COMPANY

Tunoptix is a fast-growing startup focused on revolutionizing the way optical systems are conceptualized, designed, and manufactured using nanotechnology and semiconductor processing. We combine semiconductor-defined meta-optics with advanced, AI-based image processing and proprietary design techniques to enable next-generation cameras. Tunoptix products will expand possibilities in the fields of machine vision, consumer electronics, medical endoscopy, 3D imaging, and hyperspectral imaging.

Tunoptix is an emerging leader in meta-optics and computational imaging and was founded to commercialize disruptive meta-optical technologies developed in the research groups of professors Arka Majumdar and Karl Bohringer at the University of Washington. We have raised venture funding from IP Group as well as from major government funding organizations including DARPA and NASA. Tunoptix is also a member of the vibrant startup community at the University of Washington CoMotion Fluke Labs incubator.

POSITION - Opto-Mechanical Engineer

Reporting to the Director of System Design, the Mechanical Engineer will collaborate with a talented team of engineers and scientists to develop and test mechanical designs for cutting-edge Tunoptix systems. Specifically, this includes both mechanical design and integration of optics into the final packaging, as well as developing fixtures for use in an internal experimental lab. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and capable engineer to gain expertise in the growing field of meta-optics and computational imaging systems. Together, we can shape next-generation imaging systems for industrial machine vision, medical instrumentation, automobiles, robotics, and consumer electronics.
