Develop innovative propulsion technology solutions while testing and validating electrified and conventional axle components and systems at Daimler Truck. Collaborate cross - functionally to ensure product reliability and performance.
About the role
- Optical Engineer designing and developing precision optical systems for traffic signaling. Collaborating with engineers to ensure compliance with global photometric standards.
Responsibilities
- Design and optimize optical components (refractive and reflective) using advanced Ray Tracing software.
- Develop high-precision Fresnel lenses for traffic signals, prioritizing light extraction efficiency and beam shaping.
- Conduct photometric simulations to analyze light ray distribution and intensity patterns.
- Lead laboratory testing using advanced optical instruments to validate prototypes against theoretical models.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers to ensure optical designs are compatible with injection molding and housing constraints.
- Occasional travel to Tijuana Mexico (approximately 10%).
Requirements
- B.S. in Physics, Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
- 2–5 years of proven experience in optical design and testing.
- Expertise in optical simulation tools such as Zemax OpticStudio, LightTools, Code V, or Fred.
- Deep understanding of non-sequential ray tracing and photometry.
- Hands-on experience with lab equipment: Goniophotometers, Spectroradiometers, and Integrating Spheres.
- Familiarity with traffic safety standards (e.g., ITE, EN 12368, or SAE) is highly desirable.
- Possess a valid passport and global entry strongly preferred, or the ability to obtain required travel documents within a reasonable timeframe.
Benefits
- A GREAT work environment with fun, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful team members.
- Benefits package to support you and your family’s health.
