Teams at Neurophos

Build and manage the global supply base for precision optical components and subassemblies from prototype through volume production. Lead sourcing strategy, supplier qualification, RFQs, negotiations, quality interfaces, demand planning, inventory, cost reduction, and contract manufacturer relationships. Partner with optical engineering to translate specifications into production-ready parts, mitigate supply and geopolitical risks, and develop a team of buyers and supplier engineers. The role is full-time onsite in Austin or Sunnyvale with up to 25% international travel.

Design precision optomechanical hardware for free-space optical assemblies, including mounts, fixtures, and alignment stations. Lead tolerance analysis, materials selection, thermal and structural analysis, CAD and GD&T documentation, metrology development, active-alignment integration, prototyping, and manufacturing transfer. Collaborate across optics, photonics, packaging, electrical, and manufacturing teams while mentoring engineers and technicians.

Define and build the company’s optical metrology capabilities across R&D, prototyping, and production. Design and validate custom optical test stations, establish uncertainty budgets and calibration methods, develop measurement data pipelines, and define supplier and incoming-inspection criteria. Support active alignment, production yield analysis, and failure investigation while serving as the technical authority for optical measurement. Lead supplier coordination and eventually hire and mentor metrology engineers and technicians.
