Senior Optical Measurement Systems Engineer
Core
Lead architecture, development, and validation of optical measurement systems for fibre and related products, focusing on hollow-core fibre and cable-level measurements.
Role type
Senior IC optical measurement systems engineer
Builds
Optical and electronic hardware, instrument control, automation software, data pipelines, fixtures, and safety controls for characterisation and production testing
Domain
Optical engineering, fibre characterisation, measurement physics, control systems
Required skills
Optical engineering, materials science, measurement physics, control systems fundamentals, experiment design, root-cause analysis, technical leadership, hands-on system development, production test conversion
Preferred skills
Hollow-core fibre characterisation, cutback/OTDR/backscatter/modal/polarisation/interferometric/imaging techniques, Python/C# programming
Technologies
Python, C#, instrument communications, data pipelines, visualisation tools
Responsibilities
Translate physical models and measurement theory into test requirements, uncertainty budgets, calibration strategies, and acceptance criteria; Design experiments and interpret observations relevant to fibre characterisation (attenuation, mode coupling, modal content, polarisation, interference); Establish and maintain measurement-system-analysis practices (Gage R&R, correlation studies, reference artefacts, SPC); Apply control-systems fundamentals to sensing, actuation, feedback, and stabilisation; Drive technical investigations and root-cause analysis; Mentor engineers and improve shared engineering standards
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
