Systems Engineer - Optics/Physics (m/f/d)

As a Systems Engineer, you serve as the technical bridge between physics, optics, and system integration - from requirements definition through to production readiness.

Your Responsibilities

• System Definition & Requirements Management:
• Derive technical system requirements from customer specifications; create and maintain system specifications (optical, mechanical, electronic) with clear traceability.
• Optical System Design & Analysis: Design and evaluate optical architectures (illumination, imaging, metrology) in close collaboration with the optics team; perform tolerance analyses and error budgeting.
• Verification & Validation: Plan and conduct evaluations; derive test cases from system requirements; assess measurement results against specifications.
• Leadership of interdisciplinary development teams in the role of Systems Lead; perform trade-off analyses; manage risks at the system level.
• Technical coordination with customers in Europe, the USA (Silicon Valley), and Asia; present system concepts and results at a professional/technical level.

Your Profile

• Completed degree in Physics, Optics, Photonics, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering field – PhD welcome and considered an advantage.
• Understanding of optical systems: geometric optics, wave optics, imaging systems, illumination design.
• Knowledge of systems engineering methodologies is an advantage.
• Familiarity with measurement techniques and optical characterization (interferometry, MTF, wavefront analysis).
• Experience with optical simulation software is a plus but not required (Zemax/OpticStudio, FRED, LightTools, or similar).

Personality & Working Style

• Strong analytical mindset and enthusiasm for complex, interdisciplinary challenges
  Initiative and pioneering spirit – you don’t just want to understand, but to shape and create.
• Clear, structured communication skills in German and English (spoken and written)
• Team player with the ability to act as a technical authority in front of customers.

Why In-Vision?

• Technologically challenging projects with global leaders in metrology, 3D printing, and lithography.
• International environment: customers and partners in Europe, the USA (Silicon Valley), and Asia.
  Direct influence on product architecture – no anonymous corporate structure.
• Appreciative, team-oriented company culture in an innovative high-tech company.
• Flexible working time models and a creative work environment in Guntramsdorf (south of Vienna).
• Individual training and career development opportunities.
