Our client is a world leader in the design and manufacture of laser interferometry systems, precision optical components, complex monolithic optics (CMOs), and advanced electronic measurement solutions. Our systems offer high precision in a wide dynamic range, the ability to simultaneously measure position with multiple degrees of freedom, and the highest accuracy available in both air and vacuum environments.

We are seeking an experienced Opto-Mechanical Engineer to join our core R&D team. The selected candidate will have opportunities to research new technology, transform concepts and strategies into structured projects, and make key technical decisions to drive product development and customer success.

Job Description

As an experienced Opto-Mechanical Engineer, you will help define, develop, test, and launch solutions for our next generation metrology product family. You will work alongside engineers and technicians producing systems which include lasers, polarizing optics, fiber optics, precision mechanics, and electronics. You should have experience developing precision instruments that include optics, lasers, or similar components. Concurrent with the product development, you will specify manufacturing tools and processes.

Responsibilites

• Define, develop, and prototype new solutions based on system requirements.
• Experience with exact constraint design (kinematic principles).
• Analyze design performance through 3D CAD and finite element analysis (FEA) simulations.
• Characterize solutions for optical stability, repeatability, and reliability through experiments and structured test plans.
• Develop manufacturing processes for the assembly and alignment of the products you create.
• Design tools and fixtures to aid in alignment, fabrication, gluing, and assembly of lasers, interferometers, and optical components.
• Define, implement, and transfer manufacturing processes to production staff.
• Measure laser properties and optical performance to ensure product specifications are met.
• Generate and implement Engineering Change Orders (ECO).
• Troubleshoot technical opto-mechanical production problems and support product repair activities.
• Work with other R&D engineers to support and participate in New Product Introduction activities.
• Maintain knowledge in your primary area of expertise and understanding of technologies and standards required for the development of products.
