Job Description :

Design and develop optical systems for automotive exterior lighting products, including reflectors, lenses, light guides, thick-wall optics, and other illumination concepts.
Create and optimize optical prescriptions to meet photometric, styling, packaging, thermal, and manufacturing requirements.
Perform optical simulations, analyse results, identify performance gaps, and implement design improvements.
Collaborate with mechanical design teams to resolve packaging, tolerance, material, surface-quality, and assembly-related issues affecting optical performance.
Support feasibility studies, concept evaluations, technical proposals, and preliminary performance assessments for new business opportunities.
Coordinate prototype, laboratory, and vehicle-level evaluations of optical models and production-intent parts.
Conduct physical lamp measurements and analyze photometric performance using laboratory equipment.
Provide optical design requirements and technical guidance to program management, tooling, manufacturing, quality, and project teams.
Prepare optical reports,



simulation results, design documentation, and customer presentation materials.
Participate in technical reviews and product-performance evaluations with customers and internal stakeholders.
Support troubleshooting of optical performance issues during development, tooling, industrialization, and production.
Maintain awareness of applicable automotive lighting regulations and homologation requirements, including ECE, SAE, FMVSS, and CCC.

Required Skills and Competencies
Strong understanding of geometric optics, photometry, illumination principles, and automotive lighting systems.
Experience in designing reflectors, lenses, light guides, thick-wall optics, or related optical systems.
Hands-on experience with optical simulation software such as LucidShape, Ansys Speos, or equivalent tools.
Working knowledge of 3D CAD tools such as CATIA, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or Solid Edge.
