Vacatures in Riethoven

Senior Optical Designer

As a Senior Optical Designer you guide the entire product creation process from concept phase to industrialization for high-tech products and machines. In this role, you support our customers in developing high-tech systems, where electron and x-ray physics, contamination, ultra high vacuum and thermal design play an important part. You will work for customers in the semiconductor, analytical, and medical equipment industry, within the Brainport region and beyond. Your optical expertise plays a guiding role in bringing high-tech solutions to life, like wafer steppers and electron microscopes.

What excites you as a Senior Optical Designer?

From our office in Eindhoven and sometimes at our clients’ premises you like to keep yourself busy with:

• Applying your optical system design expertise and creativity to realize innovative solutions for the high-tech industry
• Being involved throughout the entire product creation process: from ideation and demonstrating the feasibility of your concepts through functional models and calculation, to translating them into robust designs followed by integration and verification testing.
• Working in multidisciplinary teams including system architects, computational physicists, image processing mathematicians, and many others to get the job done.
• Guiding colleagues from other disciplines to further develop and realize your design, while also mentoring junior engineers in their projects and supporting the growth of their (technical) talents.

Sounds good so far? We’d love to tell you more...

This is what you bring to the table

• Master’s or PhD diploma in physics or a closely related field.
• 5+ years of experience in the design, realization, verification and industrialization of optical systems for the high-tech industry, including lens and illumination design as well as imaging / machine vision applications.
• A system-level mindset, with the ability to switch effectively between high-level system thinking and detailed technical analysis, combined with a strong sense of priorities.
• Experience with the system integration aspects of optical (sub-)systems including opto-mechanics, tolerance analysis, metrology, and calibration.
• A strong physical understanding of a broad range of optical measurement techniques, including computational methods such as holography and ptychography.
• Excellent modelling, experimental and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Good communication skills, both with internal stakeholders but also towards customers and suppliers.

This is what you can expect in return from Sioux

• Flexible 32-40 hour working week, with room to work from home.
• A healthy work-life balance is very important to us. We have 28 holidays with an option to buy an additional 12 holidays.
• You will work with passionate colleagues who share your drive for technology and business success.
• By combining our expertise in software, electronics, mechanics, mechatronics, mathematics and assembly, we make the impossible possible for our customers and get to work on challenging high-tech projects.
• You get a lot of freedom and responsibility; after all, you know exactly what you are doing.
• Personal coaching and a training budget of €6000 per year, so that you can continue to develop yourself.
• We also find it important to have fun together. We organize a lot for our employees, from family festivals and sparkling Christmas parties, to inspiring knowledge sessions for the high-tech community.
• Our Sioux office is located in a prime location in the heart of the Brainport region. At our main office you can enjoy lunch, sports, making music, and sharing your knowledge with colleagues in one of our Tech Labs.

High-Tech & High-Fun

We can tell you all about the typical Sioux culture and the challenging high-tech projects. About how you can develop yourself like nowhere else. But we prefer to leave this to our own colleagues.

Important note

This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the US Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.).
