Design precision mechanical assemblies for silicon photonics (SiP) and optoelectronic devices
Design and integrate free-space optical assemblies, miniature optics, optical mounts and precision alignment mechanisms
Perform detailed tolerance analyses and tolerance stack-ups for optical and mechanical assemblies
Design for micron and sub-micron optical alignment, including active and/or passive alignment approaches
Design fixtures and tooling to support prototype builds through production
Integrate mechanical, optical and electrical components into complex optoelectronic systems
Maintain, test, evaluate and improve existing opto-mechanical products and assemblies
Lead mechanical and opto-mechanical design reviews
Work closely with optical, photonics, electrical, manufacturing and other cross-functional engineering teams
Support contract manufacturers and suppliers during prototype builds, manufacturing ramp and production

What You’ll Bring

BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline with 5+ years of relevant experience
Strong hands-on opto-mechanical design experience, combining precision mechanical design with optical system integration
Experience in detailed design, development and validation of mechanical assemblies from prototype through manufacturing
Experience designing mechanical mounts, interfaces and assemblies for optical components such as lenses, mirrors, lasers/light sources, detectors, fibers or similar optical components
Experience with precision optical alignment, including active and/or passive alignment; micron or sub-micron alignment experience is highly desirable
