Precision engineering for optical, aerospace and metrology systems
Quartus Engineering is a San Diego engineering firm building high-precision hardware, from optical payloads to positioning mechanisms. Its stack pairs simulation tools (Nastran, Abaqus, ANSYS, Zemax) with embedded and FPGA development (Xilinx Zynq, VHDL, Verilog, Embedded Linux), showing full-cycle analysis-to-hardware capability. Hiring is accelerating, overwhelmingly engineering and senior-weighted, while an ERP transition signals back-office modernization.
Quartus Engineering, founded in 1997 and headquartered in San Diego, California, is a privately held engineering services firm with 51–200 employees. It serves clients in aerospace, optical metrology, consumer products, semiconductor and life sciences. Core capabilities span structural analysis and testing, custom metrology, robotics and mechanisms, and precision optical systems. Work covers optical system development, integration and test, and quality activities such as first article inspection and supplier corrective actions. Hiring is focused in the United States.
Quartus uses SolidWorks, MSC Nastran, Abaqus, ANSYS, Hypermesh and FEMAP for design and analysis, Zemax for optics, MATLAB, Python and C++, plus Xilinx Zynq, VHDL and Verilog for embedded work, with SAP and HubSpot for business systems.
Yes. Quartus hiring is accelerating and concentrated almost entirely in engineering, weighted toward senior roles, with a small number of finance, sales and support openings, all in the United States.
Job posts point to optical system integration and test, custom tooling for AI&T, laser annealing, defect detection, precision positioning and optical payload imaging.
