Design and development of advanced optical and optoelectronic systems.
From concept to a working system — combining optical design, optomechanics, numerical simulation, and hands-on laboratory experience.
About
Maciej Traczyk, Ph.D.
I am an optical engineer with over 15 years of experience in the design, analysis, and development of advanced optoelectronic systems. I hold a Ph.D. in electronics, specializing in optoelectronics.
My core expertise lies in optical design, optomechanical integration, and evaluating the effects of temperature and mechanical loads on real-world optical performance. I combine advanced numerical modeling with practical laboratory expertise in optical assembly, precision alignment, and system testing.
My track record includes projects for the space sector, including contributions to the optical system design of the Intuition-1 satellite payload, currently operating in orbit. My experience also includes automotive DMS/OMS platforms for premium OEMs, high-reliability electro-optical systems, and advanced industrial R&D.
