Optical Systems Software Developer

In this role, you will help transform optical design algorithms into stable, high-performance customer products for adaptive lithography optics systems. Working in an interdisciplinary team, you will collaborate closely with experienced optics, mechatronics and embedded software experts.

• Optimize internal algorithms developed for the design of adaptive lithography optics systems
• Understand optical design concepts and predominantly Python-based algorithms
• Transfer algorithms into C++ together with an experienced internal optics expert team
• Bring the resulting solutions to series readiness within customer systems
• Integrate increasingly complex functionalities of optical subcomponents into product control systems
• Analyze the functionality of the complete optical system
• Develop algorithms and product software that translate the desired optical behavior into specifications for mechatronic systems controlling adaptive optics
• Collaborate with experienced colleagues from optics, mechatronics and embedded software

• Completed university degree in physics, applied computer science, data science or a comparable field; a doctorate is welcome
• Strong knowledge of geometric optics and experience developing efficient algorithms for optimizing optical systems
• Familiarity with adaptive optics, Zernike polynomials and wavefronts
• Experience with efficient numerical computing tools such as BLAS or LAPACK
• Proficiency in NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch and Jupyter Notebook
• Experience developing more complex software in C or C++
• Experience with Julia or ONNX is an advantage
• Strong communication skills and the ability to structure and clearly document complex topics
• German and English language skills at least at B2 level
