Job Description

As an Optical Systems Test Engineer, you will partner with internal design teams from early conceptualization and development of high fidelity prototypes to deliver high volume consumer products. As an integral member of the core development team that bridges the space between one-off Product Engineering prototypes and manufacturing partners, your responsibilities will help shape the future success of our products. Your role will collaborate cross-functionally within the engineering community such as ME, EE, OE, FW, SW , MFG, RE and Test disciplines. You will be part of the System Integration Team supporting all phases of the AR Product Development from prototypes to engineering builds. You will own the system level optical performance validation through the creation of test vehicles, optical test platforms, and generation of technical tools for the AR products. The ideal candidate has demonstrated ability to collaborate with internal design teams and external production partners. The candidate will also have a strong ability to communicate to all levels of an organization from management and higher-level strategy planning to the technicians and leads on a manufacturing floor.
