How does working as an optician online differ from a traditional in-store environment?

As an online Optician, you'll primarily interact with customers through digital communication channels, such as chat, email, or video calls, rather than face-to-face. This means you'll need to be comfortable explaining complex optical concepts virtually and guiding customers through frame and lens selection remotely. You'll also collaborate closely with remote teams, such as customer service and warehouse staff, to ensure accurate order fulfillment and customer satisfaction. Adapting to evolving technology platforms and maintaining up-to-date product knowledge are essential for success in this dynamic online role.

What is the difference between Opticians Online vs Dispensing Opticians?

AspectOpticians OnlineDispensing Opticians
CredentialsUsually no formal certification required for online servicesRequires a GOC-approved qualification and registration
Work EnvironmentOnline platform, remote consultation, digital salesOptical practices, retail stores, clinics
Industry UsagePrimarily e-commerce and remote servicesIn-store customer service and fittings
Search & ComparisonOften compared for online vs in-person servicesCompared for in-store expertise and fittings

Opticians Online typically refers to digital or e-commerce platforms offering eyewear and consultation services, often without formal certification. Dispensing Opticians are qualified professionals registered with the GOC, working directly with customers in physical settings. While Opticians Online focus on remote sales, Dispensing Opticians provide personalized fittings and advice in-store, making their roles complementary but distinct within the optical industry.

What is an optician online?

Opticians Online are licensed eyecare professionals who provide optical services and products through online platforms. They help customers choose eyeglasses, contact lenses, and other vision aids by offering virtual consultations, prescription verification, and advice on frame selection. Many Opticians Online also handle orders, troubleshoot issues, and provide after-sales support, all remotely. This service makes it convenient for people to access quality eyecare from the comfort of their homes.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an optician online?

To thrive as an Optician Online, you need a solid understanding of optical science, lens fitting, and prescription interpretation, typically supported by certification or licensure as an optician. Familiarity with online sales platforms, digital measurement tools, and customer management systems is essential. Strong communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving abilities are vital for providing remote assistance and ensuring customer satisfaction. These skills enable accurate vision care, seamless online service delivery, and the building of customer trust in a digital environment.

Ephemeris Net

El Segundo, CA • On-site

$137K - $177K/yr

Full-time

Medical, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 7 days ago

Job description

About Ephemeris Net
We are extending the internet to space.
Ephemeris Net is a pre-seed space networking company on a mission to provide connectivity for all space users through collaborative engineering of commercial space networking solutions. We are creating the infrastructure that will enable the space internet beyond bent pipe by laying the foundational networking infrastructure that will define how data moves through space.
We are supported by our parent incubator Second Order Effects, institutional VCs, and our network of space advisors. As space use scales and more space native networks come online, we believe that now is the chance to build foundational infrastructure for how the internet will work in space.
The Role
We are looking for an Optical Engineer to own the design, build, test, and flight of the optical systems that move data through the Ephemeris Net network, including coherent optical transceivers and the free-space optical assembly that pairs with it.
You will own optical hardware end to end, across both the transceiver and the free-space link. On the transceiver side, this is the fiber optical signal chain: optical modulators, optical hybrids, photodiodes, lasers, fiber splitters, beam splitters. On the free-space side, this includes telescopes/beam expanders, lenses, mirrors and involves ray tracing, tolerancing, and stray light analysis required to close link budgets in orbit. You will be supported by the electrical engineering team for optoelectronic design and a mechanical team for opto-mechanical structure. You will build and fly some of the most sensitive optical hardware ever deployed in space and then scale it to mass manufacturing.
This role will report to the CTO and founder, Nicolas Brown.
Key Responsibilities
Optical System Design & Build
  • Design and assemble coherent transceiver optics from components: optical modulators, optical hybrids, photodetectors
  • Design the free-space optical assembly including optical design and ray tracing: tolerancing, ghost analysis, and stray light analysis to close on-orbit link budgets
  • Design the fiber optical layout, including alignment fixtures and opto-mechanical packaging
  • Own the transmit and receive signal chain performance from RF electrical output through free-space launch and from free-space back to RF electrical

Test & Characterization
  • Develop and execute bench-level test plans for the transceiver and free-space assembly: modulation quality (EVM, constellation diagrams), wavefront quality, noise figure, bandwidth, optical power budgets, thermalization
  • Characterize coherent detection performance: receiver sensitivity, common-mode rejection, and phase noise
  • Verify free-space optical performance: wavefront error, encircled energy, pointing stability, stray light rejection

What We're Looking For
Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in optical engineering, applied physics, photonics, electrical engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience designing or building robust, precision electro-optical instruments in fiber, free space, or both
  • Working knowledge of one or more areas: coherent detection architectures (IQ modulation/demodulation, balanced detection, optical hybrid operation), free-space optical design (ray tracing, tolerancing, stray light), or laser and fiber systems at the component level
  • Proficiency with optical instrumentation (OSAs, power meters, interferometers, collimated beams, wavefront sensors, beam profilers) and RF and microwave test equipment (network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, high-speed oscilloscopes)
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with optical design and ray tracing software including stray light and ghost analysis
  • Experience designing telescopes, beam expanders, or pointing and tracking optical paths with cameras
  • Familiarity with space-qualified hardware design, environmental testing (thermal, vibration, radiation), or flight heritage optical systems
  • Experience specifying analog PCB requirements for high-bandwidth RF signal chains (TIA, driver amplifiers, bias networks)
  • Active security clearance

What We Offer
Compensation and Benefits:
  • Salary dependent on experience (please note that all posted levels for this role route through the same review process; applying to multiple levels will result in duplicate applications)
    • Engineer II: $150,000 - $190,000
    • Senior Engineer: $170,000 - $210,000
    • Staff Engineer: $200,000 - $250,000
  • Generous equity package (early team member level)
  • 401k program
  • Comprehensive health care coverage
  • Unlimited PTO (we expect you to take at least 4 weeks per year, and leadership does the same)

Work Environment:
  • Hybrid work model: 3 days per week in our office/lab based on project needs
    • During critical phases: When we are in integration, test, or launch prep mode, expect to be in the office more frequently for coordination with the mission team
  • Expected travel: Up to 25% (customer meetings, supplier visits, launch campaign, partner sites, integration sites, other Ephemeris offices)
  • Small team environment
  • Autonomy and space to define how we work and execute.

The Opportunity
  • Build something that does not exist yet: The unique aspects of this optical system mean it is impossible to buy off the shelf
  • Bench to orbit: Your hardware will fly. You will take this from optics on a breadboard to a space-qualified optical terminal
  • Build the space internet: Work on technology that will fundamentally change how space networks operate

Our Vision and Values
Ephemeris Net's vision is to enable an open, space internet that anyone can utilize and access.
We believe that access to better digital connectivity is essential for human progress and that space is the frontier of digital connectivity. We believe that collaboration within market competition is the most effective way to expand the internet into space. Using Ephemeris Net to build space network solutions is how we can proliferate digital connectivity, collaboration, and "the raising of all boats" while achieving a commercial impact.
We care deeply about:
  • Access to connectivity for all
  • Collaboration that raises all boats; we focus on win/win deals
  • Commercial impact: building solutions people value and buy
  • Personal growth and creating a place where people build their careers
  • Putting good out into the world through the work we do and our interactions with each other

We are building a company people feel great about working at. We are seeking people who are open and actively seeking growth-both technical and personal. We value honesty, creativity, and a culture of ownership.
