Enko Group is recruiting a Camera Optical Design Engineer for our client, a leading global technology company with an R&D center in Tampere, Finland.

In this role, you will design and deliver high-performance optical systems for compact camera modules - from early concept to a functional prototype- working closely with optomechanical, electrical, and algorithms specialists.

Job Description

• Design optical systems for miniaturized camera modules targeting flagship smartphone performance requirements

• Execute optical performance analysis including MTF optimization, tolerance analysis, and desensitization

• Translate optical designs into manufacturable solutions in close collaboration with globally distributed, multidisciplinary partner teams

• Analyze metrology reports and drive corrective design actions based on measurement results

• Research emerging optical technologies and assess their applicability to next-generation camera module designs

Qualifications & Skills Requirement

• MSc or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or other relevant field

• Hands-on experience with lens design for Consumer Electronics imaging products, preferably with smartphones

• Proficiency with lens design and ray tracing tools (e.g., Ansys Zemax OpticStudio, CodeV)

• Design for Manufacturing (DFM) experience for high-volume production preferable

• Experienced with Lens Design Optimization for AF/OIS actuators

• Working knowledge of lens-sensor integration constraints (CRA matching to sensor micro-lens array, BFL/FFL, packaging envelope)

• Experienced with miniaturization techniques applied to imaging optics (e.g., folded optics, periscope architectures)

• Proficiency in simulation and optimization techniques (e.g., desensitization, tolerancing, stray light analysis)

• Proven adaptability in dynamic business conditions - self-driven, self-directed, and proactive in taking initiative and ownership with minimal supervision

• Strong documentation discipline - ability to produce unambiguous technical reports, specification documents, and design review materials with minimal supervision

• Effective communication skills at both engineering and executive levels

• Ability to cooperate and work effectively in distributed team settings across time zones and organizational boundaries

Nice to have Skills:

• Hands-on experience with optical metrology tools (MTF bench, interferometer, wavefront sensor)

• Understanding of computational imaging principles and co-design of optics with ISP/post-processing pipelines

Location & Contract Type

The position is based on-site in Tampere, Finland.
