As a Senior Applied Physicist with a background in optics, you play a central role in many Sioux projects.
As an Applied Physicist, you are responsible for the core technologies of our products. Although the emphasis will often be on the early phases of a project, you will be involved in the entire product creation process from the ideation of concept solutions and technology proof to industrialization. You will work on the development of optical systems, but also contribute to other challenges such as electron and x-ray physics, contamination, (ultra-)high vacuum and thermal design.
Key Responsibilities- Applying your broad physical knowhow and creativity to realize innovative solutions for the high-tech industry.
- Being involved in a project during the whole product creation process: from demonstrating the feasibility of your concepts in functional models and calculation, to translating them into a design to integration and verification testing.
- Variation, not only between conceptual work, modelling, design work and experiments in the lab, but also by working on one or more projects at the same time and working on various technologies for different applications and markets.
- Working in multidisciplinary teams including system architects, computational physicists, image processing mathematicians, and many others to get the job done.
- Guiding colleagues from other fields to further develop and realize your design as well as guiding junior engineers in their projects and coach them to further develop their (technical) talents.
You recognize yourself in the following profile:
- 5+ years of experience in system design for the high-tech industry.
- A completed academic degree (MSc or PhD) in physics.
- Experience in the design, realization, and verification of optical systems, including illumination and imaging / machine vision applications.
- Experience in the systems integration aspects of optical (sub) systems including opto-mechanics, tolerance analysis, metrology, and calibration.
- Experience in the design of one-offs as well as series production including industrialization.
- Excellent modelling, experimental and analytical problem-solving skills.
- A system approach with a talent to think on helicopter level as well as detailed level in combination with an excellent sense of priorities.
- A pragmatic hands-on approach and you are not afraid to pick-up a screwdriver when needed.
- Excellent communication skills, both with internal stakeholders but also towards customers and suppliers.
- A 32-40 hour working week, with room to work from home. A healthy work-life balance is very important to us!
- Personal coaching and a training budget of €6000 per year, so that you can continue to develop yourself.
- A VitaliTech budget that you can use, for example, to pay for your sports subscription or the purchase of a smart watch, laptop, or bicycle.
- You get a lease car, travel allowance or public transport pass. If you prefer to use one of our electric shared cars, this is of course also possible!
- Invitations to fun socials and activities for you, as well as for your partner and family.
