Optics Engineer — Scanner Developer, Optics

Employment type: FULLTIME. Requisition: 8525701. At 3Shape we improve treatment and diagnostics for dental patients through innovative software and 3D scanners for dental professionals worldwide. A quarter of our staff work in R&D. Your role Our scanners have to work the same way in thousands of dental clinics as they do on an optical bench in Copenhagen.

This role bridges the gap from optical concepts to solutions that can be manufactured, calibrated, verified, and released. You will join the optics team in R&D and own the optical subsystem in one or more scanner development projects at a time. Depending on the project, this means designing it yourself, or defining specifications for a development partner to build, then verifying the result.

Finally, you will be responsible that the optical subsystem will work in the product. Much of the work takes place where design meets real-world implementation: what tolerance mechanics can eventually hold, what a supplier can deliver at volume and at cost, what calibration needs from the optics, and what to do when the measurement disagrees with the model.

You will work in a multidisciplinary team of mechanical, electronics, embedded software and test engineers alongside production engineering, quality and regulatory colleagues. Success in this role depends on your ability to collaborate effectively across these functions1 …
