optomechanical engineer
Optomechanical engineers design and develop optomechanical systems, devices, and components, such as optical mirrors and optical mounts. Optomechanical engineering combines optical engineering with mechanical engineering in the design of these systems and devices. They conduct research, perform analysis, test the devices, and supervise the research.
Also called: opto-mechanics engineer, engineer in optomechanical systems, optomechanical technology engineering adviser, optomechanical engineering consultant, engineer in optomechanical design, optomechanical engineering adviser, engineer of optomechanical systems, optomechanical engineering expert
