- Design and fabrication of optical test fixtures
- Participation in design reviews of optical, mechanical and electrical systems
- Optical fiber handling and termination
- Electrical and mechanical benchtop work under the guidance of senior engineers
- Authoring, maintaining, and following build instructions and SOPs
- Creating, updating, maintaining, and providing feedback on electronic log books, assembly instructions, inventory logs, device travelers, mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, status reports, and other documentation
- Verification and validation testing
- Working cross-functionally with other teams to support system integration
Required Qualifications and Abilities:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Optical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related discipline
- 0-3 years professional experience in engineering or a related field
- Experience working with precision optical systems
- Experience with electronics assembly and/or repair
- Experience reviewing mechanical designs in CAD software
- Strong communication and organizational skills
Desired Qualifications and Abilities:
- Experience in medical, aerospace, or other highly regulated industry
- Familiarity with optical design software
- Familiarity with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- Experience with 3D printing (SLA and FDM)
This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-tech startup that is poised to revolutionize surgical robotics in ophthalmology.
The base salary range for this role is $85,000–$115,000, in addition to a performance-based annual bonus, equity (stock options), a comprehensive benefits package, and a generous PTO policy.
