Optical design software and components for AR/VR smart glasses
Inmersia designs optics and near-eye display components for AR and VR glasses. The stack is heavily computational (MATLAB, Python, CUDA, COMSOL, Zemax, ANSYS) paired with mechanical CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, Fusion 360) — a shape that reflects iterative optical simulation and physical prototyping cycles. Early-stage hiring focuses on senior engineers across core R&D, suggesting they are scaling depth in optical design and systems integration rather than breadth across sales or operations.
Inmersia is a 11–50 person deep-tech startup in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain, founded in 2019. They develop optics and physical components purpose-built for AR and VR smart glasses, including near-eye display systems and mechanical assemblies. Active projects span optics simulation platform development, software tooling for display design (including Zemax integration), and the integration of optical and electronic components into finished products. The company is navigating European public funding requirements and R&D scaling challenges typical of hardware-software hybrid ventures.
MATLAB, Python, CUDA, COMSOL, Zemax, and ANSYS for optical simulation; SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, and Fusion 360 for mechanical design; C#, C++ for software; SAP and Dynamics NAV for ERP.
Optics simulation platform development and optimization, near-eye display software and integration, mechanical casings and mounts for optical/electronic components, and Zemax integration for their design toolchain.
