Optical Coating Engineer
From powering space exploration and advancing medicine to enabling defense and shaping the optics inside everyday devices — our impact reaches far beyond today. Join the OPTOMAN team as an Optical Coating Engineer.
Responsibilities
- Ensure smooth daily IBS coating production according to the plan.
- Operate and monitor IBS equipment, adjust process parameters, identify and solve deviations.
- Prepare and maintain production documentation (process plans, instructions) and ensure order quality/output.
- Solve technological issues related to product specifications and optical coating performance.
- Organize non-standard metrology (e.g., abs, roughness, LIDT, CRD, GDD, phase) and interpret results.
- Coordinate new drawings of mounts and mechanical parts for non-standard customer orders.
- Manage projects: planning, budgeting, resource coordination, execution, and reporting.
- Perform basic technological calculations and prepare technical proposals for sales at the inquiry stage.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of technologies and processes, participate in experiments and internal improvement activities.
Core mission
- Ensure stable, high-quality IBS optical coating production that meets technical specifications and delivery deadlines.
- Develop and optimize coating designs and processes, using metrology data and analysis to improve performance and yield.
- Support new products and projects by translating customer requirements into robust, manufacturable optical coating solutions.
Required Superpowers
- Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Engineering or related field.
- 1+ years in optical coatings / related field (preferably laser tech or IBS).
- Experience with thin film design (OptiLayer, OTF Studio, TFCalc), optical metrology (InterVue, Zygo Mx, EssentOptics), IBS control/analysis, data analysis (Power BI) and/or programming (MATLAB, Python) – considered as a strong advantage.
- Solid knowledge of dielectric optical coatings (HR, AR, POL, NPBS, etc.), main coating materials (Ta₂O₅, TiO₂, SiO₂, MgF₂) and deposition technologies (thermal evaporation, E-beam, IBS, MS).
- Understanding of optical component specs and metrology (R, T, absorption, scattering, flatness, GDD, LIDT; spectrophotometer, interferometers, LIDT/CRD).
- Ability to read technical drawings; basic project & time management skills.
- Lithuanian and English – C1.
Rewards
- Additional health insurance (or equivalent well-being package).
- Flexible growth budget for relevant courses, certifications, and conferences.
- A friendly, supportive, and collaborative team culture.
- Company-wide events and team activities throughout the year.
- Smooth onboarding with dedicated mentors and structured training.
- Flexible work schedule – possibility to combine work with studies and, if needed, work part-time, with occasional Saturday work (approx. once per month).
- Competitive salary (2800-4200 EUR gross) and an annual bonus system, with the final offer based on your level of expertise.
