Morrow’s vision is simple: to improve yours
Our view is a world where nothing is missed, and one pair of glasses does it all. Because there’s more to see than ever before, and you deserve to see the bigger picture without edges or limitations.
Our story starts with Jelle De Smet and Paul Marchal, two pioneers who with combined experience in electronics and nanotechnology invented the Autofocal lens. They saw a better way, where ageing eyesight is no longer a burden and progressive lenses were a prequel.
Morrow was founded in 2016 followed by years of research, development and meticulous fine-tuning. We now launch our flagship Autofocal Eyewear that combines Active Liquid Crystal and a two-layer corrective lens to transform your vision both near and far at the touch of a button. The company is supported by Tokai Optics, Imec, New Science Ventures, QBIC and PMV and is based in Ghent, Belgium
The Job Description
To strengthen its team, the company is looking for an enthusiastic and energeticSenior Optical Scientist to help realize its ambitions.
What you will be doing?
Your role is to drive and improve our fundamental optical skills by fine-tuning our modeling capabilities and improving our optical metrology, resulting in better products and higher yielding manufacturing.
Responsibilities:
- Design and validate our next generation (tunable) lenses by translating user test feedback into practical lens designs
- Build mathematical and simulation based models to improve the fundamental understanding of our products' performance and production tolerances
- Provide theoretical and practical support on all optics related metrology and process steps
- Explore new metrology and related processing algorithms for yield and quality monitoring
