Optical Engineer, Digital Twin

Stellenbeschreibung:

Develop and maintain integrated optical and multiphysics simulation frameworks (optical, thermal, mechanical coupling) for Digital Twin applications
Model complex laser amplifier architectures, including gain media, pump geometries, and thermal effects
Build, integrate, and continuously refine the Digital Twin environment for system-level prediction and optimization
Validate simulation models against experimental data and perform sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
Develop reduced-order and surrogate models for efficient Digital Twin deployment
Collaborate with optical engineers, laser physicists, and experimental teams to translate simulation results into engineering design decisions
Interface with Digital Twin architects, systems engineers, and program management to ensure models meet project requirements

Solid understanding of laser and optical physics (propagation, amplification, spectral and nonlinear effects)
Experience in model validation, uncertainty quantification, and data-driven refinement
Strong programming skills in Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or similar
Experience with simulation tools such as COMSOL, ANSYS, Zemax, CodeV, or FRED
Ability to communicate complex simulation results clearly to non-specialists
Strong collaboration skills across interdisciplinary teams
Structured and analytical problem-solving approach
Ability to work independently while aligning with broader system goals
Advanced written and verbal communication skills in English.
