Optical and laser communication hardware engineering for industrial automation
Intane Optics is a 13-person optical engineering firm in Nanjing focused on hardware design and automation. The tech stack—MATLAB, ZEMAX, CAD tools (Solidworks, UG NX), FPGA, Xilinx, and Verilog—reflects a hardware-first, simulation-heavy design practice. Active projects span optical processing automation, laser communication platforms, and control software, with documented friction around production stability and algorithm optimization; the hiring mix (5 engineers, 3 finance, 1 manufacturing) suggests scaling both product development and internal operations.
Intane Optics designs optical processing systems and laser communication hardware platforms for industrial and research applications. The company operates out of Nanjing and works across the full hardware stack: optical simulation and design (ZEMAX, CAD), embedded control (ARM Cortex, FPGA, Xilinx Zynq), and manufacturing integration. Current work includes optical process automation, next-generation laser communication platforms, and algorithm optimization for control systems. The team is structured around engineering depth, with finance and sales supporting operations.
ZEMAX for optical simulation, Solidworks and UG NX for mechanical CAD, Altium Designer for electronics, and MATLAB for algorithm development. FPGA design uses Xilinx tools and Verilog.
Python, C++, C, and Verilog. Hardware control also uses DSP and ARM assembly via ARM Cortex and Xilinx Zynq platforms.
Optical processing automation systems, laser communication hardware platforms, and related control software. Active work includes process workflow optimization and next-generation laser communication hardware research.
