Responsibilities:

The Staff Systems Design Engineer will lead efforts to architect, design, specify and verify

complex scientific instruments and subsystems. A well-rounded generalist rather than a

specialist is needed, with a broad understanding of complex optical, mechanical,

software-driven electrical systems, such as in an experimental physics environment. In this

position, architectural thinking is essential, and designing the system in clearly defined

modules with well controlled interfaces must come as second nature.

Requirements:

1. A Ph.D. in Physics, Optics, or similar engineering disciplines with five or more (5+) years of

industry experience OR MS in the same areas with eight or more (8+) years of industry

experience;

2. The candidate should demonstrate a high skill set not just in one specialty, such as Optics,

but also in other functional areas, such as Electronics or Mechanics. Cross-functional thinking

and skills are essential;

3. Must have a proven record of performing troubleshooting on complex instrumentation, such

as optical, electrical, mechanical, and software components;

4. Cross-functional thinking and skills in consensus building among various functions are

essential;

5. A profound understanding of optical systems, optoelectronics, opto-mechanical and

software driven hardware is necessary. First order optical layouts should be readily

understood, and in-depth knowledge of basic optics calculations (geometrical as well as

Gaussian optics) is required. Experience in lens design is advantageous;

6. Excellent oral and written communication skills in English;

7. Ability to adapt quickly to change and work in a rapidly changing environment;

8. Knowledge of or prior work experience in one or more of the following subject areas would

be helpful: medical electronic instruments, ophthalmic instruments, imaging or non-imaging

optics, image processing, machine vision systems, human vision, modeling and simulation

tools (MATLAB, Labview, MathCad/Mathematica/Maple);

9. Hands-on experience in the laboratory set-up, testing and the definition of system-level

requirements and design of experiments is essential;

10. Strong ability to work with Marketing and with other engineering groups in resolving design

trade-offs;

11. Experienced with design in product development projects and design control processes.

Familiar with ISO 9001， ISO 13485， IEC 60601. Candidates with a mechanical designer

background should be experienced in Pro-E and have knowledge about other 3-D CAD

systems (Autocad & Solidworks).
