Optical Engineer

High‑tech companies rely on advanced optical and opto‑mechanical systems for applications in semiconductor equipment, precision instrumentation, medical technology, space systems, quantum technologies and industrial metrology. As an Optical Engineer, you contribute to the development, realization and validation of these high‑performance optical systems.

You will work in a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating with optical designers, mechanical and thermal engineers, manufacturing specialists, metrology experts and system architects. Whether you are early in your career or already experienced, you will play an important role in building and testing complex optical assemblies that meet demanding performance requirements.

What You Will Do

• Support the development and realization of precision optical systems.
• Contribute to feasibility assessments of optical concepts, including achievable performance, stability and alignment strategies.
• Work with advanced optical tools and measurement equipment such as interferometers, theodolites, spectrometers, cameras and calibrated light sources.
• Perform optical alignment tasks and execute optical performance tests under guidance or independently, depending on experience.
• Analyze measurement data, identify deviations and propose improvements.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure system‑level performance and smooth integration.

What You Bring

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Applied Physics, Optical Engineering or a related field.
• Affinity with optical systems or optical metrology
• Ability to read and understand optical and technical drawings.
• A careful, precise working style, especially when handling sensitive optical components.
• Curiosity and eagerness to learn new tools, techniques and technologies.
• Strong communication skills and enjoyment of working in multidisciplinary teams.
• A structured approach to documentation and problem‑solving.
• Fluency in English and comfort working in an international environment.

Last but not least:

If you do not meet all the requirements but you do have a grade in Physics, please feel free to apply!

Thank you very much and we look forward to discussing these opportunities with you!
