What is an ocular engineer?

An Ocular Engineer is a professional who designs, develops, and tests devices and technologies related to the eye and vision care. They often work on products such as contact lenses, intraocular lenses, surgical tools, and diagnostic equipment used in ophthalmology. Ocular Engineers combine knowledge from fields like biomedical engineering, optics, and materials science to improve vision correction and eye health. Their work helps advance treatments for eye diseases and enhances the quality of vision care.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an ocular engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Ocular Engineer, you need a strong background in biomedical engineering or a related field, with expertise in optics, vision science, and device design. Familiarity with CAD software, optical simulation tools, and regulatory standards for medical devices is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication are standout soft skills in this role. These skills are crucial for developing innovative ocular technologies that improve vision care and meet rigorous safety and quality standards.

What are some common challenges faced by ocular engineers when developing new ophthalmic devices?

Ocular Engineers often encounter challenges related to the precision and safety requirements of ophthalmic devices, such as ensuring biocompatibility and minimizing invasive procedures. Collaborating with ophthalmologists and regulatory specialists is essential to meet strict industry standards and patient needs. Additionally, staying updated with advances in optical materials and imaging technology is crucial for innovation. Navigating these challenges requires strong interdisciplinary teamwork and continuous professional development.

Job description

Sr. Applied Research Engineer – Biomechanics – Burlington

What You’ll Do:

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced scientist or engineer to join our Applied Research team and contribute to the advancement of next-generation technologies within our Corneal Health (CH) product portfolio. This role will play a central part in driving early-stage innovation, technology development, and translational research efforts aimed at expanding the capabilities and clinical impact of our ophthalmic medical device platforms.

The successful candidate will work at the intersection of computational modeling, experimental science, engineering, and clinical translation to develop new technologies and methodologies. A key focus of this role will be developing and validating computational and analytical models of corneal and tissue biomechanics, complemented by hands‑on imaging and elastography work that enables improved understanding and quantification of corneal structure and biomechanics.

The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in tissue and corneal biomechanics and computational modeling, complemented by hands‑on experience with biomechanical imaging, elastography, signal processing, and algorithm design, with a strong interest in translating research concepts into robust, validated technologies.

How You’ll Contribute:
  • Contribute to the design and development of current and next-generation ophthalmic medical devices, from early research through translational development.
  • Develop, apply, and validate analytical and computational models of corneal and ocular tissue biomechanics, including finite element approaches, to characterize tissue behavior and therapeutic effects.
  • Use experimental and imaging-derived data to estimate material properties, perform inverse and parameter‑estimation analyses, and validate model predictions.
  • Support and perform biomechanical imaging and elastography measurements, including refinement of experimental setups used to quantify corneal biomechanical properties.
  • Develop, optimize, and maintain robust modeling, processing, and post‑processing algorithms and software pipelines for biomedical imaging and biomechanical data.
  • Collaborate with hardware, software, and systems engineering teams to integrate models, algorithms, and experimental methods into prototype and product‑level medical devices.
  • Oversee data collection, preprocessing, model and algorithm development, validation, and performance characterization through rigorous experimental testing.
  • Evaluate emerging modeling methods and measurement technologies to advance biomechanical characterization for ophthalmic applications.
  • Communicate technical results through design reviews, internal reports, and technical documentation; contribute to publications, patents, or regulatory submissions as appropriate.
How You’ll Get There:
  • PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, or a related field, or an MS/Bachelor’s degree with equivalent industry experience.
  • 5–8+ years of relevant experience (3–5+ years with an MS degree or 0–4+ years with a PhD) in soft‑tissue biomechanics, computational modeling, experimental imaging, or quantitative analysis.
  • Demonstrated experience developing and validating biomechanical models of soft tissues, including constitutive modeling, finite element analysis, and parameter estimation from experimental data.
  • Working knowledge of biomechanical imaging and elastography, including measurement setups, data acquisition, and measurement system validation.
  • Hands‑on experience with finite element modeling tools; COMSOL Multiphysics experience is preferred.
