Optical Engineer - Camera
Harmattan AI, Paris
The role
As an Optical Engineer in the Gimbal team, you are responsible for the optical performance of our EO/IR imaging payloads, which drive image quality, detection range, and robustness in operation. You will work on current products and shape the design of future ones. You follow each product from sizing and prototyping through validation and mass production, working closely with the mechanical, electronics, software, computer vision and industrialization teams.
What you will do
- Sizing and design of EO/IR imaging payloads, arbitrating between field of view, resolution, range, and sensor choice.
- Select lenses and sensors, or lead custom optical designs, against image quality and robustness targets.
- Design, build, and maintain optical test benches for development, validation, and production.
- Measure and validate image quality:
