We are seeking a highly skilled Optical Engineer to design, develop, and validate advanced optical and imaging solutions for next-generation products and systems. The ideal candidate will combine expertise in optical engineering, imaging technologies, computer vision, and system integration to deliver high-performance solutions for sensing, visualization, inspection, and imaging applications.

The Optical Engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams including hardware, software, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and product engineering to optimize optical performance and ensure successful product deployment.

The System Engineer serves as a technical leader responsible for defining and driving system reliability strategies, leading complex cross‑functional engineering initiatives, and influencing product design decisions across multiple product platforms.

Working closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Firmware, Software, Process, and Manufacturing Engineering teams, this individual will ensure that reliability, performance, and product quality objectives are achieved throughout the product lifecycle.

This position requires independent technical judgment, strong system thinking, and the ability to lead engineering efforts that span multiple disciplines and stakeholders.

• Lead system-level engineering activities across new product development and sustaining engineering programs.
• Define reliability requirements, test methodologies, qualification strategies, and validation plans for complex semiconductor equipment and subsystems.
• Serve as the subject matter expert for reliability engineering, system performance analysis, and root cause investigations.
• Drive Design for Reliability (DfR) practices throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Lead system architecture and design reviews with a focus on risk reduction, reliability improvement, and product robustness.

• Lead complex Failure Analysis (FA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations involving multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Establish corrective and preventive action strategies that improve product reliability and field performance.
• Develop and maintain reliability growth models, reliability predictions, and product health metrics.
• Analyze fleet and field performance data to identify systemic issues and improvement opportunities.
• Own reliability reporting, trend analysis, and executive‑level communications.

• Lead qualification efforts, accelerated life testing, environmental testing, and product validation programs.
• Develop reliability roadmaps aligned with business objectives and product strategies.
• Influence product architectures and engineering decisions through data‑driven recommendations.
• Coordinate technical activities across multiple concurrent development programs.
• Partner with supplier quality and external vendors to improve subsystem reliability and qualification processes.

• Collaborate closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Firmware, Software, Manufacturing, and Product Engineering teams.
• Interface with customers, suppliers, and field organizations on technical reliability matters.
• Support design reviews, technology assessments, risk evaluations, and product release decisions.
• Lead technical discussions and communicate complex engineering concepts to diverse audiences.
