• 8+ years of experience in systems design and integration, with a focus on optical modules or AR/VR display systems
• Experience with optical systems, and general knowledge of optics including imaging, illumination, diffractive optics, radiometry and colorimetry, physical and geometric optics, and polarization
• Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional teams in a hardware product development environment through to completion while balancing evolving priorities and a broad range of stakeholders
• Proven experience with system requirements flow-down, module interface definition, and end-to-end validation

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience with AR/VR display technologies, waveguides, or diffractive optics
• Familiarity with consumer electronics manufacturing processes, supplier engagement, and mass production ramp
• Experience in one or more optical design tools such as Zemax, Code V, LightTools, FRED, or ASAP
• Experience in design for manufacturing design for cost, quality control and statistical analysis using JMP, Matlab, Python, or similar programs
• Experience managing time-sensitive projects through to completion while balancing evolving priorities and a broad range of stakeholders
• Experience with program management or technical leadership roles

• Lead the development of novel optical combiners that may include diffractive optics, reflective optics, and classical optics, serving as a key component in AR display products
• Drive system architecture and requirements definition to create new AR experiences, and help advance technology and research roadmaps
• Work on all aspects of system engineering from initial identification of risk and issues at the operational level through to the strategic decision processes
• Demonstrated experience of trying new approaches, balancing risk and impact for developing requirements and verification related deliverables, such as specifications, design criteria, system descriptions, and verification tracking
• Develop processes to ensure proper documentation at all stages of product development, requirements flow, verification, validation, and interactions between various subsystems
• Coordinate and lead cross-functional teams including optical, mechanical, materials, and manufacturing engineers to deliver solutions on schedule
• Lead the hardware product development flow, from initial design and prototyping through integration, validation, and large-scale production
• Develop and execute comprehensive verification and validation strategies to ensure that hardware systems meet the specified requirements and function correctly in the intended environment
• Facilitate effective communication across teams, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned on priorities, timelines, and deliverables
• Contribute to program management activities, tracking progress, resolving issues, and ensuring key milestones are met
• Document and communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, and system-level impacts for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
