Overview

Weare seeking a Senior Display Engineer, Optics & Cover Glass to join our Advanced Display Technology team and drive New Technology Introduction (NTI) for display optics, cover lens materials, coatings, and optical bonding solutions. In this role, you will evaluate, develop, and mature emerging technologies that enhance display performance, durability, efficiency, and user experience across future automotive display systems.

Working closely with display manufacturers, optical material suppliers, and cross-functional engineering teams, you will assess new technologies, establish validation methodologies, leadproof-of-concept activities, and advance solutions from early-stage development through technology readiness. Your work will help build a robust technology pipeline for future instrument clusters, center displays, and passenger infotainment systems.

Asa Senior Display Engineer, Optics & Cover Glass, you will be responsible for exploring and developing advanced optical and cover lens technologies for next-generation automotive displays.

The role focuses on optical films and light management systems, includingbrightness enhancement films (BEF/DBEF), diffuser and prism films, LCD and OLED polarizers, anti-reflective (AR), anti-glare (AG), and anti-fingerprint (AF) coatings, chemically strengthened glass, polymer cover lens materials, and optical bonding technologies.

Akey responsibility is establishing the optical characterization and benchmarking methodologies used to evaluate display performance, cover glass solutions, coatings, and bonded display stacks throughout the technology development lifecycle.

You will partner closely with display panel suppliers, optical material suppliers, and internal teams to evaluate emerging technologies, validateperformance against automotive requirements, reduce technical risk, and mature solutions for future vehicle programs. Once technologies achieve the appropriate level of readiness, you will support their transfer into sourcing and production organizations.
