Job Description

This role is dedicated to refreshing and modernizing existing optical test benches, many of which are up to 15 years old, while also supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts.

The objective is to redesign and refresh these benches using contemporary hardware, current test code, and modern software frameworks.

  • Refresh and modernize legacy optical test benches (~15 years old).
  • Rewrite outdated test code, including LabVIEW and Python.
  • Replace obsolete hardware with current, supportable platforms.
  • Redesign test systems with scalability and future products in mind.
  • Enable increased test capacity for upcoming products.
  • Refresh and redesign existing products to migrate them onto newer product platforms.
