Provide advanced training and support to Packaging Engineer III.

Functional Knowledge

• Demonstrates depth and/or breadth of expertise in own specialized discipline or field

Business Expertise

• Interprets internal/external business challenges and recommends best practices to improve products, processes or services

Leadership

• May lead functional teams or projects with moderate resource requirements, risk, and/or complexity

Problem Solving

• Leads others to solve complex problems; uses sophisticated analytical thought to exercise judgment and identify innovative solutions

Impact

• Impacts the achievement of customer, operational, project or service objectives; work is guided by functional policies

Interpersonal Skills

• Communicates difficult concepts and negotiates with others to adopt a different point of view

You will lead optomechanical design, optical sub-assembly design, micro optics, fixture and tooling development. Those fixtures and tooling are expected to achieve micron level assemblyaccuracy.

You are also expected to design / develop multi-fiber optical connectors and work with external vendors to develop connector eco-system.

You are also expected to be familiar with various materials used in photonics industry, including but not limited to: glass, epoxy, silicon and other related materials.

You daily activities includes working with 3D solid models, drawings, and documentation utilizing GD&T principles; performing tolerance analyses for precision alignment, performing thermal, structural/stress, and vibration analyses; assessing designs against environmental requirements; as well as conducting test and verification efforts.

With a product focus, the individual will actively partner with other engineering disciplines and operations personnel to develop solutions that adhere to DFT and DFM requirements.

MS and Ph.D in optics, or mechanical engineering is desired. Industrial experience in optical communication industries is required.

You should have expert level knowledge on optomechanical design, Solidworks or ProE, GD&T and ASME 14.5. Understanding of FEA for stress and thermal analysis, ideally understand the use of Ansys Mechanical and Icepak simulation tools

Be able to work in a high paced, dynamic product development environment.

Appreciation for Structured Problem Solving

Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
