## Description

Logitech's Personal Workspace Solution (PWS) engineering group is seeking a Lead Optical Engineer to play a key role in the development of new camera-based products.

The successful candidate will complement existing team capability with deeper strength in camera module integration, optical root cause analysis, supplier design review, IR image quality performance, and validation/test result verification.

Responsibilities:

- Drive hands-on optical simulation and modeling using standard design packages (Zemax, Code V, LightTools, etc.)

- Lead optical root cause analysis (RCA) and apply structured, data-backed troubleshooting methodologies

- Audit and verify ODM/supplier designs, serving as the technical authority reviewing external optical designs, tolerance stack-ups, and validation plans

- Co-develop next-gen camera modules with specialized camera module and lens design partners

- Integrate active optical and auto-focus systems, driving hardware integration and collaborating with firmware and ISP engineering teams

- Ensure methodological and analytical rigor, analyzing large-scale empirical test datasets

- Optimize production and test architecture, defining optical test specifications and establishing robust correlation between engineering validation labs and factory test stations

- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, firmware, quality, and program management teams

Key Qualifications:

- Advanced proficiency in optical design and simulation tools (Zemax, Code V, LightTools, TracePro, or equivalent)

- Proven track record of conducting rigorous root cause analysis on optical anomalies

- Strong capability to critically review, challenge, and verify external ODM/supplier optical designs

- Solid understanding of active optical systems, including VCM/actuator selection and Auto-Focus (AF) algorithm interaction

- Hands-on experience integrating image sensors with optics

- Exceptional ability to translate complex optical test data into clear engineering decisions

- Working knowledge of 3D modeling software (Creo/ProE, SolidWorks, or equivalent)

- Advanced knowledge of DFMEA, DFMA, PSS, and optical tolerance stack-up analysis

Preferred Qualifications:

- Minimum 7 years of engineering experience in consumer imaging, video collaboration, security cameras, or automotive vision products

- Direct experience in NPI builds, factory optical test bring-up, and lab-to-factory correlation studies

- Practical experience working within multi-site and cross-regional engineering models

Education:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
