Responsibilities

• Serve as a technical lead for the optomechanical design and development of near eye display system including waveguide MCO, display engines, and integrated waveguide, light engine, push and pull lenses, imaging cameras and eye tracking system.
• Architect and execute the mechanical integration of optical sub-systems (e.g., waveguides, light engines, camera modules) into miniaturized, lightweight form factors for consumer wearability.
• Drive the Design For Manufacturability (DFM) and Design For Assembly (DFA) from concept through mass production, working closely with vendors and internal manufacturing teams.
• Develop comprehensive tolerance budgets and perform detailed stack-up analyses to ensure designs meet all optical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.
• Establish and own the mechanical and optical metrology strategy, developing test methods, fixtures, and automation for validating components and system performance.
