Product / Process Engineer – Electro-optical Systems

Product / Process Engineer – Electro-optical Systems

How you will make an impact:

• Lead the qualification and introduction of new Electro-optical Systems and components into manufacturing, ensuring alignment between design intent and production capability
• Provide technical assessments, manufacturability evaluations, and design recommendations for electronic and mechanical assemblies used in circuit packs and systems
• Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews, milestone readiness assessments, and continuous design improvements across development phases
• Own first‑piece evaluation builds and approvals, supporting prototype validation and production readiness
• Collaborate with design engineering, supply chain, and electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partners to enable clear‑to‑build execution
• Investigate manufacturing quality issues, implement corrective actions, and lead process and tooling improvements to enhance yield, reliability, and cost
• Support optical subsystem assessments and manufacturing improvements where applicable, contributing to overall system performance
   

The must haves:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• 5+ years of experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) for electromechanical subsystems in a manufacturing environment
• Strong expertise in electronics and mechanical design manufacturability, including Design for Manufacturing (DFM) assessments
• Hands‑on knowledge of electronic manufacturing processes such as printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, soldering processes, and component integration
• Proven ability to manage multiple development programs simultaneously in a fast‑paced environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to interface effectively with global partners and suppliers
• Experience working directly with contract manufacturers and suppliers to drive quality and production readiness
   

Nice to haves:

• Experience supporting optical or electro‑optic transmission and communication systems
• Hands‑on exposure to fiber‑optic assembly processes, including splicing and optical component integration
• Familiarity with prototype bring‑up, system testing, and manufacturing troubleshooting
• Knowledge of industry standards and best practices for electronics manufacturing and assembly
• Experience using engineering and lifecycle management tools such as ProEngineer (Pro/ENGINEER), Agile, and Microsoft Office
