Responsibilities

• •As an optometrist you will blend clinical optometry, applied vision science, rapid experimentation, and cross-functional collaboration
• •You will design and execute exploratory studies, measure subjective performance metrics, and provide the scientific insights that shape our understanding of improved vision performance through design innovation
• •Lead early-stage vision science research and rapid clinical experimentation to understand how lens designs interact with binocular vision and neural processing
• •Their primary responsibility is to design, execute, and interpret in-clinic testing of experimental and pre-commercial lens concepts, using both established and newly invented objective performance metrics
• •Clinical optometric evaluations on human-subjects to test the performance of early lens designs and the execution, validation, and documentation of experimental, pre-commercial, and early-launch ophthalmic lens concepts
• •This role applies process validation principles (IQ-OQ-PQ) to clinical research workflows, ensuring that vision performance outcomes are repeatable, auditable, ethically conducted, and scientifically defensible
• •The position is not a patient-care role
• •It is a testing, validation, and evidence-generation role, operating under regulated research principles including HIPAA, IRB oversight, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and internal Quality Management System (QMS) requirements
• •Clinical pilot study designs and reports
• •Objective performance datasets comparing lens concepts
• •Validated testing protocols and metric frameworks
• •Clear performance narratives linking lens design to wearer outcomes
• •Early scientific insights that shape future product roadmaps
