field. Our client is looking to develop innovative biomedical hardware to provide healthcare information for individuals through innovative optical sensing. Our client strives to provide individuals with better, higher resolution information about their bodies and as a result of their health-care choices. Our client’s team driven environment requires innovative, creative thinkers, problem solvers, and doers, not afraid to deal with ambiguity, and problems requiring breakthrough solutions. Our client values great communicators, highly curious, and independent thinkers, who take initiative and are goal oriented. You should have a personal interest, passion, commitment to your own healthcare, and combining your avocation with your vocation would be self and career actualizing. This R&D role is an on-site role. Our client has developed benchtop demonstration / proof of concept of their sensing technology and now is moving this benchtop to a more refined design which will result in a producible form factor in subsequent development stages.
About the Optical Engineer our client is seeking:
· You are a strong Optical Engineer, both theoretically and practically and are equally adept working in the lab/cleanroom as you are analyzing results, data.
· You will be responsible for designing, building, testing and validating prototypes of their sensor hardware, especially integrated optical / small form factor optical , photonic, waveguide components and assemblies. You will be working on our client’s 2nd generation, integrated optics version of their sensing technology.
· You will have hands-on experience assembling, building, testing optical / optoelectronic circuits and chip coupling in a cleanroom environment.
· You will provide support and offer leadership in the specification and design of components including: characterization/design validation, subcomponent integration into higher assemblies, and or systems, and eventually the manufacturing / fabrication of the components into assemblies, subsystems, and systems.
· You will design, execute, test, and analyze experiments in the development and optimization of micro-scale optical and integrated optical components in the IR spectrum.
· As the lead Optical Engineer on this next generation R&D project, you will be deeply involved in new product development, validation, testing and advancing existing product technology.
· Experience in semiconductor processing, lithographic processing of integrated optical substrates and circuitry.
Key Technical Qualifications for Success:
· Proven experience in assembling, characterizing, and validating integrated optical, waveguide and or micro-scale optical components, with a strong preference for expertise in the Infrared spectrum is desirable.
Key Personal Attributes / Style:
· You are passionate about personal health, and healthcare applications of technology
· You are a “Builder”, who likes to move fast and solve problems.
· You are comfortable working in a small team, wearing many hats, “figuring it out” to advance your own or team technical goals, designs, ideas.
