As part of our innovative optics team, you will work on designing and optimizing optical systems that ensure top-notch imaging performance for diagnostic tools, while also contributing to the design and development ofIOLsthat enhance patient outcomes. Key Responsibilities: Optical Design for IOLs : Lead the design and optimization ofIntraocular Lenses (IOLs) , includingmonofocal ,multifocal , andtoric lenses . Perform advanced ray-tracing, optical analysis, and simulation to ensure the IOL designs provide excellent visual outcomes for patients. Ophthalmic Diagnostic Equipment & Imaging Systems : Design and optimize optical systems forophthalmic diagnostic toolsand imaging devices, such asOptical Coherence Tomography (OCT) ,fundus cameras ,slit-lamp imaging , and other retinal imaging technologies. Simulation & Modeling : Use advanced optical design software (e.g.,Zemax ,Code V ,LightTools ) to simulate, model, and optimize optical systems. Ensure that designs meet image quality, resolution, aberration limits, and light transmission for both diagnostic equipment and IOLs. Prototyping & Testing : Collaborate with prototyping and testing teams to manufacture optical components. Conduct thorough testing and validation of optical designs to ensure they meet performance and regulatory standards. Design Optimization : Optimize the performance ofIOLsand imaging systems based on testing feedback, addressing issues such asaberration reduction ,depth of field , andlight transmission efficiency . Cross-functional Collaboration : Work closely withR&D ,manufacturing , andquality assuranceteams to ensure seamless integration of optical systems with mechanical and electronic components in both diagnostic devices and IOLs. Documentation & Reporting : Create detailed design documents, specifications, test reports, and design change reports. Maintain accurate records for design revisions, testing protocols, and regulatory compliance. Quality & Compliance : Ensure that optical designs for IOLs and diagnostic equipment comply withISO 13485 ,FDA regulations , and other relevantmedical device standards . Innovation & Continuous Improvement : Stay up to date with the latest advancements inoptical technologies ,IOL materials , andimaging systemsto drive continuous improvement in product performance. Requirements: Educational Qualification : Bachelor’s or Master’s degree inOptical Engineering .Experience : Minimum3-5 yearsof experience in optical design, with direct experience in thedesign of IOLsand/orophthalmic imaging systems . Experience indesigning monofocal, multifocal , andtoric IOLs , including the use ofray tracing ,aberration analysis , andoptical optimizationtechniques. Experience in designing optics forophthalmic diagnostic equipment(e.g.,OCT ,fundus cameras ,slit-lamps , etc.). Hands-on experience withoptical design softwaresuch asZemax ,Code V , orLightTools .
