Work Schedule: 6-month contract- On-site position

About the Role
Are you passionate about shaping the future of vehicle aesthetics, safety, and advanced mobility technologies? We are seeking a Senior Automotive Lighting Optical Design Engineer to lead the development, simulation, and optimization of next-generation automotive lighting systems.
In this role, you will bridge cutting-edge optical physics with real-world mechanical integration—designing advanced headlamps, tail lamps, light guides, and next-gen projection technologies (ADB/Matrix LEDs) for top general automotive OEMs.

Key Responsibilities
• Optical Surface & Concept Design: Define, model, and refine complex optical components—including reflectors, lenses, collimators, light guides, and micro-optics.
• Photometric Simulation & Analysis: Conduct high-precision optical simulations using SPEOS, LucidShape, or ASAP to evaluate light distribution, efficiency, and aesthetics.
• Regulatory Compliance & Standards:



Ensure all optical designs comply strictly with global automotive standards (FMVSS 108, ECE R149, and relevant SAE regulations).
• CAD Integration: Utilize CATIA V5 to integrate optical surface definitions seamlessly into complex mechanical assemblies.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with mechanical, electronics, tooling, and validation teams during technical feasibility reviews and product launches.
• Testing & Lab Correlation: Analyze goniometric measurements and laboratory test results to validate and correlate physical prototypes against simulation models.
• Advanced Technology Innovation: Support projects featuring modern automotive lighting trends, including Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB), matrix LED, and projection systems.

Requirements & Key Qualifications
• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Optomechatronics, Physics, Mechatronics, Photonics, or a related technical discip
