Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

You will help develop and optimize advanced display test and calibration processes and station architectures to enable top-of-the-line display system development and manufacture.

Responsibilities

• Lead the integration and test for novel optical test stations, with a focus on near-to-eye displays.
• Work with optical suppliers to procure optical elements, including regular status updates, technical oversight, acceptance test verification, and anomaly resolutions.
• Develop and bring up display test stations from requirements and equipment specification through vendor build, installation, and qualification at the contract manufacturer.
• Generate alignment plans and procedures for optical test equipment.
• Manage integration and test vendors to successfully scale production of complex display assemblies.
• Develop and review test setups, procedures, and data to transition products and systems from R&D to production.
• Qualify measurement capability through Gauge R&R, MSA, and measurement uncertainty analysis, and set defensible test limits against product specifications.
• Evaluate and analyze prototype and production optical system performance errors to determine root cause.
• Interface with test and evaluation teams to qualify optical performance through lab and field testing.
• Support NPI builds on site and provide rapid-response test support during ramp.

Required Qualifications

• BS in Optical Engineering, related field or equivalent experience.
• Experience with delivering production-ready optical test stations to a supplier factory.
• Knowledge of image quality metrics and data analysis methods.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally to test equipment vendors and contract manufacturer sites, up to 25%.
• Knowledge of how electro-optical systems are designed, specified, developed, manufactured, and tested.
• Working knowledge of display and imaging metrics: luminance, chromaticity and white point, uniformity, contrast, MTF or SFR, distortion, etc.
• Demonstrated experience in the integration, test, and performance requirements verification and validation of optical systems.
• Experience working with international suppliers of optical or display products.
• Experience in prototype and production development, including testing and demonstration.

Preferred Qualifications

• MS in Optical Science or Optical Engineering.
• Demonstrated first principles approach to complex opto-mechanical problems.
• Statistical fluency with Gauge R&R, MSA, SPC, Cp and Cpk, DOE, and measurement uncertainty analysis.
• Experience with the design, analysis and development of diffraction limited imaging systems in dynamic environments.
• Experience with optical tolerancing, athermalization evaluation, lens manufacturing methods, and drawing standards.
• Demonstrated team leadership experience and mentoring of junior staff.
• Knowledge of common materials used in optical systems and limitations of fabrication methods of optics (molded, polished, diamond turned) as well as micro structures.
