100% onsite, M-F, 8am - 5pm

Description:

Scope of Position (i.e. projects involved with and role within group):

• We are seeking an engineer with a strong background in imaging systems, hardware, and electronics to join our dynamic team.
• The successful candidate will play a crucial role in the full development life cycle of high-precision glass stress metrology instruments.
• This position entails leading the development and integration of hardware components for devices such as cameras, motors, optics, lasers, and control boards, directly contributing to cutting-edge advancements in glass stress metrology technology.
• The candidate will become a subject matter expert on the instrument, focusing on its functionality, setup, and optimization. While a foundational understanding of software engineering is necessary, the candidate will have the opportunity to further develop these skills on the job.

Day to Day Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the design, development, and integration of hardware components including (but not limited to) cameras, motors, optics, lasers, and control boards.
• Utilize knowledge of imaging systems, and electronics to develop and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable hardware integration techniques.
• Optimize instrument performance by identifying and resolving bottlenecks and bugs in hardware integration.
• Engage in the complete product development lifecycle, from concept and design to testing and deployment, with a strong focus on hardware integration.
• Become a subject matter expert on the instrument, understanding its functionality, setup, and optimization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deliver new hardware features and innovations.
• Provide expert guidance and support in the development and troubleshooting of complex hardware-software solutions.
• Continuously update professional knowledge and technical skills in physics, optics, hardware, and electronics by attending workshops, reviewing professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies.
• Continue to grow an evolve technical knowledge is software development, hardware integration and best practices for both.

Education and Experience (minimum required for consideration):

• Bachelor's degree with 5 years' experience in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field. A Master's degree is preferred.

Required Skills (These are skills that candidates MUST possess):

• Strong knowledge of imaging systems, engineering and electronics.
• Experience with hardware development and integration.
• Practical experience in working with optical and laser hardware.
• A background in the instrumentation industry, particularly related to metrology or related fields.
• Intermediate proficiency in software engineering, with a willingness to learn and develop these skills further.
• Familiarity with code versioning tools (such as Git).

Desired Skills (These are skills that would be nice for candidates to possess):

• Hands-on experience in working with hardware and familiarity with integrating hardware APIs.
• Experience in motor control and associated hardware interfaces.
• Strong experience with MVVM architectural patterns.
• Understanding of modern unit testing frameworks and methods.
