About this role

Job Overview

We are looking for an Opto-mechanical Engineer to join our Manufacturing team and play a critical role in the design, integration, and manufacturing of opto-mechanical systems for our photonic products. This role will sit at the intersection of mechanical design, optics, and manufacturing, helping us translate optical designs into robust, manufacturable hardware.

You will take ownership of designing and validating opto-mechanical assemblies, including mounts, and alignment structures for optical and photonic components. You will work closely with Hardware, and manufacturing engineering teams as well as vendors from across the world to ensure designs are optically sound, mechanically robust, and ready for scalable production.

This is a highly hands-on engineering role suited to someone comfortable moving between CAD design, optical modelling, and physical prototyping and testing. You will be expected to troubleshoot mechanical and optical integration issues, iterate on designs quickly, and help establish repeatable, production-ready opto-mechanical solutions. Fresh graduates with strong relevant project, internship, or academic experience are welcome to apply.

What you'll be doing

Design opto-mechanical components and assemblies (mounts, housings, brackets, alignment stages) using SolidWorks

Model and analyse optical systems and tolerances using Zemax

Translate optical design requirements into manufacturable mechanical designs

Perform tolerance analysis to ensure optical alignment and performance across manufacturing variation
