How much do retinal imaging analysis jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 18, 2026, the average yearly pay for retinal imaging analysis in the United States is $200,514.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $109,000.00 and $325,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is retinal imaging analysis?

Retinal imaging analysis is the process of capturing and interpreting detailed images of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, to detect, diagnose, and monitor various eye diseases. Specialists use advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus photography, and fluorescein angiography to visualize retinal structures and abnormalities. These analyses help in identifying conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma, often before symptoms arise, enabling early intervention and better patient outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a retinal imaging analyst?

To thrive as a Retinal Imaging Analyst, you need a background in medical imaging, ophthalmology, or a related field, often supported by a relevant degree or certification. Familiarity with imaging software (such as OCT, fundus photography), image analysis tools, and healthcare data management systems is crucial. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are important soft skills for accurate interpretation and collaboration with clinical teams. These skills ensure precise diagnoses, support patient care, and facilitate the integration of imaging data into medical decision-making.

What are the typical challenges faced by professionals working in retinal imaging analysis, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in retinal imaging analysis often encounter challenges such as interpreting complex or poor-quality images, managing large volumes of data, and staying updated on evolving imaging technologies. Collaborating closely with ophthalmologists and IT specialists helps ensure accurate image interpretation and efficient workflow. Continuous professional development, such as attending workshops and training in new imaging software, is essential for overcoming these challenges and advancing in the field.

What is the difference between Retinal Imaging Analysis vs Ophthalmic Technician?

AspectRetinal Imaging AnalysisOphthalmic Technician
Required CredentialsCertification in retinal imaging or ophthalmic technologyCertified Ophthalmic Assistant or Technician
Work EnvironmentSpecialized clinics, ophthalmology practices, research settingsEye clinics, hospitals, outpatient clinics
Employer & Industry UsageUsed primarily for diagnostic image analysis and researchAssists with patient exams, measurements, and basic diagnostics

Retinal Imaging Analysis focuses on interpreting retinal images to diagnose eye conditions, often requiring specialized certifications. Ophthalmic Technicians perform a broader range of patient care tasks, including assisting with exams and basic diagnostics. While both roles work in eye care settings, Retinal Imaging Analysis is more specialized in image interpretation, whereas Ophthalmic Technicians support overall patient testing and care.

Senior Optical Engineer - VETi Platform

Kodiak Sciences Inc

Palo Alto, CA • On-site

$151K - $196K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 24 days ago


Job description

Description
Kodiak Sciences (Nasdaq: KOD) is advancing vision science by integrating retinal biology, optics, artificial intelligence, medical imaging, and next-generation wearable technologies.
Our VETi™ - Visual Engagement Technology and Imager - platform is an AI-enabled wearable system combining advanced LiDAR, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), embedded computing, machine learning, and AR/VR technologies. VETi is being developed for applications in retina care, digital health, identity security, cognitive science, and broader AI-enabled vision technologies.
We are looking for a Senior Optical Engineer to build the optical foundation for Kodiak's VETi platform, from system concept through validated, production-ready instruments. This role is well suited for an engineer with strong optical design fundamentals who enjoys complex imaging and sensing problems and is excited to build optical systems that enable advanced medical imaging and wearable technologies. We are seeking strong optical engineers who are curious about medical imaging and motivated to work on advanced wearable technologies.
Responsibilities
  • Lead the design, simulation, and validation of optical systems for wearable imaging and sensing - from concept through production.
  • Design confocal laser scanning, OCT, and related optical subsystems for retinal imaging and diagnostics.
  • Model and optimize optical systems in Zemax - including tolerancing, stray-light analysis, and performance budgets.
  • Build and characterize optical benchtop prototypes, integrating sources, detectors, lenses, and MEMS scanners.
  • Bring up new optical assemblies and debug image-quality issues across optical, mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
  • Work with software and ML teams on image-processing algorithms for raw optical data, contributing optical-domain expertise on signal characteristics, calibration, and artifacts.
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, machine learning, and clinical teams.

Education / Required Qualifications
  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Physics, Optics, Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • 5+ years of professional optical engineering experience developing complex imaging systems.
  • Strong optical design and simulation experience with Zemax.
  • Hands-on experience designing confocal laser scanning microscopes, OCT systems, or similar imaging instruments, with a proven track record of building optical devices from prototype through validation.
  • Ability to collaborate across optical, electrical, mechanical, software, scientific, and engineering teams.

Additional Experience That Would Be Valuable
  • Programming and scripting (Python, MATLAB) for instrument control, data analysis, and algorithm prototyping.
  • Ability to design and model image-processing algorithms for optical and imaging data.
  • Experience with AR/VR optics, head-mounted display systems, or near-eye optics.
  • Experience with MEMS scanners, adaptive optics, wavefront sensing, or beam-steering technologies.
  • Experience taking optical assemblies from prototype through DFM/DFT to mass production.
  • Familiarity with regulated medical-device development (IEC 60601, ISO 13485, FDA) and laser safety standards (IEC 60825), or willingness to learn.

Why Join Kodiak
This role is for engineers who want their optical designs to drive real-world wearable systems - imaging, sensing, and embedded computing - and shape the hardware itself.
You will work at the intersection of software, hardware, medical imaging, optics, AR/VR, LiDAR, OCT, and AI. The platform is novel, the technical challenges are deep, and the work has the potential to shape a new class of wearable vision technologies.
