Job Description

Optical Engineer (All levels)


About Ceres

Ceres Holographics is at the forefront of developing Holographic Displays for exciting new applications, particularly in the automotive sector. We are developing new paradigms for in-car displays, including Holographic Transparent Displays. These will transform the driver and passenger experience, turning a car from a mobility tool into a fully connected information and entertainment environment.


We are deeply engaged with leading global OEM and Tier 1 companies to turn these applications into standard in-vehicle equipment. We have developed unique capability around holographic applications and the manufacturing toolset, including digital holographic mastering and high-volume roll-to-roll holographic replication. We are further building the engineering team to succeed with these opportunities, and scaling for success with global customers.


Job Title

Optical Engineer (All levels)


Role Summary

We are seeking an Optical Engineer to drive our cutting-edge holographic capability to the next level. This includes developing:


•   Models of system and component level performance

•   Novel holographic products

•   Holographic mastering, replication, and test capability


Ceres has developed unique technology to design, print, replicate and test holograms for a range of industries, including automotive, trucking, agricultural, construction and consumer electronics. We have developed the capability to design and manufacture large format, optically flexible holographic optical elements, at scale. Ceres is currently developing its core product range, driven by strong customer interest from global customers.


We are currently seeking a strong candidate to drive this capability to the next level. They will further develop our existing product offering and optical automation toolset. The candidate will work closely with our expert engineering and operations teams to accomplish this. They will also deal with suppliers, contractors, and customers where appropriate.


This is a challenging role. Understanding our products and the underlying fundamental physics, and then turning this into robust products is the heart of the role.

The Optical Engineer will report to the Director of Engineering and be based at our newly developed site in Livingston, Scotland.


Skills and Experience

The ideal candidate is likely to be degree qualified in a technical subject, such as Physics, Laser Engineering, or a similar technical discipline. It is anticipated that they will hold a higher degree such as a PhD in a relevant field, although this is not mandatory.


Experience with any of the following subjects is directly relevant, in an academic or industrial environment:


•   In-depth optical modelling, including custom library development

•   Optical product development

•   Optical prototyping and test in an optics lab

•   Lasers, projectors, SLMs, DMDs, cameras

•   Programming and instrument interfacing

•   Optical machine development


Additional experience in other fields, such as electronics, process development or manufacturing engineering will be considered favourably.


There is considerable scope for enhancement and growth in this role, as the company grows over the next short period.


Benefits Package

An attractive package is available for the right candidate, including a competitive salary, contributory pension scheme, bonus scheme and healthcare. Relocation expenses may also be available where appropriate.

We anticipate that the candidate will be based on site in Livingston, to facilitate effective team working.
