Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Design, refine, and implement physical and mathematical models as well as numerical algorithms for the adjustment and optimization of complex optical systems.
- Analyze system and production behavior, identify optimization potential, and validate solutions through simulations and experiments under realistic conditions.
- Translate mathematical and physical concepts into robust, maintainable, and testable software used in development and production, primarily in MATLAB and complementary software environments.
- Shape and drive the evolution of our software architecture, including modularization, interfaces, data flows, reusable components, and automated testing—while ensuring the continued operation of existing functionality.
- Establish and promote modern software development practices across projects through code and design reviews, regression testing, version control, knowledge sharing, pairing, and technical mentoring.
- Coordinate activities across optical design, metrology, production, system engineering, and customer interfaces; where appropriate, lead small expert teams and support the introduction of new processes and future technologies.
