If you have experience interpreting engineering drawings, following detailed procedures, working with machining equipment (lathes, mills, CNC), or working in lab/manufacturing environments, your skills are transferable here. While photonics experience is a plus, it's not required, we provide comprehensive on-the-job training to help technicians from other technical disciplines learn photonics-specific skills, including fiber optics handling, optical alignment techniques, and specialized testing procedures.

If you have the technical aptitude and attention to detail, we'll teach you the rest.

Essential Functions:

• Execute fabrication, assembly, integration, test, or inspection processes in accordance with detailed work instructions and drawings, such as:
Optical Fiber Splicing and Recoating, Fabrication, assembly, and inspection of photonic circuits, Mechanical Builds and Assemblies, Metal Soldering, Microscopy and Profilometry.

• Experience with machining parts with standard tooling and shop equipment.

Qualifications:

• Requires a High School Diploma or equivalent and a minimum of 6 years of prior relevant experience or 2 years post-Secondary/Associates Degree with a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience.

• Active Top Secret/SCI clearance.
