- Rapid prototype concepts to iterate designs.
- Ownership of designs from prototype to production.
- Generate and maintain process flow documentation.
- Conduct DFMEA, PFMEA & risk analysis heat maps.
- Generate & maintain BOM's & build standards.
- Ability to execute basic structural and thermal analyses to down-select designs.
- Practicing proper engineering revision control, preferably with Solidwork PDM / Arena (PLM), or NX.
Experience/Qualifications:- Experience designing mechanical assemblies for optoelectronic devices, such as optical transceivers, co-packaged optics, and datacenter switching systems.
- Expertise in Design for Manufacturability, Design for Assembly.
- Expertise with GD&T.
- Expertise with tolerance analysis methods.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to quickly learn and apply new technologies and design principles in emerging or unfamiliar fields.
- Willingness to support colleagues in achieving team objectives.
- Demonstrated independent judgment.
- Continuous learning mindset.
- Proven ability to execute deliverables against schedule and quality targets.
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a relevant discipline.
- 2-5 years of experience, with a focus on optomechanical design and/or optoelectronic packaging.
- Experience designing systems for cryogenic and vacuum environments is a plus.
- Experience with fiber optical industry is a plus.
- Experience designing semiconductor-related optomechanical assemblies, particularly for vacuum environments or applications sensitive to temperature-induced drift, is a plus.
