Description
We are looking for a talented and motivated Senior Electro-Optical Systems Validation Engineer to join our new team in Herzliya. We work at the intersection of machine learning, hardware, and software, creating technologies that reshape how people communicate and experience the world around them in everyday life.
In this role, you will take ownership of the validation and characterization of advanced electro-optical systems, with the opportunity to develop testing capabilities and measurement methodologies from the ground up.
This is a highly hands-on engineering role that combines laboratory experimentation with in-depth data analysis.
You will design and build optical test setups, develop automated measurements, investigate system performance, and turn experimental results into meaningful engineering conclusions.
Working at the intersection of optics, hardware, and software, you will help establish new laboratory capabilities, shape validation methodologies, and contribute to the development of emerging sensing technologies.
Minimum Qualifications
BSc in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Electro-Optics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of relevant engineering or applied research experience in electro-optical systems, optical characterization, validation, or related fields
Strong understanding of applied optics and electro-optical systems, with the ability to apply optical principles to measurement design, characterization, and troubleshooting
Hands-on laboratory experience, with the ability to independently develop, operate, and troubleshoot experimental setups
Strong analytical and system-level problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate system behavior and identify technical issues
Good programming skills, with the ability to understand, develop, and troubleshoot code for test automation, equipment control, and data analysis
Ability to independently drive technical activities from planning through execution and conclusions, with strong technical communication and presentation skills
Preferred Qualifications
MSc in Physics, Electro-Optics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline
Experience designing and developing electro-optical characterization setups, including instrument integration and mechanical fixtures
Experience with imaging systems, laser-based sensors, optical sensing, or optical metrology
Experience using Python for laboratory automation, instrument control, and data analysis
Familiarity with optical performance characterization, sensor calibration, and alignment methodologies
Experience characterizing electro-optical system performance under varying environmental conditions, such as illumination, temperature, moisture, and motion
