Optics Hardware Engineer

Our client is a technology specialized in 3D VISION and is looking for a 3D CAMERA HARDWARE ENGINEER with focus on OPTICAL SYSTEMS to help with the design and the development of 3D CAMERAS. The OPTICS HARDWARE ENGINEER will work at our client in Brussels for at least 4 months.

The Optics Hardware Engineer will:

Be involved in our projects focusing on designing, debugging and testing new electronic products, in particular state-of-the-art pioneering Real Time 3D depth sensing cameras combining IR, RGB, Depth and Voice technologies in Embedded systems. You will focus on the OPTICAL SUBSYSTEMS (illumination systems, lenses, diffusors) This involves designing/optimizing electronic/optical circuits and architectures, testing out new components to add new vision features to the camera and to lower the BOM cost, as well as redesigning and miniaturizing existing designs. You will also manage the eventual external specialized subcontractors (eg lens design houses, manufacturers)

You will leverage your expertise to boost time-to-market of the camera products with teams in Europe and in Asia.

You will work on:

- Research, design of prototypesvalidate samples at component and camera/system level
- Test/Debug/Validate/Characterize your new design implementation ( optical and electrical )
- Integrating new components into existing designs.
- Miniaturizing existing designs and ensuring design compliance with physical constraints.
- Drive and follow-up the regulatory certification of new camera products incorporating your new optical and Laser designs (for Laser/eye safety certification) and industrialize designs for other certifications like (EMC, USB, etc.) that you will conduct with external parties.
- Execute autonomously and in team hardware projects, setting up project roadmap and making sure deadlines are followed.
- Produce accurate and concise technical reports and design documentation.
- Provide feed-back to design team.
- Maintaining the BOM.
