JOB: Graduate Optical Design Engineer

**Physicist required**
Bee Lighting Ltd
Salary:  £ TBD      pa
Location: West Midlands
Job Type: Permanent, full time
Web: www.beelighting.co.uk         

We have a vacancy for a graduate Physicist, whom is interested in pursuing a career in the field of Automotive and Product Lighting Design, to join our Optical Design team. Prior knowledge of this highly specialised field is not required, and the successful applicant will be given full training.

Your responsibilities will include:
•    Design and development of optical systems for automotive lamp designs.
•    Simulation of optical systems to assess compliance to customer and regulatory requirements.
•    CAD modelling of the optical components for simulation and ultimately production tooling purposes.
•    Preparation of Optical Design reports to be issued to customers.
•    Participate as part of Cross-Functional project teams to ensure correct integration of the optical systems into the final product.
•    Customer interaction to ensure their requirements are satisfied.
You will have the following qualifications:
•    MPhys or BSc (Hons) / MSci in Physics. (Applied physics bias)
•    Have studied Optics modules and have an understanding of:
o    Classical Optics, with a focus on imaging optic design. An understanding of non-imaging Illumination optic design would be beneficial.
o    LEDs, Lasers and Opto-electronic devices.
o    Optical Ray Tracing/ Simulation techniques.
o    Solid-State/ Semiconductor Physics.
o    Electronics.
o    Electro-Magnetism.
o    Thermodynamics.
•    Preferably be able to use CAD design software, Catia V5/ SolidWorks/ Rhino etc.   

We are a young, dynamic company that is rapidly earning an enviable reputation as experts in the field of automotive lighting.

Mitacs Globalink Research Project in Canada

One of our final year students took part in a  Mitacs Globalink Research Internship last summer. This is a competitive initiative for international undergraduates, which we advertise every year. Here is their story: I originally applied to the program following an advertising email from the university in the summer of 2020, thinking I will never get it because I am not the best physicist. Later during the application process I was interviewed, where they discussed what they wanted me to do during the project. Originally the project involved me travelling to Canada, to do organic semiconductor fabrication and research. However, due to covid, the project was turned virtual. During the internship, I was investigating a proposed mechanism for doping of organic semiconductor, because the proposed mechanism is not energetically feasible. So I had to generate a model of various different doping molecules and organic semiconductors to go through the mechanism to see if any of the steps could b

International Women's Day 2022 #BreakTheBias

  International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. This year we are called upon to  #BreakTheBias . From the International Women's Day 2022 website:  "Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all  #BreakTheBias. " On 8 March we had a fantastic panel ( Cheyenne Polius , Fiona Turner , Gillian Gehring , Lee Kenny and Steph Edwards ) to talk around the IWD2022 theme of Break The Bias. The panel members came from a wide range of industries and backgrounds, and it was really exciting that we were able to bring all this different expertise and perspective into the department.   We know that gender bias and inequali
