Lead Opto‑Electronics Engineer

The Role

The Lead Opto‑Electronics Engineer is a senior technical leadership role focused on very low‑level light detection, optical imaging, and advanced photonic instrumentation. They will lead the development of high‑sensitivity detection systems with emphasis on maximizing signal‑to‑noise ratio through detector selection, amplifier architecture, low‑noise circuit design, and precision PCB layout. They will serve as a subject matter expert in photonic detectors and interfacing circuitry for scientific instrumentation.

Job Responsibilities
• Design and develop ultra‑low‑noise, high signal‑to‑noise analog front‑end electronics for optical detection systems
• Define requirements and specifications for photonic detectors (photodiodes, APDs, SPADs, SiPMs, and arrays) in collaboration with vendors
• Lead development and evaluation of optical imaging and light collection systems for weak signal environments
• Analyze detector physics, noise sources, and...
