  • Support process validation studies and proof-of-concept waveguide builds.
  • Design, execute, and analyze experiments that inform design decisions and process development.
  • Work closely with external equipment manufacturers, part suppliers, and integrators to support technology deployment and product development.
  • Apply engineering expertise in the areas of opto-mechanics, precision manufacturing, metrology, and tooling design.
Requirements
  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience using 3D CAD software to work on large assemblies in a document-controlled environment.
  • Working knowledge of GD&T standards, dimensional metrology, statistics, and their application to process and design controls in high-volume manufacturing.
  • Experience employing both traditional and rapid manufacturing techniques to create high-precision components and assemblies.
  • Knowledge of designing for low-particle environments/cleanrooms.
  • Knowledge of optical component/module mounting, interfaces, and adhesive bonding.
  • Mechanical and optical testing and analysis experience (FEA, ray tracing, reliability testing, materials testing, statistical analysis, etc.).
Preferred Qualifications
  • MS, PhD in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Knowledge of image processing and optical-display metrics, such as MTF, contrast, luminance, uniformity, etc.
  • Experience with design and prototyping of head-mounted optical systems and/or bench-top optical setups.
  • Experience in consumer electronics product development and manufacturing.
  • Experience with dimensional metrology equipment such as CMMs, OMMs, and interferometers.
  • Knowledge of behavior of materials (including brittle materials) and structural modeling/optimization experience.
  • Experience with product lifecycle management systems and document control.
  • Familiar with optical system testing, data/statistical analysis.
  • 5+ years experience working on mechanical designs of optical systems (lens assemblies, cameras, metrology instruments, illuminators, displays, lasers, mirrors, MEMS, etc.).
  • Experience working with international equipment vendors and international contract manufacturers.
  • Data processing using Matlab, R, Python, etc.
  • Experience using NX and/or SolidWorks preferred.
