Purpose of the Position
This senior level position is responsible for the optical design, tolerancing, and characterization of high-end color corrected diffraction limited microscope objectives and imaging lenses. An understanding of lens manufacturability, alignment, and assembly of tightly-toleranced lens systems is required, along with the ability to work on optical designs with limited guidance in a fast-paced environment. As a senior member of the engineering team, you may be called on to mentor and guide less experienced engineers with projects and technical challenges, and to provide longer term guidance on new product areas to pursue. Although the location of the position is in Newton, NJ, from time to time it may be required to undertake duties at other Thorlabs locations.
Essential Job Functions include the following, but are not limited to:
Develops and characterizes high-end color corrected diffraction limited microscope objectives and imaging lenses.
Works closely with mechanical engineers to ensure that mechanical designs meet required system tolerances
