Work alongside software, mechanical, and electrical engineering teams on projects that directly impact our vision care technology, contributing to design, prototyping, testing, and validation efforts.
Conduct experiments and analyses to validate designs, troubleshoot technical challenges, and document findings to inform future iterations.
Develop practical engineering skills through mentorship from senior engineers, learning industry-standard tools, methodologies, and cross-functional collaboration.
Support specific technical work such as CAD modeling, circuit design, embedded systems development, software features, testing frameworks, and technical documentation.
Take ownership of components or features, propose improvements based on your observations, and see the direct impact of your contributions on a product reshaping vision care accessibility.
