Open Position - Senior/Staff/Principal Optical Engineer - Visualization SystemsOpportunity:Horizon Surgical Systems Inc. is seeking an experienced optical engineer with expertise in complex imaging and illumination systems to contribute to a novel surgical visualization system for ophthalmology.
Expectations and Responsibilities:As an
Optical Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development of an advanced, multimodality ophthalmic visualization system. In this position, you will work closely with a team of optical, mechanical, electrical and software engineers to construct, evaluate and maintain novel imaging devices as part of a robotic surgery platform.
As part of our team, your core responsibilities will be to:- Participate in the optical and opto-mechanical design of a multi-modality surgical imaging platform, comprising a multi-channel digital microscope, complex incoherent illumination system and a state-of-the art swept source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) system
- Construct, align, calibrate and maintain advanced prototype systems and release candidates; work closely with electrical, mechanical, and software teams to ensure optimal system performance
- Devise, maintain and execute standard operating procedures for construction, alignment and calibration of prototype systems
- Construct and evaluate modular bench prototypes to demonstrate capabilities of the candidate designs
- Gather feedback from early users and pilot studies, and work with product management and engineering teams to iterate on design
- Operate within a quality management system to allow traceability and team-wide collaboration
- Participate in DfM efforts to ensure system manufacturability and serviceability
Preferred Qualifications- Preferred: B.S.+10/M.S.+5/PhD+3 YOE in optical or electrical engineering, physics or a related discipline
- Minimum: B.S.+5/M.S.+3/PhD +0 YOE
- Experience in the construction, alignment and calibration of optical systems, both bench/lab prototypes and commercial systems
- Familiarity with optical design tools (e.g. Zemax, Code V or OSLO)
- Familiarity with CAD software (e.g. Solidworks)
- Strong understanding of practical aspects of optical systems, including opto-mechanical design and tolerancing (GD&T), coherence and statistical optics, and design considerations for selecting light sources (lasers, SLDs, LEDs), and detectors (high speed cameras, balanced photoreceivers, etc.)
- Prior experience in working with Optical Coherence Tomography systems
- Prior experience developing medical devices, and an understanding of quality management systems and design controls as applied to medical devices
Compensation:Horizon Surgical Systems offers a competitive compensation and benefits package including medical, dental, 401k, remote days, unlimited PTO, paid maternity/paternity leave, and company holidays.
Base salary ranges (not including the equity and end of year bonuses)
- Senior: 110k to 135k
- Staff: 135k to 160k
- Principal: 160k to 185k
This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-tech startup that is revolutionizing surgical robotics in ophthalmology.
