The main technologies include adaptive optics, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, and the implementation of innovative methods to track eye motion with unprecedented accuracy. The systems are used for a wide range of applications, from monitoring the efficacy of treatments to slow eye disease to elucidating the circuits in the retina that underlie human color and spatial vision.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><u>We are looking for a capable and innovative engineer</u> who will join our team to help develop and build a new generation of optical systems to achieve our research goals. Eligible candidates must have fundamental skills in designing and building optical imaging devices and must have demonstrated experience with complete systems, including optics, electronics, hardware and software. Specific experience with adaptive optics, Zemax optical design software, ophthalmic imaging and scanning laser imaging systems are desirable, but not required.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> </div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The specific task of the engineer will be to help design, build and maintain systems for basic science applications at UC Berkeley and for clinical applications at UC San Francisco. This aspect of the project is part of larger multi-center NIH funded project involving a team of scientists and engineers at multiple sites (UC Berkeley, UCSF, University of Alabama, Montana State University). The engineer will be meeting regularly with engineers and scientists at the other sites and so good communication skills are a high priority.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b><i>Required Qualifications</i></b></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Minimum of a bachelor's degree in a technical field (optical engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering or equivalent).</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Fundamental skills in designing and building optical systems.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Demonstrated experience with complete systems, including optics, electronics, hardware and software.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Good communication skills.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b><i><br></i></b></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b><i>Preferred Qualifications</i></b></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Specific experience with adaptive optics, Zemax optical design software, ophthalmic imaging and scanning laser imaging systems.<br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Working knowledge of engineering principles and methods in order to independently perform professional design work of limited scope and complexity.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Working knowledge necessary to begin independent application of principles, practices and procedures in the completion of assignments.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Organizational abilities and decision-making to prioritize work assignments.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Effective written and verbal communication skills.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">•<span class="gmail-m_8438347415148989066gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Ability to work in a collaborative manner, to assist in identifying any challenges or barriers.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b><i><br></i></b></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b><i>Salary & Benefits</i></b></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Commensurate with experience; excellent benefits.
