- Work remotely and on-site with active alignment equipment manufacturers to solve equipment hardware and process related issues
- Oversee failure analysis of process and assembly related issues
- Source and buy-off active alignment required for production
- Provide DFM feedback to the engineering team and own process related design decisions as related to active alignment
What you have:
- 5+ years experience developing custom designed optoelectronic active alignment equipment and alignment processes
- Hands-on experience developing and debugging active aligner hardware and processes
- Hands-on experience creating and modifying alignment sequences in custom equipment GUIs
- Experience optimizing processes for cycle time, yield, and performance
- A strong understanding and comfort of geometric optics and mechanical alignment hardware
- Experience specifying and developing original alignment techniques and algorithms
- Experience with automation hardware using precision stages, automated dispensing, and pneumatics
- Strong knowledge of epoxies used for active alignment
- Years of accumulated knowledge of working with equipment suppliers and contract manufacturers
- Excellent project management and communication skills
Nice to have:
