PlanOpSim develops a numerical simulation software to model and design metaoptics, and provides design services and training for metaoptics.
The technology has been named as one of the top 10 emerging technologies by the World Economic Forum. PlanOpSim’s software is at the heart of this technological breakthrough. It is used for the design of nano-structured photonic components in numerous domains like telecom, VR/AR devices, holography, medical, automotive and metrology. PlanOpSim is a start-up located in Ghent, Belgium, in the heart of a thriving region for photonics technology.
As applications engineer your goal is to apply PlanOpSim’s software to industrial photonics design and show our users how to do so.
