Teams at VIAVI Solutions

Owns optical thin-film coating product development from customer inquiry and quotation through design, manufacturing readiness, production transfer, and analysis. Collaborates with customers, application and manufacturing engineers, operations, and production personnel to resolve technical issues and improve processes. Requires optical coating expertise, metrology knowledge, statistical process control, engineering problem-solving, customer communication, and occasional after-hours production support.

Hands-on industrial engineering role in a high-mix, low-volume electronics manufacturing environment. Responsibilities include developing work instructions, conducting time studies, line balancing, improving workstations and material flow, supporting new product introduction, capacity planning, production analysis, root cause investigations, lean initiatives, cost modeling, and make-versus-buy decisions. The role requires substantial production-floor engagement and collaboration with operators, planners, engineers, and leadership.

Designs and releases mechanical tooling, fixtures, support equipment, and engineering drawings for coating and production operations. Manages tooling inventory, vendors, purchasing, documentation, and work instructions. Provides floor troubleshooting and CAD support, assists with equipment and prototype integration, and leads continuous improvement, yield enhancement, and process optimization efforts across production, engineering, maintenance, and facilities teams.
