The posting

About the Role Amazon Devices & Services is seeking an Optical Metrology Engineer to drive optical measurement strategy and execution across our portfolio of consumer electronics products including Echo Show, Ring cameras, Fire tablets, Kindle, and emerging device categories. You will be the technical authority on optical characterization, establishing measurement methodologies that ensure world-class image quality, display performance, and sensor accuracy.

Key Responsibilities Optical Measurement & Characterization • Design and implement comprehensive optical test methodologies for cameras, displays, projectors, and optical sensors across the product development lifecycle • Develop automated measurement systems for image quality assessment (MTF, distortion, color accuracy, dynamic range, noise characterization) • Establish display metrology protocols (luminance uniformity, color gamut, viewing angle, contrast ratio, flicker) • Create optical alignment and calibration procedures for multi-camera systems and depth sensors

Quality & Standards Leadership • Define optical performance specifications, host demo and validate acceptance criteria in collaboration with Product, Design, and Engineering teams • Drive root cause analysis for optical defects and performance issues using advanced measurement techniques • Establish correlation between subjective image quality assessments and objective measurements • Develop failure analysis methodologies for optical components and modules

Infrastructure & Tooling • Build and maintain state-of-the-art optical measurement labs with equipment including spectroradiometers, goniophotometers, integrating spheres, and imaging test targets • Develop custom measurement software and automation scripts (Python, MATLAB) for high-throughput testing • Implement statistical process control (SPC) for optical manufacturing quality monitoring • Create measurement uncertainty budgets and validate measurement system capability (GR&R studies)

Cross-Functional Collaboration • Partner with Display/optical/advance manufacturing Engineering teams to optimize optical designs for manufacturability and performance • Work with Contract Manufacturers to implement optical testing at production scale • Support Product teams with competitive benchmarking and optical performance trade-off analysis

Innovation & Continuous Improvement • Research emerging optical measurement technologies and integrate into development workflows • Publish internal technical standards and best practices documentation • Mentor junior engineers on optical measurement principles and techniques • Drive cost reduction initiatives through measurement optimization and automation

Work Environment • This role is based in Taipei • Requires travel to manufacturing sites (20~50%) • Hands-on lab work with optical equipment and prototypes • Collaborative environment working across hardware, software, and product teams

Why Amazon Devices? Join a team that's inventing the future of ambient computing. Your optical metrology expertise will directly impact millions of customers using Echo, Ring, Fire, and Kindle devices. You'll work with world-class engineers, and have the resources to build measurement capabilities that set industry standards.

- 5+ years of experience in optical metrology, characterization, or related field - Familiar with color science - Hands-on expertise with optical measurement equipment (spectroradiometers, colorimeters, MTF benches, integrating spheres) - Strong understanding of imaging systems, photometry, colorimetry, and radiometry - Proficiency in measurement automation using Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW - Proven track record of driving optical quality improvements in consumer electronics or similar products

- Master's or PhD in Optical Sciences, Imaging Science, or related field - Deep expertise in camera characterization (MTF, distortion, shading, color calibration, HDR performance) - Experience with computational photography and multi-camera system calibration - Knowledge of display technologies (LCD, OLED, microLED) and measurement standards (VESA, IEC) - Familiarity with 3D sensing technologies (structured light, ToF, stereo vision) - Experience establishing optical test capabilities at contract manufacturers in Asia - Published research in optical measurement or imaging science - Strong statistical analysis skills (DOE, regression analysis, capability studies - Experience with machine learning approaches to image quality assessment - Excellent communication skills with ability to present complex technical concepts to diverse audiences

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
