Responsibilities:

The Manufacturing Design Engineer (Laser Systems) will work on laser and optics in support of manufacturing, new production introduction (NPI) and continuous improvement projects (CIP)! Support the manufacturing and field support teams on critical issues related to laser performance. Able to work with manufacturing and field team independently to solve sophisticated issues and provide achievable the plan of action (POA). Join today to be part of our team!

  • Implement and refine build sequences specific to laser alignment, optics integration, optics alignment and system calibrations to meet build cycle times and product design specifications.
  • Maintain records and reporting systems for coordination of manufacturing operations. Develop the required documentation to support processes and provide training to technicians.
  • Analyze manufacturing data from manufacturing via statistical process control to drive process, specifications, and design improvements.
  • Enable to implement the failure analysis for failed parts from manufacturing, field return to understand the root causes, to provide the solutions to improve the yield and process procedures.
  • Harmonize with other design teams or groups to design objectives and support the transfer of product/technologies for release to manufacturing.
  • Estimates manufacturing cost, resolves time standards, and makes recommendations for tooling and process requirements of new or existing product lines.
  • Involved in concept development, proposal quotes, detailed design, configuration definition, verification, qualification, manufacturing specification and documentation of engineering activities, which lead to improved product, increased output and reduced cost.
  • Setup and drive small team efforts that address product-level optics/systems issues (7-Steps, supplier issues, manufacturing customer concerns, characterization, or improvement projects). Fully understands and applies the 7-Step problem solving method.
  • Potential travel both domestically and internationally up to 25% of the time.
Qualifications:

  • Dedicated individual with keen technical ability, systematic approach, excellent problem-solving skills, positive demeanor, and standout colleague. Able to take the minimum instruction to work on the assigned project alone.
  • Understanding of system level interactions between optics, electronics, and mechanical parts to enable effective problem solving at the system level down to the individual piece part level.
  • Able to communicate effectively with peers, interdisciplinary engineering groups, customers, vendors and across cultures. The individual must also be able to effectively connect with a broad range of people located in the US, Europe and Asia.
  • Able to test and qualify laser, optical components, electronics, modules. Able to work with suppliers to improve incoming material quality and acceptance. Previous experience in supplier development is a plus.
  • Understanding of Deep UV (DUV) optics part cleanliness, cleaning, and handling procedures.
  • Able to read technical drawings, understand BOMs, and use a variety of precision testing and measuring instruments.
  • Demonstrated problem solving ability through design of experiments and carry out tests to collect and analyze data. Able to apply the 7-Step problem solving method consistently. Has excellent technical writing and documentation skills.
  • Knowledge of Manufacturing IT systems (MES, CAD, etc.) a plus.
