Job Description

Senior Optical Design EngineerSummary:At specialized we are committed to innovate and provide the best performance bicycle that benefit and improve our riders supporting our purpose to pedal the planet forward and contribute toward green environment. To strengthen our newly setup e-Bike electronics team in Singapore who working closely with team based in Europe, we are seeking for experience and passionate Senior Optical Design Engineer that would be great if obsessed specifically with development of periheral with optical element for an electric mobility solution. In this role you will be at the forefront of simulating and collaborate with mechanical and electronics team to designing, prototyping, integrating and verifying proprietary illumination or imaging solutionsHow you will make a difference:

• A strong background in optical engineering with proven design experience and concept creation of novel lighting or imaging system
• Ability to use optical simulation software to determine critical geometry characteristics of new designs and enhance these accordingly as well as carry out tolerance analysis
• Optical solution design experience such as create light pipes with an even distribution of light, while achieving certain beam angle and candela targets for the emitted light, creation of faceted reflectors to achieve required beam distribution on the roadway.

• Work with the mechanical Engineering, electronics team to develop new design concepts of lighting or imaging solution
• Work with suppliers to define, specify, and evaluate optical coating performance on prototype components and mass production products
• Assemble and evaluate prototypes \xe2\x80\x93 specifically optical characteristics, image quality (MTF), light polarization measurement, thermal characteristics

What do you need to win:

• Bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s or master\xe2\x80\x99s degree in optical engineering or similar course and able to demonstrate understanding of Optical Physics and first principles-based approach to problem solving
