What is holography?

A holography job involves the creation, development, and application of holograms for various industries, including security, entertainment, medical imaging, and data storage. Professionals in this field use laser technology, optics, and digital processing to produce 3D images or secure holographic prints. Roles may include research scientists, optical engineers, or technicians specializing in holographic display systems. The job often requires expertise in physics, engineering, or computer science, depending on the specific application.

What are the typical responsibilities of a holography professional in a research or industrial setting?

As a holography professional, you will typically be involved in designing and conducting experiments to create, record, and analyze holograms using specialized optical equipment. Your responsibilities may include developing new holographic techniques, troubleshooting equipment, collecting and interpreting data, and documenting your findings. Collaboration with engineers, scientists, and technical staff is common, as projects often span multiple disciplines. In industrial settings, you may also work on prototyping, quality control, and the real-world application of holographic technologies in products or processes. This role offers opportunities to contribute to innovative solutions in sectors like imaging, data storage, security, and medical imaging.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the holography position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Holography role, you need a strong background in optics, physics, and engineering, typically supported by a relevant degree and experience in laboratory settings. Familiarity with lasers, optical instruments, image processing software, and safety standards is crucial, and certifications in photonics or related fields may be advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams are highly valued. These competencies ensure the accurate creation, analysis, and application of holographic technologies across industries such as science, medicine, art, and manufacturing.

Job description

Role Overview

Luminit is seeking an early-career Optical Engineer to support hands-on holographic recording and optical-bench work across our aerospace, automotive, and display programs. 

Working under senior optical engineers, this person runs day-to-day recording, optical-table alignment, sample preparation, and characterization within Luminit’s established recording process. We are looking for a strong optics foundation and genuine bench instinct; someone intelligent and observant who can apply judgment as each new product presents its own recording challenge. 

Holographic recording experience is not required; it is trained. Optical-bench literacy and a track record of careful, resourceful lab work are essential. 

Key Responsibilities

Optical Bench & Recording

  • Set up, align, and operate optical benches and recording systems under engineer direction 

  • Perform holographic recording, sample preparation, and handling  

  • Characterize optical and holographic samples (efficiency, uniformity, basic optical metrology) and record results carefully 

Lab Execution & Improvement

  • Follow and help refine recording and test procedures; flag anomalies and propose improvements 

  • Maintain disciplined, traceable lab records and contribute to process documentation 

  • Troubleshoot setups and contribute to incremental process improvement

Prototype Development & Validation

  • Support prototype design, assembly, testing, and validation activities for holographic optical systems.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to refine optical designs based on testing, characterization, and customer feedback.
  • Assist in transitioning prototype systems into pilot-line and production-ready manufacturing processes.
  • Document experimental results, process learnings, and performance improvements to support future product development.

Cross-Functional Engineering Collaboration

  • Work closely with senior optical engineers and the process and metrology team 

  • Support build and characterization activities tied to program milestones

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Optics, Optical Engineering, or a closely related field 

  • Hands-on optical-bench or laser-lab experience (coursework, research, or an optics/laser technical program), including operating and aligning optical tables 

  • Demonstrated lab judgment; evidence of troubleshooting, calibration, or process-improvement initiative in a lab setting 

  • Careful, methodical approach to measurement and record-keeping 

  • 0–2 years of experience; recent graduates with strong optics-lab experience are encouraged to apply 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with lasers, interferometry, optical alignment, or optical metrology 

  • Exposure to holography, diffractive optics, or photopolymer materials 

  • Cleanroom, thin-film, coating, or fabrication-process experience 

  • MATLAB or Python for data handling 

Work Environment & Logistics

  • On-site role based in Torrance, CA 

  • Customer and technical-partner interaction as required by active programs 

Export Control Eligibility

This position may involve access to information or technology subject to U.S. export control regulations (ITAR or EAR). Applicants must qualify as a U.S. person under applicable U.S. export control regulations.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package
  • Comprehensive benefits
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge automotive and display technologies

Company Description

Luminit develops advanced optical technologies used across automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. Employees work on cutting-edge holographic and photonic systems in a collaborative, technically driven environment with opportunities to contribute directly to next-generation mobility and display technologies.
