Software Engineer (Optical Ray Tracing) Job Description [Job Description] As part of a project supported by the Kyoto University Incubation Program, we are looking for a software engineer with skills in geometry problem solving. Our aim is to implement algorithms for the automated design of micro-lens arrays. The job requires learning the principles of geometric and wave optics, which the candidate will use to write ray tracing algorithms and create a user-friendly interface for specifying properties of incident rays on the observation screen. The candidate should have a solid background in p...

Mike Estes has a new job. The longtime Parks and Rec programmer will now serve as coordinator for Teton County Search and Rescue. He's volunteered for the rescue outfit for 28 years. Estes will take over from Jess King, who spent seven years in the role and left on March 1.
