Role OverviewMatter is hiring an Optical Engineer focused on the mid-wave infrared portion of our sensing architecture. This role will help design, analyze, integrate, and validate optical performance across the MWIR path while working closely with optomechanical, detector, calibration, thermal, and systems teams.
What You Will Do
Support optical design and trade studies for the MWIR portion of Matter's sensing systems, develop and maintain optical performance, tolerance, stray-light, and interface analyses, and plan and execute optical assembly, alignment, characterization, and calibration activities.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in optical engineering and experience with infrared or spectroscopic systems, as well as hands-on experience with optical test, alignment, characterization, or calibration.
Requirements
- Strong foundation in optical engineering and experience with infrared or spectroscopic systems
- Experience connecting optical models, tolerances, and component characteristics to measured performance
- Hands-on experience with optical test, alignment, characterization, or calibration
- Ability to communicate technical tradeoffs and work effectively across engineering disciplines
Benefits
- Competitive compensation based on experience
- Early-stage equity package
- 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage
