Senior Engineer - Field Quality

About usAs a Senior Engineer for Optical Design at SCHOTT, you will be instrumental in the development of next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) systems. You will join a dynamic and global team that transforms innovative concepts into products through optical and mechanical design, advanced simulation techniques and iterative prototyping. We seek individuals who excel in teamwork, can generate bold ideas, explore new technological areas, and drive concepts from prototypes to high-volume consumer products.We're looking for a product oriented engineer who thrives at the intersection of optics and software engineering: someone who can prototype new ideas quickly in code, validate them with data, and scale them into robust tools that are used daily by designers and manufacturing teams.The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in building software, algorithms, and internal tools for optical applications.Your ContributionLead development projects on creation and deployment of reusable software tools for optical design and analysis.Prototype new waveguide and component concepts and design targeted DOEs, supported by custom simulation scripts, optimization routines, and automated evaluation tools.Design, execute, and analyze experiments by linking measurement data with simulation models through computational tools and parameter-fitting algorithms.Evaluate and optimize components, conduct simulation to measurement correlation, and automated data processing pipelines.Perform optical sensitivity and tolerance analysis using commercial tools and Python-based Monte Carlo or parametric frameworks.Analyze production and development line data; build automated scripts and dashboards to detect trends, correlate OQC/IPQC, and recommend design or process adjustments.PhD preferredStrong programming skills in Python; Familiarity with optical component manufacturing and data-driven evaluation methods.Ideally experienced with 3D mechanical engineering and geometrical tolerancing (CAD).5+ years working on optical systems, ideally with demonstrated algorithm or tool development contributionsYour BenefitsSCHOTT's openness to promote your further development is just as great as our additional benefits. Ranging from active health management via flexible working hours and hybrid work all the way to corporate pension plans: everything geared to suit your goals and needs. Multiple career opportunities; Trust-based working timePlease feel free to contact usYou can expect interesting tasks and challenging projects, as well as motivated and friendly teams in fields that influence our future.
