Optical instrument specialist vs research physicist

Differences between optical instrument specialist and research physicist duties and responsibilities

Optical instrument specialist example responsibilities.

• Accomplish team sales of 464K in clinical chemistry and hematology instrumentation.
• Train for electrical assembly on resisters, transmitters, and lasers.
• Work from conceptual design through final testing, including optical simulations, alignment and assembly of fibers and modulators.
• Develop a novel approach for optical signal processing (relate to digital signal processing), using PWI polymer modulators.
• Apply knowledge of telescopes, imaging sensors, and spectral instruments to phenomenology studies in support of government SETA contracts.
• Conduct research using online federal regulations, review Medicare and Medicaid policy and guidelines to complete an accurate and well-support decision.
