We are looking for an Optics Product Manufacturing Engineer to join our team and play a key role in transitioning product designs from validation into full production through structured phase‑gate processes. This engineer will become the subject‑matter expert for released products, driving improvements, sustaining performance, and solving complex material and process challenges throughout the product lifecycle.
If you enjoy hands‑on engineering, cross‑functional collaboration, and working on highly technical optoelectronic products, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to product development through Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT).
- Support the transition from Alpha to Beta, ensuring designs are well‑documented and ready for validation, reliability testing, production ramp, and yield targets.
- Collaborate with Process Engineering to develop and implement control plans and manufacturing tests aligned with market requirements.
- Partner with Production and Supply Chain to scale designs into robust manufacturing processes that meet industry standards.
- Own product design integrity after Beta release, maintaining requirements, design artifacts, and engineering change management.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical challenges related to optoelectronic performance.
- Track engineering orders throughout the product lifecycle to ensure on‑time, on‑budget delivery of new optoelectronic products.
Required Experience & Skills
- 5+ years in an engineering environment, including experience transitioning designs into manufacturing.
- Strong knowledge of product lifecycle management, including requirements definition and documentation.
- Deep technical expertise in:
-Demonstrated problem‑solving skills using FMEA, SPC, DOE, and phase‑gate methodologies - Must have.
-Optoelectronic design (optical components, semiconductor devices) - Nice to have
-Industry‑standard manufacturing processes: PCB manufacturing, SMT, epoxy dispense/cure, wirebonding - Nice to have
-Failure analysis and reliability methods (microscopy, HTHH, thermal cycling, shock, vibration) - Nice to have
- Strong team player with the ability to influence across design, operations, and NPD teams.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
- Experience working in a cleanroom environment with ESD‑sensitive components.
- Working knowledge of mechanical design, drawings, CTQ, and GD&T.
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast‑changing environment.
Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
