Company Description Dynamic Optics is focused on becoming a technology leader in adaptive optics, developing solutions that enable precise tuning of optical systems for advanced imaging and laser processing applications. The company addresses challenges such as defocus adjustment, aberration correction, and light shaping, where traditional optics lack the required accuracy and speed. Backed by experienced researchers who understand evolving market needs, Dynamic Optics designs and manufactures multi-actuator adaptive lenses, deformable mirrors, and wavefront sensors. These products are used in diverse fields including microscopy, vision science, astronomy, high-power lasers, and defense, offering technical professionals opportunities to work on cutting-edge optical technologies.
Role Description This full-time Optical Engineer role is an on-site position based in Padua. The Optical Engineer will design, model, and optimize adaptive optical systems and components, including lenses, mirrors, and wavefront sensing solutions. Daily tasks include performing optical simulations, analyzing system performance, and supporting the integration of optical subsystems into complex instruments. The role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams on requirements definition, prototyping, testing, and validation of optical designs for applications such as microscopy, laser processing, and imaging. The Optical Engineer will also contribute to documentation, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of existing products and processes.
Qualifications
- Strong skills in Optical Design and Optical Engineering, including modeling, simulation, and analysis of optical systems.
- Experience with laser-based applications and Systems Design, particularly in integrating optical components into complete instruments.
- Solid foundation in Physics, with the ability to apply theoretical principles to practical optical and photonic designs.
- Proficiency with optical design software (e.g., Zemax, Code V, COMSOL) and familiarity with laboratory measurement tools and methods.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Ability to work on-site in Padua, collaborate in multidisciplinary teams, and communicate technical concepts clearly in English.
- Experience in adaptive optics, laser systems, microscopy, or imaging applications is highly beneficial.
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a practical, hands-on approach to experimental validation and troubleshooting.
