Engineer Optics developing illumination optics for DLP projectors at Barco. Collaborating with international teams on innovative optical engineering solutions.
Responsibilities
As an Engineer Optics – Illumination Systems, you will be responsible for the design, simulation, and validation of illumination optics for 1-DLP projector platforms.
You will define optical architectures from light source to DMD, specify projection lens requirements, and ensure colour and brightness performance meet system targets.
The role includes close collaboration with key optical suppliers and hands-on work with colour and optical measurement equipment.
Design and optimize illumination systems for 1-DLP projectors.
Develop optical models using Zemax OpticStudio, including: Light source coupling and illumination optics, Integrator rods, light tunnels, or homogenization optics, Relay optics up to the DMD.
Define and review projection lens specifications in collaboration with system and lens suppliers.
Apply ‘colour science principles’ to achieve target colour or brightness performance and stability.
Measure and validate colour, luminance, and uniformity using: Spectrometers, Colorimeters.
Analyze measurement results and correlate them with simulations.
Develop analysis tools and perform data processing using Python or other scientific programming languages.
Work closely with key optical suppliers, including: Requirement definition and technical reviews, Design follow-up and performance validation, Support prototype builds, optical alignment, and system-level testing in close cooperation with operations/production engineers.
