  5. Drive suppliers to provide data analysis and reports of process equipment performance capability.

  6. Ensure manufacturability, scalability and reliability are considered in end-to-end discussions on design and process down-selection, prototyping, equipment & tooling needs for high-precision assembly.

  7. Share assessment of manufacturability of optical/mechanical designs and assembly processes with internal team members and NPI engineering leadership at each stage of development.

  8. Engage in optical module DFM and assembly process validation

  9. support module builds and system integration activities at external suppliers

  10. and evaluate/assess the manufacturability of prototype optical systems.

  11. Collaborate to standardize data collection and reporting practices

  12. identify component and process CTQs

  13. drive IQC/IPQC/OQC capabilities and methodologies in place for CTQ data collection, analysis, monitoring and reporting and OCAP for high-volume manufacturing.

  14. Document, standardize, and collaboratively implement best practices, SOPs, and operational models.

  15. Influence cross-functional teams of engineers and managers to drive the development and delivery of first-generation optical systems to life.

  16. Develop relationships with component and equipment supplier companies, keep informed on new materials and fabrication methods, and on latest developments/capabilities in advanced high-precision assembly and manufacturing processes.

Minimum Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

  1. Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical, Opto-mechanical Engineering or related field.

  4. Experience integrating complex electro-opto-mechanical systems.

  5. Experience working with optical design software such as Zemax, CodeV or Light-tools.

  6. Experience with modeling complex assemblies in CAD, Solidworks or NX.

  7. Experience with scripting and data analysis, Python, or Matlab.

  8. Experience with drawing creation, tolerance analysis, and GD&T.

  9. Experience with quick-turn fabrication processes (3D printing, machining, molding).

  10. Experience creating and working within industrial design models.

  11. Experience with consumer-product mechanical design.

  12. Experience with design for manufacturability optimization.

  13. Experience with multiple full life-cycle product launches.

  14. Basic FEA skills for modeling structural and thermal systems, COMSOL or Ansys.

  15. Familiarity with display technologies such as OLEDs, LCDs, LCOS and uLEDs.

  16. Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
