Optical Aligner and Test Engineer

Join our team as an Optical Aligner and Test Engineer, where you will develop and optimize the optical module for our LiDAR and sensor product lines. You will work closely with various teams to troubleshoot and improve production yield, throughput, and test coverage. The ideal candidate will have strong practical experience with optical alignment, precision motion systems, lasers, photodetectors, and optical test and measurement equipment.

• Develop and optimize the optical module used in LiDAR and sensor product lines, including developing optical alignment systems and test methodologies.
• Specify and build custom fixtures and high precision motor stages for achieving sub-micron precision alignment with high repeatability and reproducibility.
• Work with external vendors to evaluate, specify, and procure advanced test and aligner solutions for the module and associated assemblies.

• MS or Ph.D. in Physics, Photonics, Optical engineering or related technical discipline
• Familiar with interfaces and tools such as I2C, SPI, UART, JTAG, GPIB, and raspberry Pi for automation with instruments and embedded systems
• Experienced with optical instrumentation such as tunable lasers, spectrum analyzers, optical powermeter, spectrum analyzer, switches, power supplies, DAQ, motorized stages and active alignment systems
• Strong programming background in Python for automation. Experience with LabView and C# is also preferred
• Experience in statistical analysis such as GR&R, correlation and DOE analysis for manufacturing process improvements using tools such as JMP
• Experience in integrated optics product manufacturing such as LiDAR and optical transceiver
