Job description

\n <\/head>\n \n

Optical Design Engineer<\/span><\/span><\/b>
<\/p>

We are seeking an Optical Design Engineer to join a well\-respected team of engineers in building innovative technology for emergency vehicles - helping first responders save lives. We're looking for a hands\-on, scrappy, creative Optical Engineer to become our in\-house expert on all things optics. If you know how to shape, mix, bend, and throw light like a wizard, we want to talk.
This is a ground\-floor opportunity: you'll be our first in\-house optical expert. You'll own the optical performance of every lighting product we make - from warning lights to scene lights to the next generation of integrated multi\-color systems - and will play a key role in helping us outshine the competition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

 <\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

What you'll do:<\/span><\/span><\/b>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Review and analyze existing products to identify optical improvement opportunities.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Design next\-generation LED optics for warning lights, scene lights, and headlights.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Drive innovation in multi\-color, under\-one\-optic designs (think stage lighting meets public safety).<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Select lens materials (primarily acrylic or polycarbonate; silicone a plus) and specify optical geometry (reflectors, collimators, beam\-shaping elements, etc.).<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Collaborate with our mechanical and embedded product engineers to deliver fully integrated lighting systems.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Work with suppliers and manufacturers to source, tool, and validate optical components.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Use photometric equipment (like goniophotometers and integrating spheres) to validate optical performance.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Guide software\/tool selection for optical simulation and modeling - we're open to what works best.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

 <\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

 <\/span><\/span>What we're looking for:<\/span><\/span><\/b>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Proven experience designing optics for LED lighting systems.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Deep understanding of how to shape and control light - beam angles, optical efficiency, color mixing, etc.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Strong background in optical design tools (Zemax, LightTools, TracePro, or similar) and CAD software (SolidWorks experience is a plus).<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Experience working with plastic optics (injection molded preferred), and knowledge of manufacturing constraints.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Comfortable owning a function solo - you're a team of one for now, so you'll need to set the vision and execute.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Comfortable testing, prototyping, failing fast, and iterating - we love trying new things.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Degree? Cool if you have one. But if your portfolio, prototypes, or patent history speak louder - we'll listen.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>


<\/p>\n

\n Who you are:<\/span><\/span><\/b>
\n <\/div>

 <\/span><\/span><\/b>       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>You've maybe worked at a small lighting company or engineering startup - and you liked the pace.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>You're confident, hands\-on, and love solving problems that don't have an obvious answer,<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>You're a builder. An inventor. Someone who sees light differently.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>You've always wanted the freedom to say, "Let's try this crazy idea..." and then actually try it.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>You're not afraid of regulations - even if you haven't worked with SAE, FMVSS, or DOT lighting standards before, you're the kind of person who can dive into the details and figure it out fast.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>

       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>You thrive in a tight\-knit, high\-performance team and aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves.<\/span><\/span>
<\/p>
