Who is a graduate student majoring in optics and what kind of work is suitable for him?

First of all, I want to explain that there are not many famous schools and old schools of traditional optical engineering, not as many as other mechanical and electronic classes. I graduated from Zhejiang University majoring in optical engineering, and then I will talk about what I know about employment. If it is an ordinary school, you can have reference. I graduated with a master's degree in optical engineering and am currently working in a research institute. According to what I learned from my friends and so on, 70% of the undergraduates majoring in optics have basically changed careers. Some of them went to Huawei or other companies that didn't engage in professional aspects after graduation, and some even changed careers after working in the optical field for one or two years to engage in electricity, communication, single chip microcomputer and so on. Basically, the employment of students studying for master's degree is closely related to the topics they have done during their master's period, including software, hardware, image processing algorithm, optical design, coating, processing and testing, and so on. Basically, even those who do software and hardware get a master's degree in optical engineering, their jobs naturally change careers. Image processing can be regarded as optical image processing. My classmate in the direction of optical design, coating, processing and testing is still walking on the optical road. Speaking of graduate counterparts, we have to say that the employment field of optical engineering is still very narrow compared with mechanical electronics, and it is getting narrower and narrower, and it is even narrower to get a doctorate. Mainly because the domestic optical direction is not developed enough, most of them are in scientific research institutes, such as Changchun Institute of Optics and Mechanics, Shanghai Institute of Optics and Mechanics, Chengdu Institute of Optics and Mechanics, Xi 'an Institute of Optics and Mechanics, Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Anhui Institute of Optics and Mechanics, etc. It's just that these domestic research institutes are mainly optical research institutes, which are completely corresponding, and I work in one of them. Most companies are concentrated in Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, and there are also some optical companies in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu, Xi and Wuhan. There are few or no other cities. But what about machinery, electronics and electricity? There are many companies and enterprises in any city. The key point is that optical companies are basically companies that serve the broadcasting industry, and few companies use the advantages of light to focus on developing their own direction. For example, optical coating company, optical platform parts manufacturing company, photoelectric instrument manufacturing company, LCD panel manufacturing company and so on. In short, there are still few counterpart enterprises. As for the employment prospects, I can only say that there are fewer scientific research institutes and companies to choose from in optical engineering, and the employment scope is relatively narrow, which is not as good as that in machinery and electronics. But vertically, my master's students are basically employed, and they feel ok. It is not more difficult to enter optical research institutes and companies than electronics and machinery, so it is actually ok. And many students went to Huawei after graduation. Since you asked about the mismatch of enterprises like Huawei ZTE, to be honest, this kind of unit recruits people based on personal qualities, not professional background. My friend went to Huawei only because he is purely engaged in theoretical physics. In front of this quality inspection unit, students majoring in optical engineering and mechatronics have equal opportunities. Studying optical engineering will not affect your entry into Huawei at all. What is important is what you can learn during your graduate study and how to improve yourself. Let's write so much first. If you have any other questions, leave me a message. I will try my best to tell you everything I know, hoping to help you.
