Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJure Novak is a Staff Optical Engineer with nine years of experience designing high-power laser components and automotive lighting optics, now leading optical development at Lumentum. He blends hands-on optical design (Zemax certified) with process engineering expertise in R&D-to-manufacturing transfers, and complements that with Python scripting, Monte Carlo photon transport simulations, and neural-network-based modelling (Keras). His background spans medical and consumer product innovatio n—from noninvasive glucose sensing and femtosecond photodisruption research to a Bluetooth-enabled xenon flash product—demonstrating an ability to take ideas from concept and patent filing through supplier engagement and CAD to production. Based in Slovenia, he brings a rare combination of deep photonics theory and practical tolerance-analysis solutions that accelerate robust, manufacturable optical systems.
