About Us
Here at Envisics, we are an internationally based automotive technology company with an ambitious goal to re-define and revolutionize the next generation of in-vehicle experience with the development of an industry leading Augmented Reality Head Up Display.
Using the innovative technology of phase-only holography, we are making this a reality!
We’ve already assembled some of the world’s top scientists & engineers from worldwide renowned companies and due to our success and growth, Envisics is now looking to open the doors to entry-level talent, in the form of three industrial placements. Industrial placements last for 1 year and are for undergraduate students.
Summary Of Role
The successful candidate will work within the R&D team developing next-generation holographic display technologies which make a true 3D image appear to float in front of your eyes. There’s no need to wear glasses and this is real, no longer science fiction! The candidate will carry out experimental lab work to measure the performance of new holographic display prototypes and their subsystems. This is an excellent opportunity to work with world experts who are producing a new display technology which will bring true holographic displays into widespread use for the first time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities
- Evaluate performance of different display designs and optimize prototype configurations to deliver the best image quality, including work on optical benches and with fully built prototypes.
- Use data analysis and simulations to relate the measured performance to the optical design and help to set the direction for further design improvements.
- Depending on the candidate’s strengths there may be opportunities to work on processes for fabrication and characterization of original optical components which enable 3D holographic displays, and to optimize 3D image content for better user experience.
- Work closely with members of a fast-paced multidisciplinary research team of physicists and electronics, software and mechanical engineers to learn, share results, and help us move towards our goal quickly.
