Opto-Alignment Technology, Inc. · Charlotte, North Carolina
We are looking for a Senior R&D Engineer to develop our next generation of metrology and alignment systems, taking new products from early concept through working prototype to release. This is a full-time, on-site position at our Charlotte, NC headquarter.
This role calls for a strong engineering foundation and hands-on lab work: building and testing prototype hardware, setting up and characterizing motion systems, and working directly with our production team to turn designs into instruments.
Responsibilities
▪
Develop new metrology and alignment systems, from requirements and concept through prototype, test, and release
▪
Build and test prototypes in the lab, and integrate sensors with automated positioning systems
▪
Set up, tune, and characterize precision motion systems (linear and rotary stages, air bearings, encoders, and controllers), including accuracy, repeatability, and error-budget analysis
▪
Collect and analyze measurement data in MATLAB, and build reusable analysis tools
▪
Model and simulate system performance in MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape (including Simscape Multibody), and check models against measured hardware behavior
▪
Design precision mechanisms and fixtures using sound principles (exact constraint, stiffness, thermal stability)
▪
Support product design in SolidWorks, including parts, assemblies, drawings, and engineering changes under our ISO 9001 design control process
▪
Work with production, quality, and customers to turn requirements into working instruments
Required Qualifications
▪
B.S. in Mechanical, Optical, or Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
▪
At least 5 years of industry or applied-research experience developing precision electromechanical or optomechanical systems
▪
Proficiency in MATLAB for data analysis and scripting
▪
Proficiency in SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, and detailed drawings with GD&T)
▪
Strong grounding in data analysis, statistics, and measurement uncertainty
▪
Clear communicator who works well independently and in a small team
▪
Must be a U.S. Person due to ITAR requirements
Preferred Qualifications
▪
M.S. in a related field
▪
Experience with Simscape Multibody and with modeling air bearings or precision stages
▪
Background in optical testing, alignment, surface metrology, or interferometry
▪
Experience working under a formal design control or ISO 9001 quality system
