Optical Engineer (All Levels)

Job DescriptionOptical Engineer (All levels)About CeresCeres Holographics is at the forefront of developing Holographic Displays for exciting new applications, particularly in the automotive sector. We are developing new paradigms for in-car displays, including Holographic Transparent Displays. These will transform the driver and passenger experience, turning a car from a mobility tool into a fully connected information and entertainment environment.We are deeply engaged with leading global OEM and Tier 1 companies to turn these applications into standard in-vehicle equipment. We have developed unique capability around holographic applications and the manufacturing toolset, including digital holographic mastering and high-volume roll-to-roll holographic replication. We are further building the engineering team to succeed with these opportunities, and scaling for success with global customers.Job Title Optical Engineer (All levels)Role SummaryWe are seeking an Optical Engineer to drive our cutting-edge holographic capability to the next level. This includes developing:•Models of system and component level performance•Novel holographic products•Holographic mastering, replication, and test capabilityCeres has developed unique technology to design, print, replicate and test holograms for a range of industries, including automotive, trucking, agricultural, construction and consumer electronics. We have developed the capability to design and manufacture large format, optically flexible holographic optical elements, at scale. Ceres is currently developing its core product range, driven by strong customer interest from global customers.We are currently seeking a strong candidate to drive this capability to the next level. They will further develop our existing product offering and optical automation toolset. The candidate will work closely with our expert engineering and operations teams to accomplish this.
