Summary（岗位介绍）

We are looking for a world-class optical design and analysis engineer with

expertise in both imaging (VR, AR, camera) and illumination (stray light,

polarisation analysis) fields. The ideal candidate will play a crucial role in

advancing our optical design capabilities, contributing to the development of

new optical devices in various application fields. This position requires close

collaboration with other experts at Apple, and is focused on working directly

with optics manufacturers and process experts to validate high precision lens

designs new to industry.

Qualifications（岗位要求）

Proven experience in optics design and analysis.

Proficiency in optics design software (like Zemax, Code V, LightTools,

Fred, ASAP…)

Familiar with CAD software

Experience in DFM and optics manufacturing is also valuable

Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Effective communication and collaboration skills.

Description（岗位职责）

Optical design & analysis expertise:

Demonstrate a track record of optical designs in fields such as VR, AR,

camera optics, or other fields requiring high-end-performance imaging lenses.

Demonstrate proficiency in the use of optical concepts, terms and design/

analysis methodology. Demonstrate proficiency with software for optical

design and modelling.

Experience in polarisation and the non-imaging (illumination) branch of optics

is also welcome, particularly in the analysis of stray-light/ghost image.

Optics manufacturing Experience:

• DFM: Support the design and development of large lenses, considering

optical requirements, structural integrity, and manufacturability.

• Mass production of lenses: Demonstrate knowledge of various optical-

grade materials and high-precision mass production optics manufacturing

technologies.Collaborate with optics vendors to evaluate and select

appropriate manufacturing and process technologies for mass production

and prototyping.

• Metrology: Demonstrate knowledge of lens characterisation equipment and

metrology data interpretation. Support robust quality control measures to

ensure the production of lenses meets stringent specifications

Collaboration and Communication:

Work closely with multi-functional teams, including other optical designers,

materials scientists, and manufacturing specialists, to achieve project

objectives.

Communicate effectively with team members, providing technical expertise

and updates on project milestones.
